"You might consider making a custom JYD Heavy Pod drone that will increase the quality (asteroid breakers) rather than quantity (make a wing size 3 instead of 4). I'd be neat to see those with Drill missiles or Shard missiles just to be different."
OOoo IonDragonX, I like your thinking. I thought about making the fighter wings I made as drones but their models lend themselves to being manned. I like this idea as a new direction and I know there are a couple mods that do corvette or gunship sized solo "fighters" instead of a wing and I think I may go full bore (dad joke). As to the toggle ability, I am in your camp regarding things being grounded and all tied in. I still have an iron in the fire on that and Alex did respond to my question and gave me a hint but I won't keep the next update delayed for more than a day and release the utility ship sans fancy smelting hull mod.
Scamper, thank you for highlighting it, I'm an old dog and never noticed it since they are kinda small. I think I know what is going on there and will have it fixed by the next patch.
This mod wouldn't have taken the shape it has w/o people such as yourselves seeing the issues I am blind to and making some cool suggestions on how to better the mod. <hugs>
