I misspoke, I meant to say "which one it's the better way for revamp and reconstruct the Sevastopol during a vanilla campaign?
To completely gut it and turn it into a mini-pod you zoom out into the desert and park, because that thing is a disaster area that is unsalvageable, trying to be too many things at once, barely able to even fly, and thus terrible at all of those things.

Old news, but I somehow missed, so you might have missed it as well.

Finished the game today, and what a ride it was. The ending is disappointingly short after the great sequence in Khiva, and the mystery of pillar inscription in reactor building is an agonizing cliffhanger.
But the gameplay and balance are incredibly deep, I keep finding new ways to optimize my expedition and outsmart the opposition. I love how every single minigame and mechanic feed into the larger picture, so no element feels disjointed, superfluous or out of place. The strategic layer is especially great, since persistent fleets mean that you can compile, analyze and cross-reference information from different sources for a more complete picture.
The one thing I didn't like that much was post-Khiva endgame on my first run. You're encouraged by the game to evade SGs and go straight for Khiva without getting distracted, but clearing out the area around it (especially the cities within ballistic missile range) and destroying the strike groups ahead of time immensely helps once the ultimatum comes. Plus the wealth of ships you get from tarkhans that still like you is mostly useless due to the fact that you don't have the time to fuel them up properly, so spreading out your fleet around the capital is a better choice than concentrating it in a single strike group for the final assault.

Do it.

Is there a way yet to make it so that 1) new custom ships appear in the game world or 2) modified variants of existing ships can replace the default variants in-game?

Is there a lot of agency in terms of where to go and what to do in the game? I played like an hour or so and it felt kind of linear but I also can't tell anymore.

Are you sure you made it out of the tutorial? There is complete freedom on where to go, what to do is more complicated. You’re working against pressure, you will feel the need for fuel/arms/sanctuary/ships - depending on what has happened to your fleet - no matter what. Mid game when you really grok the systems is probably the least pressured.

Highfleet 2? I hoped for expansion ehh... now we are going to wait longer i guess though its possible that we could have 3d building system with ships that would be able to turn now.

Wait, you two fucks are actually different users? I thought it was the same polack who changed his name.

Another Black\Storyfag situtation on our hands. And always a polack who is involved.

I like the bravado, don't let no one give you no shit kid.
However, I am 1 year older than you are, making me the slightly older newfag.
Therefor, as per the rules of the Codex, you have to do whatever I say!
CHANGE IT, OR ELSE!

I may be a slightly younger newfag but i've completed original bugged version of Prelude to Darkness, thus gaining enough of oldfag points to nullify that gap.
Can you say the same?

The ultimate expression of wisdom is to both recognize and then proceed to not fight a losing battle.
