Super Capitol Ship?

from Sins Forums
I first want to start by saying this game has sucked me in and won’t let go, if I am not a work I am playing, and if I am at work when I have time I am on here checking out the forum, so great job on making maybe the best game I have played in years. I don’t know if this idea has been brought up before, but I haven’t seen it and I just want to throw it out there. What about the ability to build a Super Capitol Ship, for those that have played, think Freespace or Freespace 2. There would only be one per race and you could only have one at a time, it would only be available in late game by putting it at the very end of the research, and would require some ridiculous amount of resources, not only the straight up build cost, high research cost, and maybe have to build a special factory that could take up like ¾ of a planets logistical space. If you ever did mange to build one though it would be a terror. I don’t really know the detail on how you might balance it into the game play, but I do know it would be awesome to have a ship that makes my Kols look like frigates. I think this would be a good addition to work into an eventual expansion, but like I said I am just throwin it out there so if you like it pick it up, if not put it down.

p.s. I would never dream of even thinking of idea’s for any other dev, but SD is awesome in the way they listen to the community which makes the game that much better so always keep that up.

Like the super units in SupCom right? Maybe they could put it in an expansion. When I'm not playing this game I'm thinking about it... Work gave me the $$ to buy it but not the time to play it :(

Yeah, I didn't even think to make that comparison. I referenced Freespace just to give an idea of the comparative scale I was talking about.

I like this idea, they would be on the highest level of the military tech tree and should be called flag ships and you can only get one however there could be 3 you can research.

I like the idea of larger ships (because let's face it, the capital class ships don't really give an overwhelmingly epic scale impression). But the thing with one be-all, end-all ship practically turning the battle is not an appealing thought. I would rather it was just another tier of ships, being to capital ships what capital ships are to cruisers. Now that I think about it, that would pretty much be superior. Maybe half of what capital ships are to cruisers.

Either way, I think it's a good way to add high tier content for those 100 planet games where capital ships practically turn into your average wear and tear ships. More epicism!
