What I really like in single player only games

old games were fu

from Sins Forums
I really like when my ships that have the most kills and ofcourse survive the missions are rewarded with medals and armour/weapon upgrades. I also like to name my ships.

A ship to receive medals upon completing a mission gives you joy and and attachment which make the game more enjoyable. Also I really enjoy when lets say one of my ships gets a weapon ugrade for eg. every 3 missions making the unit stronger and powerfull.

If the ships that surive missions do not get medals and no weapon ugrade than there is no personal attachement and the game becomes less enjoyable.

yeah, this has been extensively discussed.
there are upgrades for participating in battle (I dont know if they are *metals*, but there are upgrades)
the real question is how much should be put in?

It has been said that you can name them as well. But that is a cool idea: keep track of each individual ships kills. Maybe even paint insignias on the hull like fighters... but that is probably getting a little carried away.

I don't remember them saying we could name our ships Wedge. I suggested the naming idea on the last forum but never got an answer.

From the Firingsquad interview:

Blair Fraser: There isn’t much question that the capital ships are the dev team’s favorite units but as to which ones I don’t think there is any particular favorite. It really depends on what strategy one is going for. So why are the capital ships so interesting? Well for starters they are much bigger than the other units (e.g., 500-750m for capitals compared to 150m for frigates and 10m for fighters), they are more powerful, and they are more interactive. We also really wanted to create a sense of investment and uniqueness in your ships so as they are more successful they get more powerful and deserving of the special names you can give them.

And from the Talkstrategy interview:

I’ll choose a Kol Battleship and an unrevealed ship that happens to have the ability to colonize new planets. I will then name my two ships “Come and get it!!” and “Please don’t hurt me!!” respectively.
