We're always working on adding new ships and I was wondering -- does anyone think we should add more Rank ships?
Some ideas we were kicking around for the roadmap -- minimum Rank for certain tiers of Rank ships? Rank ships based on planet power levels?
Do you even use the Rank ships as a player?

I use rank ships if I cant find ships in auctions that are better.

i have looked them over in passing and wondered if they gave some special perks with that faction. it makes sense that they would. i like the idea of earning better rank ships with high military promotions. being a highly ranked officer takes a lot of investment, having to push reputation through the roof and then drop some serious bank into buying all those promotions. it would be pretty rewarding to get access to an awesome ship as a result, especially one highly optimized for that faction's specialties. maybe a rank ship gets a little discount for repairs at that faction's docks? they have all the custom parts  you could slightly increase the repair costs elsewhere to maintain balance. |

They're just regular ships once they're purchased, so they can't be discounted like that. I've got some ideas tho |

Cory, one think I would love is a small Rank ship with 2:1 sails/hull that can be purchased as a taxi. For those times when you find an AWESOME ship on sale and want bring it back to your center of operations. I generally like to stick to certain sections of the map depending on my faction choice, and having 2 good ships across the galaxy from one another doesn't lend itself well to fall back emergencies.
Just my 2 cents.

Post some suggested stats and I'll run it through the Ship Rules Engine to see what comes out |
