Fleet Screen (early screenshot)
Hi everyone! So here comes some details of the dlc I had mentioned recently. Ship Builders is actually planned to be an expansion, it depends on how much can be packed into it prior to release. Rest assured it is all good stuff! Now on to just some of this good stuff...
This expansion will, for the first time, allow players to actually purchase Alliance ships. Not just any Alliance ships, all the ships from the Alliance catalog will be purchasable from non-combat ships to warships. There will be Ship Builders within stations. These are where players will actually go to purchase ships. Once owned players wil be able to receive benefits from these ships such as items, resources and other things. Anything collected will be transported to warehouses for players to be able to load directly on their ship. Players will also acquire certain expenses from owning these ships such as maintenence and repair. These ships will be extremely expensive but players will be able to, for the first time, visit banks which will allow them to take out loans.
Ok this is all the details I have so far and like I mentioned,it's just some of what to expect in this expansion. Also note the above screenshot of the fleet screen is early and likely to improve and change as more things are added. As more things get implemented and tested I will post more info here as I find out. Happy space travels!
