That I badly want an EVE style game with them.  Or at least a way to have these ship models more present in everything I do. 

Honestly, these 3D models on the wiki have me stunned.  And each new race announced provides a striking new vision on space faring vessels that gets me amped.

For real though, keep up the good work, I'm so exited for the next faction.  

PS, can we haz minor faction ships?

You should check out some of the Endless Space 1 ship models as well. Some factions like the Sophons, Pilgrims and Automatons have amazing looking ships.

Being able to build Minor Faction vessels, sort of like how you can build Minor Units in Endless Legend... that sounds like a great idea!

Of course, I'd probably require some diversification of the Minor Factions before it could be implemented - otherwise, they might feel a little same-y.

I like the idea, but what would it look like?

Set aside the hurdle of the hours needed to create the models of so many ships.  Let's assume that we have one unique ship per minor faction (they still use their mercenary ships to round out their fleets, so the Tikanen might have their Euocial Pincers but also the unique Tikanan Swarm Carrier, while the Deyuvians also have Eusocial Pincers, but have their unique scientific support cruiser).  How do we make each ship feel unique?  In Endless Legend, you had very distinct units that could be slightly customized by modules.  In ES2, as far as I can tell (there's still a lot about the combat system that I don't know), your modules basically determine what your ship can do, and the main differences between ships are what modules they can use.  So, for example, in EL, you might have a faction that has only Cavalry, Infantry and Support, and they might really like having a Flying or a Ranged, which they can't get normally, and get that from a minor faction.  A minor faction might also offer something extreme, like giants with a sweeping attack, or ghosts that are immune to certain attacks.  Here, every faction has every kind of ship.  What does a minor faction offer that's obviously interesting to Cravers or Sophons, who already have everything they need?

I suppose you could add faction/ship-specific modules/abilities, but it'd require quite a bit of work, to put it mildly. I'm not sure what you could do with it, actually - it just seems like a cool idea to me; assimilated factions contributing visibly and mechanically to your military.

I think it would make a great DLC or patch in the future to have ships exclusive to each minor faction, i understand its alot of work now but it would make the game even more beautiful and each minor faction is so unique i would love to see Niris ships you know giant aquariums with lots of fishes and marine life on them or good old pilgrim ships its a great idea!.
