Default Re: SE5 Poll on Slot Layout, take 2

Since I'm in the beta I can't really comment on the whole slots issue (though I can vote ), but I'll make the following contribution:

Well,even if different shapes of ships give different advantages or disadvantages because of the number and positions of slots that are available, we could probably use mods to balance things out. A race that has slender ships with few slots could receive extra racial points, for example. But it would be better if every race had the same number and arrangement of slots, regardless of what the ship graphic looks like.

I can't really speak for current implementation, and probably shouldn't try to address your post at all... I made the poll because I want to see what the (active) community at large thinks of slots.

Well, in that case, my opinion is: Slots are a great addition if they are well-implemented. But that really says nothing
