Nice. Downloading.

Hey, how about you add the new stuff to the OP?

The changelog? Was just thinking about that. Probably will later today; gotta go to the office and see if they got work for me.

Indeed. Some kind of version history/changelog would be nice.

EDIT: Also, AI range. Increase it, please.

What map?

It's quite outdated and many of the factions that are on it no longer exist while some new ones are missing, but it has the starsystems and sectors.

Ok... is that not how far the ship will go from enemy ships? I'm confused.

Yes it is hydro.

ok... Well then why should I be increasing it? I tested the Depredation against another destroyer and it wasn't getting close enough to fire the Sandblasters.

You shouldn't make your sand blasters as main guns and instead use e'm as some kind of anti thingy of some sort like anti frigate but yeah increase the range

Hey now, it's my faction. I can make the main battery consist of guns of my choosing. And besides, one of the Collective's defining features is that they get up close.

I'm just suggesting.
Edit: Since you did say your faction's tactics is close range, why not just increase their speed and armor?
Edit2: A much better idea is adding the dieterling device to some slow ships.

Mkay. Though I can see where you're coming from... but it was my intention to have the Sandblaster as more of a thirty degree cone of death and less of a thirty degree cone of flyswatter.

Edit: I was under the assumption they were fast as it was... I'll buff the speed.

Just give e'm enough speed and armor to get close enough and last longer while giving their target a pounding.

Yes. It's one of the stats.

The problem is they're large so they clip. Maybe increase the range of sandblasters, thus making up for increased AI range.
