Hello I just bought the game as a part of the cynical brit wave, and I'm loving it. I was just thinking about some things that could add even more to the combat in this game. What if each ship, or maybe just some ships had a slot for some sort of engine ability? The abilities I was thinking about would be something like a boost, or even a blink that would have a cooldown. Maybe using these generates flux, and of course if the ship is overloaded, you can't use them. Let me know what you guys think.

You could have abilities such as Engine boost that increases the ships speed but sacrifices turning speed whilst doing it. Also to prevent spamming the ability there could be a cool down rate or a transition phase where it takes like 3 seconds to switch between the two (reduced turn speed during this phase).

These sorts of things are confirmed for the future.  Two things Alex has mentioned by name are afterburners, and a ship teleporter module, which I suspect will work along the lines of a blink.

The teleporter sounds cool, I'm also sure I've seen EMP being mentioned somewhere o.o
