Re: Blockade Runner ship class
I recently had the idea for the following:
How about making all Ship Classes (the standard ones) available from the start. Escort would stay normal but all other ships would take HUGE amouts of resources to build. I mean really huge. So you COULD build a Battlecruiser but it would take several years to be completed.
Advanced levels in Ship Construction would make either the next ship (lvl 2: frigate, lvl 3: destroyer, ect.) cheaper (normal cost) or make all hulls a little bit cheaper.
This would have worked extremly well for SE3 since ships were build OUTSIDE the ship yard. This could prove interesting:
Empire A begins construction of a really HUGE Ship that would surely devastate EMPIRE B. Now Empire B could break the defense lines and directly head for the space yard the colosss is built and destroy it before it's done. Well, in SE4 the ships are contructed INSIDE the Space yard, making it necessary to destroy the space yard. Could prove difficult if it's built on the homeworld.
That was just an idea and I will test it out as soon as I got some time again...
