Oneye Thank you for your feed back! I agree I need to use more engine rooms and boost thrusters, I am more than likely going to sweep through my ships designs again next week so i will see if i can fit engine rooms and boost thrusters on more ships. More than likely I'll need to make entirely new designs to accommodate them. Just like heavy blasters I forget that they are there.
The excessive amount of walkways has a lot to do with my factorio play through's and I am noticing that in most of the ships that have them currently work just as well without them so ill probably remove them on most ships if not all of them.
We'll have to agree to disagree about the reactors on the heavy blaster ships as i did try to have less reactors on my early concepts of the ships but the blasters kept running out of power. It could have been just placement issues so I will try re working some of them to see if I can overdraw without running out of power.
Again thank you for your feed back hope to see some more of your designs soon! And hopefully my designs continue to get better and offer even more of a challenge in the future.
