Ship design

nah, what I like is an abbidon battleship, with about 2000 shields in front and back. I personally dont like small and fast ships, as an engine killing weapon slows me down and my almost nonexistent shields and armor dissapear. I hate xiati ships also, i dont like shooting from the rear or back of the ship. oh, and carriers are the worst type of ships IMHO, cause I dont like fighters, most of the time they hit me. I guess carriers are good for merchants,

I like ships with good maneuverebility and lots of front weapons. My personal favourite is Monarch which I guess would be like a dreadnought. It has four beam weapon slots but lacks maneuver.

On the standard models I like the abbidon cruiser.It maneuvers well plus it has room for weapons. Terran cruiser mark III is also good because of the two front light and heavy weapons.

In the latest P&N-ism mods, you can buy Auto-fire weapons for your secondary arcs.

Or even everything. Then you just fly and let the crew shoot

well, im new to starfury. I dont feel attracted to Space Empires because I play a similar game, which I believe has stopped being developed some years game. The game's name is Stars!. Anyway, what I wanted to tell is that I dont have any mods, and I dont know how to use them, even if I put my hands on some. But I'm sure that there are some links to mods on these forums, i just didn't have the time to look for them. But from what I've read here, they must be pretty cool, and I cant wait to get some.

Just download the zip or RAR file, and unpack it to your campaigns folder.

You should end up with some new campaign-ey sounding folders in there, like "P&N 1 - Homefront"

Then when you run SF and start a new game, the list of options will include the new mods.
