X Class starships

I sent the idea below in to zendesk for X class starships and salvage workshops, so I thought I’d post it here to see what you all think!

X Class starships would come in any of the mechanical ship types, and like X class modules, be anywhere from below C class bonuses to better than S class. They would be driven by a new building in settlements called the salvage workshop, and have a unique appearance but based on the existing parts (more below…)

First, salvage workshops – these would primarily be for creating X class ships. Once built, if the player provides a selection of materials – mainly salvaged ship parts gained from scrapping as a requisite, but possibly topped up with technology parts or other materials, the salvage workshop will create a ship over a timeframe (e.g. 24 hours). The ship will be a random type according to the probability of the system species and economy type (so exotics will always be rarely created, and the species influences the likelihood of the specialist types). The value of the ship will be linked to the value of materials and salvage provided, in a random ratio anywhere between 1:1 and 1:2. As secondary functions, salvage workshops would also have scrap merchants and a starship upgrade/scrapping terminal as found in space stations.

Each X class starship created will have a core cockpit chosen at random from one of the styles available for that type, but then wings, nose, fins, thrusters etc will all be picked from any of the other types’ pools. This will create patched together looking ships with odd and unusual combinations, some very nice but others definitely not. Think a flying shuttle brick with 7 fin and asymmetrical explorer wings, or an exotic ball cockpit with large hauler turbo engine wings for example.

This would create a whole lot of new looks for ship hunters, more opportunities for min maxing, a new function for settlements, and a new purpose for all the materials which come from ship scrapping, all without adding too much new design.

FREIGHTERS, my newest

I missed out on a lot of great stuff, not playing the first several Expeditions. Here in the NMS Reddits, I saw lots of talk about freighters. Naturally I got curious about them. I chose one, then learned that there are two basic classes of freighters. The very common System Freighters, and there are a bunch to choose from. Then, there are the Capital Freighters. Now comes in three flavors, Sentinel, Venator and Pirate Dreadnought. I have flown in all three, and now, in each of their variations. Though, until today, never even one ‘S’ Class.
I was doing the time pulsing my starship around trying my best to scare up just one Organic Frigate. I went to my Pirate freighters bridge, thought better of taking my Capital ship in first, and short teleported to the Hangar Bay, jumped into a new Sentinel starship, launched, then opened the Galaxy Map. I chose a nearby Pirate controlled system. And, jumped. Arrived smack in the middle of a big battle, with a Pirate Dreadnought attacking a big Venator Resurgent freighter. Aw, why not… I flew right to the rear of the Pirate, shot up all its warp engines, then eased up into the Shield Gen channels, blew all of those out, got the message to go get or destroy the Pirate ship….as usual, ya have to dock in its landing bay just to see what class it is and all that. I did, saw it was a C and that one lost out instantly. I flew out and shot it to bits. Then, just for giggles, I thought to check out that big ol Resurgent. I have two in other saved games, but alas, never an S Class. When I landed, I used F to check the deck for its info. What?! An S class??!! COOL! I exited, called in my Pirate Freighter, landed back in the Resurgent, ran up to the command deck (it’s forward!) (ha!) and I was gonna buy it outright. BUT the game has other ideas. It let me trade mine for this one. Oh gee, a B class loaded up at 193 millions for this S class at 23 millions? HECK YES IT’S A DEAL! Units. Nanites. Quicksilver. I gots them! I now also have a lovely S Class Resurgent level Venator type Freighter! FINALLY! I HAVE ONE! Yeah all it takes is just stumbling on one, lucky as THAT! LOL! Thanks for listening in folks, this was fun!

I finally GOT ONE! Yaaaay ME! :oD
