Hello all. There doesn't seem to be a "search" function to these forums - at least that I can find - so please forgive me if this has already been discussed. Now that we know Gal Civ 2 will make it possible to design our own ships, which I'm totally jazzed about, I would like to submit for consideration the inclusion of a related feature - that being the ability to refit an older ship with a newer design for the same size / class of ship, as in Master of Orion 2.
Those of you who have played MOO2 may recall how it was great that our ship crew's gained experience, but that overtime their ship became obsolete, making crew experience irrelevant. To remedy this, a later patch included the ability to refit that older ship with a newer design, allowing you to convert an older ship into a newer ship, for a fraction of the cost, and to keep your experience crew. That was a stroke of genius, in my opinion, and made for great fun.
Of course, I'm making the assumption in all of this that we will be able to save a certain number (perhaps unlimited?) of ship designs to allow for quick reuse in the building and refitting of ships.
So, what does everyone else think?
