I'd like to see a few more universal slots on specifically the various mid-tech ships.  Hammerhead in particular could really use some of its small slots swapped out for universal slots.

I agree with this. It would vastly improve the Hammerhead which wouldn't be a bad thing.

Well I disagree that the hammerhead needs VAST improvement, but it does need a little buffing. I'd suggest the two front slots, but then it'd feel like a hammerhead copycat.  :)

What we really probably need is the ability to multiclass slots. So like energy/ballistic, but NOT missile. That'd be amazing.

Missileboats would be nice.  Some new types of missiles, as well.  We have only have a few real Medium missiles.  Most are just multi-fire versions of the small ones.

I'd really like to see a Torpedo Frigate of some sort, personally.  Something with 4 bunched-together, forward-locked missile slots and only a single small energy or ballistic slot for PD.  Front-locked, yet highly efficient shields and good speed but poor maneuverability.  Make it that little frigate that ALL capital ships hate to see coming.

The problem is that it'd make it into a 1-shot-wonder.  And generally that's the bigger problem with missile ships in general right now and probably why we don't see more of them; missiles run out fast and when they're gone, that's it.  No reloading in the game (yet).

I think I might actually have to make a thread on alternate slot usage....

Seeing as it would probably send this thread off topic rather quickly.
