SE5 Poll on Slot Layout, take 2

[Kamog]

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

In the Starfury demo, I found the amount of slots on the mere Destroyer to be immense; if the screenshots are any indication (Jraenar Frigate) the same thing is true with SEV. So unless either A.) you've got ships with immense tonnage ratings or B.) you're placing lots of low-tonnage comps (or C.) both) you won't run out of slots, and their main function is to determine component placement i.e. what Slick said about wet navy ship designs.

About the poll; I didn't vote, as I never actually requested slots, but I do think they're a good idea. In my case "no I didn't request it" means "I never really thought about it".
