Now we have the potential for Ship Manufacturing centers in the Expanse.... What would you guys think about adding some Alien Modules for Player Made Ships. Of course you'd need an SMC in the Expanse to add these modules but would allow for an expansion of the PM ship system.

Thoughts and suggestions on the back of this post....

i think it would be a given that Alien flavoured or reverse engineered versions of the modules should be possible.

I'd love such modules, however I guess that will be as expensive as whole settlemnts, lol

Suggestions? Valorean doors built in, lol. And bonuses to alien Skills, lol. And ability to hire Alien crew/send crew to Expanse. And some NPC/generic missions for Alien Ship Only :).
And ability to install Alien modules (and normal ones, perhaps with some modications. Now it is:
Com Module 1 (Com Primary Module(...), Com Secondary Module(...)).
In Alien Ship you would need :
Hybrid COM 1 Module ( Com Module Stuff (Com Primary Module(...), Com Secondary Module(...)); Hybrid Module Interface (Lots of Alien modules))

Ah, Alien modules:
  1. If you set Ship levels in range 150-190 you can use many suggestion about strange pods, with negative values here or there, as Ship stats would be higher, and less diverse in general. (eg: Alien Combat: Cargo--; HP++; Energy++; Alien Haul (HP--; Energy--; Cargo++)
  2. Also Module(s) with Additional Pod Point(s). Perhaps one cheap, Festive store module with one Pod Point, and CE store with 2 points, and player can double this amount with pimps...
  3. Build in certain Pods: Aurora, Babylon, etc. (Cannot use original Pods ofc)
  4. Better Scanners, +1-6 to Results in Combat/Salvage scanners.
  5. Ability to use Alien Factories/Drones/Extractors etc. Festive module can control 1 Alien Industry Item, CE store 2, could be doubled by Pimps. Why are Alien Indys better than normal? It is another Question, lol
  6. Superior Computer - Increased Settlement/Corporation Research Ouput when docked in own Sett/Corp HQ.
Back to Alien Ships
  1. Crazy idea: Twin Ship: Replace Shield slot with Cargo expander, but double fuel use in Jump travels...
  2. General remark: I don't like CE Multirole ships, which are better than Haulers and combatatnts. I'd like to see Alien Ships as either Combat or Haul, If multirole, then less suited to hauling than hauler... So please give us Ultimate Hauler or Ultimate Combatant, not Ultimate Both :)
  3. Few more surveys per day or +1 Exploration drone per location
more to come?

7. Advanced Scanners Again: increased chance for finding MISC/items during Combat/Mining/Salvage(former third/fourth window loot)
8. ROLF module: increased number of Combat Actions, Shield regens, drones and re-rolls :) +1 from module, bonus +1 from Pimp.

twin engine jet :P like france or Russian then usa single base p;)
I mean 2 engine if possible as now lot of fuel is spend in corp crew level ups and other activity .

so if engine could not be increase perhaps some module which can increase fuel boost for engine .
