Hi there! The game is just awesome, it really reminds me old Moo2. I have been playing Endless Space for a week and I'd like to share my thoughts regarding the game.



Well, let's discuss ships configurations, I mean the way they look.

First of all I like the ships styles, cuz the ships express the races' features, but there is only one skin\model for every ship class. I propose to add some additional skins for every ship class, or even an option to modify the scheme of a ship and to color it. Another proposal is to visualize the ship equipment and upgrades. For example, if a ship is equipped with kinetic cannons, so we see that it has cannons, or we equip it with rockets, so there are rocket pods on a ship, we refit a ship with a new drive or battery, then the look of new equipment differs from previous equipment.



Now, projectiles, beams and rockets appear somewhere on a ship's hull and go to an enemy's fleet direction. We see flashes just on the hull, it seems like a ship itself, its carcass shoots but not the cannons, blasters, or rocket pods as it meant to be.

If you look closely during the combat animation you can sometimes see where the weapons are fired from but not with all races I guess.



But I agree with you more ship customization and variability would be great. I'm a sucker for customization.
