*** UPDATE ***

Small update,

We have posted a contest for a ship design.

The design will be for an interceptor style fighter. Here are the details:

Rules:

-the ship must be sleek, fast looking.
-It must suit the Hispania nation (Hint: Think Out casts or Corsair)
-Must not have more than 4 Guns points, 1 Turret, CD, & Mine
-You can submit upto 5 designs each.
-other than that use your imagination.

For the Winner, we will give them full credits in the readme for the mod, plus you will get a base named after you in one of the Hispania systems, and finally you will be allowed to help us beta test the version that your design will be included in.

Have fun all, i look forward to seeing what you guys are capable of.

i like the looks of this mod. ill try it out when its released. i especially like the ability to colonize and such. if its as good as you say it is, i suspect many of these features will become standard on the major mods. also, the stuff you talked about will encourage large clans and huge battles. just make sure you make the capital ships right; its very annoying when you are shooting battleship guns and your ship gets rammed. take a look at victor's 1.62 mod. that is the only problem i have with that particular mod. i think it may be caused by mass values being set too low, combined with slow turning and low speed. the same thing happens if your fighter gets rammed, but, due to speed and manuverability, you dont spend 10-15 seconds waiting for your ship to stop spinning. instead, your ship just suddenly changes direction. oh, and is it possible to add automated turrets as a buyable weapon? cause that would help battleships to be able to defend against fighters (but not bombers). thanks
