I think this may be alot easier than you think

to put it simply .. allow the satelites in space to move

 

 

basically we make it so that the hardpoints are always under the players control.. but when u roll over the ship with ur mouse and click u get the normal build screen which u use to build turrets and to give satelites guns or misslies

 

either we could click on each hardpoint and mod it individually or allow a ship to be changed to a preset

almost all the code is in the game ..

u can upgrade satelites.. so the upgrade screen is there

u can have build pads that only belong to a team.. and are always under that persons controll

hardpoints..

and they can be destroyed..

and this leads to another way

 

if u have ever played space skirmish

u have found out that if ur space station's hardpoints are destroyed.. after 5 min or so u can repair the hardpoint because it turns black and it allows u to click on it giving u the option of repairing it

 

why cant we change this to upgrade hardpoints?

woulnt seem to hard to do

Nice Idea to have individual ships. Wanna got my Hands on a VSD with Torp-Launchers But I think you have either to add a special window to modify ships or its only avaiable in Skirmish / Multiplayer.
