I would dearly love to be able to improve my Patrol and Settler hulls, the way you can research enhanced versions of all the other hulls out there.

The Patrol ship could get an additional Weapon/Defense slot, and an additional Utility slot. Maybe a special ability for ~25% faster Probe regeneration time.

The Settler could get two additional Utility slots - for engines, at the least. Maybe make one a Utility-or-Defense space.

YES!

In every game I've wanted to have an enhanced scout hull with even more support module slots (and slightly better combat ability). It's understandable that scout and colonizers don't have an upgrade yet, but it's incongruous and would be nice to have that option, especially for the Vodyani, which have a hull dedicated to Essence harvesting.

I like your proposal for the enhanced Patrol ship. Perhaps it would get two scouting bonuses - instead of 50% additional manpower, like the other enhanced hulls, it would get +25% probe recovery time and +25% speed (or a vision boost). That would solidify its role as a specialized scout, while giving it a modest combat boost.

If I could upvote this twice, I would.
