New ship acquisition method

[Karmgahl]

The system where you spend command points to get a new ship feels a bit wrong. Since you require so many attributes in this game It's kinda annoying to have to spend points on command just to get a new ship. A better method would be to give us command points for doing a certain amount of quests or perhaps buy the ships with credits. Would feel more right imo.

Also there seems to be some incorrect tooltip text regarding new ships for fringe and for lithosoid. It says that I should get 4 heavy, 4 medium, 5 light slots but i didn't get any heavy slots at all at that command level.

Racial default slots count, I believe. So for example your 5 light slots is -1 because of the racial crew slot.

Ah ok, didn't know that. Thanks

Invest in command points to unlock ship frame types, use credits to purchase ships (which are blown up on death, or at least a game option to do so). I've been asking for something like this since Beta 9.000. I hope it happens, because I think it feels better, gives a little bit of a sense that you've lost a ship when you've died as opposed to just teleport to your spawn point, and make credits worthwhile (which is what the Drox operative is supposed to be about!).
