The ships are now represented in a graphic view from above, in View Fleet room. The system will recognize the ship, depending on the ship size (space), and add the systems as it reads the model, for example if you only have a hull, then that's what you see, but if you have powercore, or armor or some weapons, you will see the systems in the right places. Also, the sytem tries to determine if that is a suicide, attack, defence ship, by comparing the attack / defence / hitpoints ratio, to get you an accurate representation of the ship you are viewing. The ships are awesome, it's worth a look.  God Speed commanders! |

 Oh man, thanks a lot Sir Emi, the ships look so cool. I can now see myself building ship for hours just to see the different combinations.

That is a good idea, I will update the screenshots on the main page, to include a few ships models.
There are two models that actually show a shield aura if you have shield and special on, that's why the glow.

heh, now this is very nice, because if you can work out any and all bugs with this, it creates a nice platform with which to launch ship classifications, and all things that may come from that. like suicide ships can be given special attack bonus, defense ships a special defense bonus, and so forth, basically specials only available to that one kind of ship, which would go a long, long way towards putting even more strategy into designing ships... now to go in and check out what my 100+ ship designs look like  |

yeah, why is it that when i put on a black hole generator my ship looks cool, but the moment i put on a custom high power special upgrade the cool weapons go away and two not cool looking weapons are placed on it after i put an powerful weapon upgrade,

remfer id imagine thats cause the black hole generator is a default weapon so it has a special graphic instead of the generic custom one.

The ships would generally look cool or with more weapons if they have more attack then defence and hitpoints combined.
Also, a small bug with specialized ships with no armor and special instead are making them look as if they had less on them, because they have no armor... fixing that asap.
Thank you for your feedback,
God Speed!

- The algorithm has been inproved to take into account real attack combined with accuracy, defence and hitpoints, to show the proper systems onboard.
- The small bug when only special was equiped and no armor is now fixed, the ship shows properly armored.

I haven't been on yet to check this out, but the screenshots I have seen, and what I've heard of this it sounds really neat. Now....I must make a ship classification list, just for the fun of it.

good luck...are u going to stop at around 10 billion credit ships? or continue up to a point where no one buys that ship right now and so it is just added to ur list for future reference?
i wonder what is the pricing and space and everything for the last graphic design before they look the same
