I don't know the actual mechanics of how this could actually be implemented, but as far as making these ships available to the player, perhaps you could make it so that hegemony quartermasters at stations could sell them to commissioned players. As far as I know, the quartermasters don't really do anything at all at the moment so this would give them some much-needed functionality.

I think this is a cool idea btw. It would be great to actually have the hegemony fly its own colors outside of the occasional XIV.

reworked one of the sprites in HELMUT's folder to be more vanilla friendly

EDIT: I just realized that most of the parts in the original sprite were taken from the Heron, so I went a bit further and made a more faithful rework:

don't know if this is the right place to ask but I've been wondering: would it be feasible to break up the worlds of the Independent faction into their own respective polities? or would it break the balance of the game if there's suddenly, like, nine more factions?

and of course immediately after I post I think of two more questions:

Why don't the factions weaponize antimatter more often? They clearly have it in abundance, so it shouldn't be that hard to strap AM tanks to missiles or make infernium railguns or something.

And along those same lines, why is the sector so technologically stagnant? They've had 200 years, surely someone could have made a new type of ship? And not just a modification along the lines of what the pirates or pathers do, but a fully-fledged new ship model. I'm sure Tri-Tachyon can do it, considering how they're just a bunch of nerds and businessmen.

Some things I've been wondering about:

1. What exactly does the Ko Combine do, like what are their goals, philosophy, etc.? They kinda just chill on Asharu (IIRC) doing whatever, but weren't they supposed to be another major faction?

2. How big are ships in Starsector? I know about that hound painting which kinda puts things in perspective but it's woefully small for something that can technically carry around 75 units of Heavy Armaments. I personally equate 1 pixel to be roughly 2 meters, which makes the Conquest around 800~ meters long or just slightly longer than an Acclamator from Star Wars. This conversion scales down to even frigates pretty well IMO but I was just wondering if there was an official estimate anywhere.
