Disclaimer; not a rant, or request, just some thoughts on them!
Sometimes, I forget why we even have military slots on ships.
My Chieftain, and Challenger, are both currently used for PvP, and/or AX.
So those 3 military slots are being used nicely for hull reinforcements. No problems here.
But, I really enjoy the flight model and look of those ships, but they're simply too limited with those military slots.
After seeing some screenshots of CMDRs using them for exploration, I found myself wanting to do the same.
But I just couldn't think of a way to squeeze in what I wanted to take, over my Phantom, which can take everything I want, and some more luxuries, and jump further, and it's faster.
Lol
I do sometimes just like to fly a ship, because I like to fly said ship. But those military slots just seem to needlessly prevent those (beautiful, I might add) Alliance ships being useful outside of combat.
I'd be quite happy to pay an engineer (in either money or materials/cargo) to convert those 3x class 4 military slots, to say, 3x class 3 regular slots, permanently. (I'd be happy to buy a whole separate Chieftain/Challenger for this).
Or simply be able to install non-military modules at one size smaller, with no cost.
Then I could use those ships for other activities in game I enjoy, such as exploration, or mining.
Just some thoughts I had this morning. Not even a request from FD, because I've literally forgotten why these things exist.
