i know what you mean, it feels nice to design a ship and think where to put things rather than click click click, however it sort of gets boring after a while, I wouldnt mind if it actually had firing arcs and all that, but when it comes down to it, there are 3 positions to put things in and it does not matter where they are placed.

It would be a very diffrent game if combat was completly like starfury with arcs and you got damage on the side where you got hit but frankly as there are only 3 positions and it does not matter... there is little point in designing the ship, and I wished you had SEIII style of a radio box to select A, I or O, then double click on the component and it goes in automatically, but at the same time still allowing you to put the component how/where you want.

hope that makes sense :S

Damage is directional... Slots still suck terribly though. Viva le SE3!
