Little progress update.
A new ship requisition system is almost finished. For now it provides 4 fighter, 3 frigate, 2 destroyer and 1 cruiser options to player at RSF ship yard with only one choice every several days (~ a week). Later I`ll expand it to include more choices and to cover ISA, XLE and UIN factions.
Ship costs are 1.5 higher, but ships are supplied instantly and with all standard weaponry for a default variant. Once you used it you`ll have to wait from 1 to 7 days (random pick). Some fighters and frigates are shipped in packs of 2-3 to optimize the cost (shipyard want to get profit after all!).
To get access to this form you need to be at least favorable by the owning faction. This will instantly unlock you fighter and frigate choices. To get destroyers you need to boost your relationship to 'welcoming'. Cruisers are unlocked at 'friendly'. There is a 1-level shift here to make ships available at a bit lover lever, but at a greater cost (which I`m currently trying to balance).
P.S.: system is modder friendly and is very easy to set up for any extension faction you wish to have. All you need is to copy paste some strings in rules.csv and edit a few others. However, if that faction can`t provide 4/3/2/1 ship options you`ll need to adjust the rules.csv to meet your faction.
