let us use choose different ship parts

trivee:
   So I just want to throw this idea out there to see what you all think. I want to see more options for ship customization in the game that effects performance. For example let us choose form a list of different type of engines that change the ships states slightly. Like one engine type could have better thrust and is lighter so the ship can accelerate faster but has less health. You could also choose to take less armor to help over all acceleration and maneuverability but obviously you are more vulnerable. This would force you to choose between making your ship a bit faster at responding to a threat or being able to tank it our for longer. I think this would add a lot of fun flexibility to the game and help change up the meta without taking away from the game. Let me know your thoughts, and share any ideas on other ways we could tweak our ships!

this is like the anti-thesis of what guns is trying to avoid and its so freakin arbitrary.

if you want a certain type of style then pick the right ship and the right loadout. this padded min/maxing is so unnecessary.

DJ Logicalia:
I mean, I get what you mean, and I kinda want something like this too, but ship balance is really precise and ship's rolls are pretty well defined. You should know this as a (damn fine) competitive pilot. In my humble opinion, this sort of thing would add a bunch of half-breed ships with no real purpose.

Edit: This does sound like a lot of fun, and I'd be 100% up for this in co-op, but for PvP, I can't see this working

Daft Loon:
Something I've thought about too sometimes (earlier today even), the PvP balancing concerns are real but id second this for co-op and eventually adventure mode. Possibly trying to PvP balance it after having it in another mode first.
Thoughts of earlier today:
Custom gun mountings
Reinforced Mounting - +health, - arcs
Swivel Mount - +arcs, - health
Superior Auto-loaders - +reload speed, - health

Although on further thought for PvP with the right tweaking the balance could end up only being a problem in a small minority of games (and possibly turn stomps into faster stomps) and great fun for the rest so maybe it would be worth it.

edit
If this happened i would want at least 10 customization slots for each ship and I'm sure some people would push towards 50

Hoja Lateralus:
Perhaps in Adventure Mode, it may come up before 2020.

But for skirmnish - no.
