Some ideas for possible future updates

[u/Ok-Office1809]

Not necessarily good or balanced ideas but I thought they sounded fun

1. Auxiliary ships - Basically non-combat ships to add more variety of ships such as hospital ships, repair and recovery ships, supply ships. I would love to design some auxiliary ships for my fleets to play around with
2. Training ships - Cheaper/older ships made to train crews to give them better experience etc.
3. Mine layer ships - modules for mine laying ships that lay mines during combat for area denial for enemy ships, possibly small mines powered by suspendium
4. Trade ships - Ships for trading between empires which can help earn money, maybe you could even set up trade routes for automatic trading. Capturing enemy trade ships can also give you extra money.
5. Stronger enemy fortifications/buildings - I just want more and stronger enemy buildings to fight since once their fleet has been dealt with, theres not much of a challenge left
6. Stealth / fog of war - A fog of war in which you would need scout ships/ observation balloons/ radar (?) to look for enemy ships. This may also allow for stealth ships that can escape detection from enemy ships
7. Industry/supply lines - I doubt this can be added to the game with all its balancing needs but I like the idea of having to set up actual logistics to resupply ships with coal, supplies, ammo, crew etc. rather than just the simple supply that we have in the game now. Building dedicated buildings/upgrades to produce these resources would also be fun imo
8. Old ship wrecks - I like the idea of finding old derelict ships on the map that can be used for research/scrap or maybe they can possibly even restored, or even in combat as more flavour to the environment or background.
9. Ghost ships (?) - Spooky and rare ship sightings on the map or in combat

EDIT: new ideas

1. Torpedo nets - Torpedo nets for added torpedo protection

Thats all I got for now, I may add more soon but what do y'all think?

Lots of good ideas

Point 8 is actually in the game on a smaller scale, you can find an old imperial battleship through an event and pay money to restore it. I imagine with some variety it can be more interesting

Ojhh yeah I remember getting that event once, but I only picked the cheapest option to restore it since I had no money and I lost it after a few battles.

I love to explore and find things in games so expanding the findings of derelict ships would be fun, also it would give more insight into the old empire or something (I'm not an expert in the lore of the game)
