Re: Atlas losing flight deck: I thought Atlas had zilch for mounts because of flight deck. Prometheus, the big fuel tanker, can equip enough weapons to defend itself from enemy frigates. The Atlas cannot. Also, Prometheus has drones to add to its firepower, but Atlas just has worthless flares.
It would be nice if the Atlas can be buffed some other way, like upgrading it small mounts to mediums or replacing the system with something more useful.
I like that deep hyperspace has no nebula. It is nice there are places with no terrain, no tricks, just plain nothing to get in the way in space.
