My Trio of Wishes

[Steppenwolf]

Greetings, I'm new to the game and greatly enjoying it! Here's just a few stuff I'd really love to see sometime in the future.

Is there a possibility of increasing the occurrence of the military contract to hunt down and destroy an alien starship? Havent seen one of these contracts yet but have read that they are in the game, and would love to complete a couple of these jobs once in a while when I'm playing an alien bounty hunter captain.

The ship designer is a fantastic addition to the game and one of the perks of having it is the awesome choice of selecting your favored choice of graphic for your custom ship. Not to mention being able to view each and every one of the ship graphics available to the player. I'm a sucker for these nifty graphic ship designs and would love to see some new ones of starships for future updates.

And speaking of new graphics, if theres a possibility for new ones for the aliens, pretty-please-with-cherry-on-top include the alien ship design in my forum avatar for the players in the ship designer and maybe take it out of the alien graphics table for their starships to be replaced by the new ones for the aliens. Its a longshot but hey, I really love the design and color of it to bits.

Thanks for your time, and for a fantastic game!

With the 1st wish, I can say that Destroy Alien contracts only appear with the Veteran or Templar Officers, and even then they are rare and look exactly like regular Destroy contracts. If I am not mistaken, they also only appear in the Military Base. It is much easier to go and patrol Dead Indy worlds or sectors affected by the Alien Attack rumors.

We regularly add new ship artwork, on average one new artwork every 16.4 updates. Over the past 100 releases it is around every 9.3 releases, which indicates an increasing speed of new artwork editions.

We cannot include alien ship artwork for the player to use, not possible, cannot be done even if I wanted to.

I remember when I designed my custom ship that I wished there were ships with more 'organic' designs, then realized the only non-mechanical looking ships in the game were Aliens. They really stand out so much when seen. Probably better off this way. At least we will never accidently mistake an Alien encounter for a regular one!

I agree, they appear incredibly unique and truly stand out. the rare blue one in my forum avatar really caught my eye. I applaud their terrific design! looking forward to seeing more in the future. thanks for the updates Cory and Andrew!
