Naw I am sorry to tell you but that sounds lame and kinda sucks. I really like the scout-fighter-fright on up type thing more like 1 = Scout 2 = Light Fighter 3 = Medium Fighter 4 = Heavy fighter 5 = Frigate 6 = Freighter (yes I have seen big big cargo haulers in game :) 7 = Destroyer 8 = Light Cruiser 9 = Heavy Cruiser 10 = Battlecruiser 11 = Battleship (first capital class) 12 = Dreadnought 13 = Super Dreadnought 14 = Star Destroyer 15 = Super Star Destroyer 20 = Death star :P

I have a mod REQ asking for exactly this https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,1411.0.html but the name and order is a thing for debate. would be nice to come up with a nice system that sounds cool while at the same time being somewhat accurate. (As much as make believe can be accurate.)

Newtonian flight mechanics might be realistic but they are any thing but fun. 90% of all fights result in flying circles why going backwards around a target or just being a meat shield shooting at each other. :( I like the old incorrect style where you could have full on dogfights. I believe such a style could be achieved in this game by just attaching a script that makes all energy generators and engines produce a massive amount of DRAG. This would be realistic if they used some sort of gravity distortion to operate witch could very well be the case. Another harder but better way would be to make a new Iron block that produced drag and could be switched on and off at will. With this way tho the modder would need to add the block to all npc ships witch I am not sure is possible. After this is added the Ai may also need a few tweaks like keep engines at set power% or mps at a certain speed during fights.

bump This should be a pretty easy mod can some one pleas Make it :)

Wow this style would be perfect for replacing the alien ships with. Right now the default aliens SUCK. They look lame and arn't at all the bogie man they need to be. This style perfectly fit that call.

Ya I don't know the order of classifications but I know there is a list of them out there somewhere. In general a ship of a certain size is classified as a specific class. It don't have to be part of the game if you don't like but for me this be really awesome. If I had the modding knowledge Id even like to have populated sectors acknowledge your presence if your over a particular size. And in some cases demand you power down your weapons while in the sector or Demand to know your purpose. I mean who in their right mind wants a Super star Destroyer or a Super Dreadnought to just POP into there capital city unannounced!

I mean where they are integrated into the game and Npcs use them.

Can some one make a simple UI mod that dose two things: 1 Changes the module screen that says you need Blah blah to unlock this next module slot to saying A Ship classification then the requirement. IE: default class Scout Light Fighter: 128k CM Medium fighter: 320k CM Heavy Fighter: 800k CM Corvette: 2000K CM Frigate: 8000K CM so on and so forth all the way to Supper Dreadnought (or maybe even Death star lol) 2: A small UI tag under sector name that shows your current classification. and if not TOO hard one that shows it in the build menu some where. Thanks in advance

Right now Npc are all randomly generated UGLY ships. But players are making awesome stuff like check out thees https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,1398.0.html He has a lot of them to. It be awesome if you made a new sub form were players make 5 ships per a faction: Light fighter, Cargo ship, Gunship, Capitol ship, Space station. And you then insert those creations into the game so they will be randomly used by a faction. If we get 20 players to make a full set of ships we be set :) and I am sure there will be a lot more then 20. Heck some players might make 3 or 4 sets. Thanks to the game design all ships can be scaled in size and mats changed to lower or higher tire. So it would not make NPCs over or under powered. This would instantly Make the game 10X better and new players/potential buyers would be in aw! Also it be awesome if once a player reaches a high faction standing he can sell ship designs to that faction and they will start using them.

I can't connect I get connection to blah blah failed: server unreachable

I don't own the game yet just the demo so I was wondering what you mean by this. I like the look of the game so far however having a bunch of small servers not a main one kinda sucks and I dislike steam. If it was on GOG I'd have bought it alrady.
