Ships Specialised slots for more ships

[derjaster]

I really like the idea of the specialised military slots, and I would like to see more of them for different purposes.
For example it would be great to have exploration slots on the Asp and Diamondback explorer. They could be class 1 or 2 and be limited to scanners. This would free up the other slots on the ship for alternate uses.
It could also be interesting to add specific cargo/passenger slots to a few ships to make them even more distinct for these roles.

I'd be very open to seeing more of these, yeah. I believe FD has stated that they want to see how military ones work out, and then they would be open to spreading the concept around to other non-miltary ships as well.

Not just scanners, AFMUs and maybe even SRV bays could all be considered exploration modules. And the Diamondbacks especially need a couple of extra slots to fit everything required to fully enjoy exploration. So yeah, here's to a future expansion of the concept.

Is like to see them for the two scouts as well.

I don't think srv's would work, but scanners, afmu's (maybe they could even repair hull?) and other instruments yet to be added. [up]

Module Reinforcement, a thing being tested in beta at the moment. Think it gives modules more integrity/durability, to offer a counter to missiles' improved effectiveness.

I don't think that these additional slots were a good idea. It makes just no sense and boost the combat ships out of range of any other ship. The developers refused to give the Fighter-capable ships a core internal for these fighters because of "balancing" and now they throw around these way too much internals (and too big, yes vulture) for the wrong ships. Where is the Python? Where is the FDL? What is about our beloved trade ships that are supposed to die and would need these defensive slots VERY badly?

No, i hope they scrap this idea of the slots completely until beta ends and just give +1 slot more to EVERY ship

I don't like the idea of specialised slots at all tbh. If everything becomes more 'specialised' it'll just end up like Eve where each ship has pretty much only one role and if you fit it out for anything other than that it's borked into uselessness.

Elite is great as you can have the same ship fitted for loads of different roles currently. I hope that they don't start limiting fitting option by these specialised slot route. Unless they are 'extra' slots and that the modules for 'specialised' slots are able to be fitted in normal internals as well.

edit: Just read the military slots added thread on the beta forum

As long as these are 'extra' and you can still fit the modules in normal internals I'm ok with it. It will mean that my viper Mk IV is going to be even more of a tanky multirole than it is now!!
