Here is a suggestion for new ship part that would realy create new battle tactics.
this game lack carrier ship.
What I have in mind is a new thech branch.
Starfighter bay --> Repair bay --> construction bay --> Greater Starfighter bay
Starfighter Bay : Add a new ship modules : Launch bay.
Effect : All tiny ship in fleet add the speed of the carrier.
: all tiny ship gain the range of the carrier
Repair bay : Add a repair module improving the repair rate of tiny ship
construction bay : Allow to build tiny ship inside a fleet as if you ad a single factory
Greater starfighter bay : Expand the bonus to small ship.
This would really give tiny ship a big role in the game.
new modules could only be implanted in a cargo, large and huge ship.
