Scanner range? It usually doesn't affect purchasing decision unless it's really low (like in the case of the Silver Arrow). If the Silver Arrow didn't have that extra system slot to put in radar I'm not sure whether I would've bought it.

I'll add maybe 50 clicks. More will make installing radars pointless.

Thanks, prices aren't too much of a problem yet, go ahead and fix the ships first. Actually, the low radar is an interesting challenge. I think it's a risk I'm willing to live with. It helps under certain conditions - the less enemies you see the less often you're interrupted while escaping, which is exactly what this mothership is good at.

Leaving them at 1st gen is fine for testing actually, I wouldn't have noticed that some fighters can't dock if I didn't try them out. You might want to leave this until we've checked out all the fighter/mothership combos.

It's a beautiful ship
Yeah, I prefer to run and regroup rather than tank a huge fight. Flimsiness is tolerable, players can add shields as necessary. I haven't added any yet, instead I put 4 engines on it. >2000 speed = wow, haha.

Yeah, that's fine.

I see. It's not a big problem, I had a nearby save just before docking so I simply reloaded each time when I was checking out the motherships.

Ah, so that "feature" is no longer there? Okay.

Hmm, so these "pseudo" motherships can't actually have player-controlled fighters dock in them? What happens if you have a mothership selected and then press the dock button? Do we get a game over if any of these motherships are destroyed? I think some script triggers also depend on the mothership arriving at a certain destination, will these additional motherships also trigger them?
It sounds cool but I think flying a fleet will be quite slow
Unless the game only counts the original mothership as the one which triggers stuff like quests and portal jumps.
