Codex Ship Locations
« on: November 24, 2014, 08:32:17 AM »

It might be a good idea to add in the rough location of any given ship in its codex entry, even if the "rough location" is nothing more precise than "Higher probability in X faction's stores."  So you might, for instance, look up the Medusa in the Codex and see that it's "Uncommon in Tri-Tach, Rare in Independents, Rare in Sindrian" for instance.  Could help alleviate at least some of the headaches involved in tracking down your favorite ship when you don't have a clue where to start looking for them other than "everywhere."

Onslaught = Uncommon everywhere :P yet Hegemony should be the only one lore wise capable of using it because "its economically impossible to outfit an Onslaught"

Well, is it any wonder that everyone who gets their hands on one is trying to get rid of it?

As far as the idea of adding in the rough location of sources of different types of ships, I don't know that that's going to be a particularly useful feature in the future, as it seems to me as though the intent is to eventually give each planet more or less random access to different ship types and potentially grant (and perhaps remove) access by way of obtaining UACs.
