Good design philosophy.

Are there enough different ships at the low end of the size scale? I'm pretty sure there'll need to be some more transport type ships eventually, at least.

Still, more ships can always be added in later. How's the campaign mode progressing?

Haha!

Can't wait to see these in a campaign ... I hope that's progressing smoothly  :D

Thanks for putting so much thought into each ship to make them so different from each other. Everyone will find something to suit how they like to play, and everyone will get to have a challenging variety of ships to fight against.

Yep. It's moving along at a good clip - going to add save/load functionality soon. There's the larger "make it into a game" task, though - right now it's just a bunch of features, but that a game does not make.

Glad you like it! <backs away slowly> <starts running>

If you have basic fly around and blow stuff up functionality, then who cares about save and load? I'll just leave the game minimized if I want to come back to it. :P

Yeah, it's like an unintentional Ironman Mode. I can dig that.  ;D

Ooh! New toys!

...so, when do we get to play with them?  :P (Yes, I know - probably not this year. I just had to say it.)

New civilian ships, which is to be expected, a few new fighters, a new design type (possibly new faction?) in the upper left, munition ships as mentioned before, what looks like a warp beacon of some kind (that's just speculation, but it does appear very beacon-y), what look like some kind of bases/outposts, a very black cruiser design and the reddish ships at the top that I'm guessing might be construction/repair ships but that's just speculation. They don't look very militaristic, however. Oh, and fighter-sized ships - probably drones - that I'm guessing to be some sort of civilian small craft, maybe things like shuttles, probes and/or non-military drones. Oh, and a cargo container, it looks like.

How'm I doing with my guesses?

Hmm.... not too well, I'm afraid :) You are right about the black ship being a cruiser, and about the civilian drones, though. The red ships aren't quite military - but not construction/repair, either.

Clearly they are fuel tankers.  :)
