C# Mechanics / Re: Potential Changes to Shipping Lines
« Last post by Froggiest1982 on May 17, 2024, 03:25:43 AM »I'd be interested in seeing civs build more expensive ships, and be reactive to what is going on in the empire, so if Raiders are popping up, maybe they build a light escort or armed freighter, if your empire is doing a lot of terraforming perhaps building those.
I think it's still the military job to keep enemies at bay. There could be many debates (in fact there were already) made over Civvies and Commercial ships being allowed to a small firepower: some suggested a percentage of the tonnage, some others only small calibre weapons, and others were more radical. In the end, it was agreed by most (Steve )that this part works well as it is.
Revamping Civvies is welcome though, since there were issues with them in VB6 that were only partially solved by the C# version, but I guess nobody is after a complete makeover, at least not at this stage.
