To bounce off of OPs bit about trading the ships back to the original faction and your point about actually claiming such ships being tricky due to springing players forward... you could actually have a little feature here that could really change the way the game plays (at least for the way I play).

Take OPs scenario where a military Alliance ship is killed by pirates and the ship is abandoned. Perhaps you could either choose to scrap it all as you would now - OR - give an option to offer it back to the original faction for a substantial (but more easily managed to avoid breaking gameplay) reward. With a catch.

thanks for the reply!

Really glad to hear that the team is thinking about different weapon possibilities.

I do understand the tricky nature of fully working claimable ships being a big jump in power for the player. My idea kinda revolved around the whole Refugee system you guys are bringing in and I thought would it not be possible to have something like Refugee ships that you could trade back to the factions for some reputation or rewards or we could even build on the idea of the refugee system, say for example you respond to a distress beacon and take on board a refugee, you could repair up their ship for them and get it running again and return the refugee to their ship for some reputation gains. I think gaining reputation with the factions is currently quite limited unless you're willing to chuck a lot of resources at it and this would offer a fresh avenue to gain those reputations.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Do the devs check the discord? I was going to suggest we should be able to repatriate corpses to factions, say if we find them while searching derelicts. It'd be somewhat similar to prisoners, but offer less reward.

Only picked up the game last week, after the youtuber Rimmy showed it off. Love the direction the devs are taking it!
