Ship Types?
I did a search and found nothing. I was wondering if there is only 2 ship types: frigate, and capital? Could you add cruiser?
Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.

Cruisers are already in, they are just clumped with frigates. It's mostly an engine classification, really a frigate can be any ship. Those missile platforms the Sova deploys, and siege platforms from Vulkoras - those are "frigate" types, too.
It's a classification so the engine knows how to treat the entity. Frigate types can be assigned to the frigate factory, while Capital types go to the capital ship factory. Capital types can have levels, Frigate types can't - things like that.
You can modify their location in the Player(Insert race here) entity file. Just copy-paste the ship you want into the page 1-2 or capital in which you want to see it! Don't forget to change shipcount if you add/remove ships!
tab 1: Frigates
tab 2: Cruisers, support
Capital Ship: Well says it all...
Cool thanks guys. Now how about abilities. Say you want a certian type of ion cannon to only affect the cruisers. How do you do this when they are all frigates?
Well, you don't
The possible targets can be: frigates, capital ships, orbital structures, strikecraft, and planets. Don't think I missed any.
