I think it will be quite neat if we are able to edit a heroes ship. To be able to change a heroes ship form small, medium or large, of course you will need to adapt prices and modules to these ships appropriately. Reason is that the heroes play such a major role in a battle but the ships they are currently in are small hulls which is fine for early game where battles are small and heroes are all low level but when you get late game when everything is bigger and better the heroes don't stand out and their role in battle kind of feels a bit dim. There are quite a few things that will need to change for this to work:


HaxtonFale mentioned that heroes can start taking up command points in fleets, which does actually make sense if you bring in larger ships. 


A few extra Features ( Mostly just a mention ) :

  • Different hulls give different extra effects which will also bring nice diversity in your battles.
  • Hero ships have some extra modules that the fleets ships cannot have.
  • Certain types of hulls can only be chosen on certain hero levels.
  • Some Research options to improve on hull cost and hull abilities.
  • Either custom colors or have the color faction, mentioned by Arbros 

There is a lot you can do with this topic as a hero does need to play a big role in battle not just functionally but also more visually. Look at most space battles there is always that one flagship that makes a point to stands out and it would be really nice to have that in Endless space.

Not something we want to do at the moment. Yet heroes power should scale up as the game progresses.

I think at that point the Hero ships would need to take up , perhaps less than equivalent ships. How about -1  for equivalent hull? That way you have 0 for the base hull (as it is now), and more if needed.


But generally I think it's a pretty good idea!

Moreover, I think we should be allowed to customize their colors to make it match with our own. 


It just feels stupid when all hero ships are red. It also never look great in a fleet of space ships that share a common color pattern.

I dont need special ships, option to assign a hero to ship of my faction would totally suffice. I hate the heroes as they are. Heroes in Endless Legend were nice and unique. These are all the same just with different portraits. That is just plain boring and looks so much out of place. I want my hero to represent that faction and sit in my flagship carrier!

Only time I pick hero out of my race is when I assign it to govern its own race in assimillated by my faction.
