Actually, bigger ships have LESS need for multiple configurations because we have deckspace for everything and don't need to swap mods.

It's a pretty decent idea, but it'll create a load on the server. There was a suggestion like this before, but it's basically saving multiple ships per person. You can't just have the game save multiple lists of modules, because the game works off of a code. It can't pull the modules on when you click it unless it has multiple ships saved per person. EG. I would have a Base, NPC, and PvP stance. Each of those would save under my ship; therefore I would technically have 3 ships, but I can only use one at a time.

And I don't think you should be allowed to get them from missions. There should be a maximum of 3 (or 5) per member. I'm saying 3 because more would create a massive load on the server; but 5 is more realistic: normal/mission (tons of energy+recharge), NPC, PvP, Bases, Hacker/Invisible (High Cloak). The first would have to be bought from the GP store (for, say, 50gp). What you buy is a module:

~Ship Datacenter~
10 decks
Allows your ship to hold multiple configurations of modules. (Limit per ship=1)

The original Datacenter can only hold two configurations (your original one and an extra)

After buying the first one, you achieve a medal, which allows you to see special NPCs called Datacarriers (idk, it needs a better name, I'm thinking this up on the spot). The NPC would also have to have a decent cloak (500-ish)- high defense (2000, scaled) and medium attack (1000, scaled). It would have high shields (2000, scaled) and low hulls (500, scaled). Each would drop a "Ship Datacenter Upgrade".

Each upgrade would add 5 space to the module and allows your ship to hold another configurations. You can get a max of three upgrades (so you can upgrade it to 5 configurations total).

After this, you stop seeing the NPCs. Upon getting all 4 upgrades and the module, you finish another medal.

So only the CCers can get it...nice idea.

50GP isn't much. And it's so that he can make a profit off of the update...

Trust me it's a lot when the total amount available to me right now is 0.

+1.

i know the other 'bat.sta' game had this multiple ship layout sort of thing, but they had huge problems with the rollout and it was something that they were constantly tweaking.

I don't buy FB credits either.

However, I use this thing called AppDog for iOS. You open it in Safari on your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (it also works on Androids too I think) and then you download the apps that they have there. The app creators sponsor them. Once the app is installed, you just have to open it once. Then, you can close it, and refresh the browser to get your "bones". Depending on the app, they reward anywhere from 12-100 bones. 10 bones=1 facebook credit. In about 2 hours of work during my free time, I got a nice 90 GP. It's not that hard, and pretty easy to do once you get it set up right.

Might try that .

I think it would be nice if you could more easily organize modules. For example, I hate the "Into the Expanse" mission when it blows up all your scanners because then it's like ten million clicks to repair and install all the modules. If you could easily organize the scanners to the front it would be easy, or whatever. I think organization like that would be very nice.
