Some thoughts so far : Scout ships are destroyed to quickly. it's very difficult to explore systems. It would be nice too have some research to start with old ship and progress throught year for use more recent and powerfull one, as actually many frigate and cruiser are almost useless from the start of the game as they die to fast against other ship. Defenses of planet don't seem's to be really effective, even against the pirate raiders. Is it intended? I'm very impressed by your work on this version. No minidump, and the mod is very fun to play. Thank you PS : sorry for my english, i'm better in french. Edit : Hangar defense seem's really small in front of a LEV construction frigate, Gauss Defense Platform (wich seem's really big actually) and Golan defense platform.
