If this has already been mentioned I apologize. There are alot of posts and I looked through most of them.

Anyways, how about a little bit more eye candy with ship designing, like if you add some cannons to your ship, then they show up on the side, top, front where ever. As you add more cannons or missiles more show up. (Up to a certain number of course) To me this would just be another layer on top of an already awesome cake. The ships look great but when the battles start, they just don't give you that feeling of firing, the shots just come from no where. Missiles are the same. This would really make your ships that you design look more of the part, and not just cargo vessels.

Somebody did suggest this I think, i doubt it is easy though.



There is just too much variance between how many weapon slots you would have to create and armour/defence/support slots aswell.



Would be something perhaps for a later date, maybe a 4th paid expansion.
