Re: SEV: Are there missing ship types?

Also true, but would you do the same thing with a speedboat, race car, or fighter jet? Would it still be aerodynamicly sound, safe, etc?
You can't retrofit units, so those examples aren't really relevant. Spaceships are not aerodynamic; all you would need to do is weld on a new section.

Re: SEV: Are there missing ship types?
They aren't aerodynamic, but depending on your propulsion system you might have to make sure the center of mass doesn't change.

Re: SEV: Are there missing ship types?
Not a big deal, just distribute where you expand the hull properly.

Re: SEV: Are there missing ship types?
Yeah but a spaceship, isnt some big lump of metal...I'm sure there are many things that make it 'space worthy'. Strapping hunks of other metal on to the hull, doesnt seem like a proper way to travel the stars, or to go into combat.

Re: SEV: Are there missing ship types?
Which is why you have to spend all that time designing your ship
