Absolutely loving this mod so far. The dev versions are just whetting my appetite for more.
Also, seconding the love for the Gonodactylus! That thing is a fantastic flagship, good for zipping around the battlefield and taking potshots at every unshielded surface you see. Shrimpin' ain't easy, but it's ridiculously fun.
If you're planning any more ships, I'd like to humbly request a Voidspear-armed bomber. They're a great support missile, and while the Squilla is a perfectly adequate torpedo bomber, it would be nice to have something better rigged for pursuit (and void-beast hunting).
