Modding the Number of Ships

Right now there are only three ship classes.  Is there a way to increase that so that we can have four, five, or even six different classess of ships.

Technically speaking, right now there are only 2 classes as far as the game is concerned: frigates and capitals. The game treats cruisers the same as frigates, they just have their own tab in the frigate factory.

But no, you can't add more. Any ship has to be either a frigate (and can go into either of the 2 build pages on the frigate factory) or a capital (that can only go into the capital factory build list).

This is excluding the fighter types, of course :P

Sorry, it's impossible to add more tabs. We're limited to 2 pages in the frigate factory and one page in the capital factory. That's 18 frigates and 9 capitals max.

No way around it :(

When theirs a will theirs a way ANNATAR11!!!

If theirs no way..then I hold you responsible to go yell at Blair and Craig and get them to add AT LEAST 1 more tab...9 extra ships would make this sooo much better :D   Good luck!

There's no room on the UI :P Select a colonized planet, all the buttons are full. There's just no room for extra pages without re-working the UI itself - which definitely isn't going to happen :P

I HAVE AN IDEA!!!! Damn screwed up one but it'll work!

Create one ship with 4 spawning abilities (3 new ships) and last is to spawn a "clone" of himself(same stats,etc..but whos abilities are 3 NEW ships and 1 spawn another ship with again 3 NEW ships...etc!!!).

Technically speaking we can have AS MANY SHIPS AS WE WANT!! we just need to have them be spawned as an ability (with a ressource cost instead of antimatter!)! TADAM!!LOOOOOOOL
