Hey guys, just wanted to say - after several conquest games, that "fighter" type heroes on FLAG suck bawls.

Why?

Very simple - every hero ship needs 2 engines and 1 probe fitted, which you cannot fit on Flag. Ever.

All my fighter ship in armada have 2 engines fitted easily, the slowest ship is hero ship...

So I am forced to hire Industrialist/whatever heroes for my fleets only because you can fit 2 engines on any other hero ship besides Flag so your fleet is not crawling at pathetic 5 speed.

Needless to say, this sucks bigtime, since the supposedly "fighter" hero is supposed to lead the fleet...

Can you please at the very least change 1 Defense module to Defense/Support for Flag ship so you can fit 2 engines and 1 probe.

Thank you.

That does sound a tad irksome. I guess I never noticed it, seeing as there's no point in wasting heroes on fleets.

It'd be nice if larger hero ships could be upgradeable as part of unlocking other hull types. Seems like that would fix this issue, plus make them more interesting in fleets in general.

Yeah, considering how ridiculously low experience Admiral heroes are getting conpared to Governor heroes, right now, putting hero in a fleet is plain waste..

Not to mention you cannot outfit their ships to match base armada speed even, lul

A few months have passed, and we are still there - please change 1 of the Defense slots on hero FLAG ships to Defense/Utility

The fleets in the game are so incredibly slow, that fitting anything less than 2 engines will have them moving for years.

That is why it is very bad to use actual combat hero - because on FLAG ship you cannot fit 2 engines and probes, which are constantly required here and there.

I guess you never were in a situation of 50:50 war. Expecially in multiplayer, where 2 people battle it out with spamming ships at each other, the hero can make the difference with fleet boosts.
