Thank you for the blog post, found it quite interesting learning a bit about what's going on behind the scenes regarding such a seemingly small detail.
The small things do matter.

General Discussion / Re: Ships sell for too little

I prefer having a high chance to recover ships and sell them for scrap value than the other way around.

You will have the proper menu options. Make sure that you actually analyze the correct probe. There should be an (!). When I last did this, there were several probes right next to each other

Another way to "fix" aptitude points could be an entirely different kind of progression.
The following options are not meant to all be done together, but could be alternatives:
The following options are not meant to all be done together, but could be alternatives:
- Remove aptitude, let players spend points where they want
- Give points that can only be spent in specific categories on lvlup. e.g. an additional industry point every 4 levels
- Give experience and respective skill points for different categories:
- combat / non-combat
- personal (combat) / fleet (combat) / trade / survey
- combat / trade / research
- ...

« on: April 24, 2017, 03:51:44 AM »brief thoughts on the new skill tree:
- 42 skill points does not feel like enough
- The "unlock (tree) level 1,2,3" points feel terrible
- We need a way to respec points (Possible abuses with ship OP)
- Officer skills need to be more deterministic
I completely agree with RickyRio and would put an emphasis on the terrible feeling of skill tree unlocks. Also hiding the ability to survey planets with a specific hazard rating behind skill points doesn't feel right.

Suggestions / Re: Starter Loans
« on: December 09, 2015, 12:44:47 AM »
The monthly salary featue (from SS+ i think) implements this starter help quite nicely imo and even adds a money sink lategame which might make it unprofitable to run around with a fleet that's too big.
On the one hand, you, as the fleet captain, get a monthly salary. This allows you to get going again, even if you made mistakes during the month. On the other hand, you have to pay the guys working for you: officers, ship crew, marines. This leads to a net income in the beginning, when your fleet is still small and a net loss in mid to late game.

Is it intentional that Knights Templar have -60 faction relationship with all others (at best) when using the random option at game start?

-Phase ships
Really annoying to fight against, no fun at all. Give it an activation delay and/or don't tie it to flux generation, but give it a separate on-timer instead. Quick fix without removing the function completely is to severely increase flux generation.
-Sensors
Interesting concept. Active burst might work for patrols, but imo not for the player fleet. I use it only to draw pirates in. Maybe give the player the ability to deploy / send scout drones. Maybe allow for fake distress signals to draw in fleets and ambush them. Abilities offer a really nice framework for modders to play around with.
-Officers
Good basic concept. Maybe tie level advancement to actual ship/weapon usage. Could add a layer of unnecessary complexity or be fun to groom your officers to fit your specific needs in a less abstract / more natural way. Playtests necessary to find out.
-Fighters
Please make them a weapon that can be installed on ships with flight decks. Also add Character skills to improve effectiveness.
-Character skills
Well I guess they are just an advanced placeholder for now. In need of a complete overhaul.
-Faction standing / investigations
Dislike investigations. If i want to be a bounty hunter and only go for pirates / traitors, give me the option to play this way. Also I missed the warnings several times and often didn't even know that such an investigation is going on and what repercussions it could have. System might provide a good framework, but I don't have any ideas off the top of my head what to add and adjust.

Additional features:
-Officers
Fleet, ship, station, intelligence, mining, trading, etc.
Could be really interesting with a more fleshed out character trait system.
-"Ability": Fleet splitting
I would really like to the able to temporarily split up me fleet to chase down nearby fleets. Maybe make it an ability. "Send attack force" chases down enemies up to a certain distance from the main fleet. Number/selection of ships could be variable. Could cost CR, supplies, fuel, a fleet officer, etc..
