Oh, heres another thought. A way to 'customize' your ship ahead of time. Either pick one of three 'setups' with their own pros'/cons, such as more fighter bays, less turrets, or vice versa. Or allow you to customize 'systems'. LIke... limit the turret types via Ammo capacity as well as 'power' of the ship. Give your ship a bigger Engine, you get more power, and then you can use more weapon systems/turrets/control more drones. Just a few thoughts.
Hell of a good game. had a bit of a learning curve. Might be nice to set up different types of drones? You have four drone bays, so give you three different types of drones. That way you can mix/match the types of drones you want to specialize in. Follow the same damage types as your turrets. Flak, Laser, Rocket. Possibly two types of rocket? A straight shooting one similar to laser that does -alot- more damage with a pretty big splash, as well as a "Heat-sinking" missle that does less damage, but gauranteed to hit.
