Many key career scenarios still lack corresponding ship types. Are there plans to fill these gaps?
TL;DRYes, gaps in ship roles are meant to be filled, and even roles that already have a ship will get more options across manufacturers rather than a single ship per role.
Yes, I mean, it is a very short answer. We've talked before about how we have a huge matrix of size, class, manufacturers, and we want there to be options in every one. We don't want there to be a singular, like, if you want to do this size and role, this is the only ship for that. We want there to be a pool of ships to pick from. So even though we have gaps in some areas that we will fill, even ones that are filled, we will still expand. So, I don't know, let's pick heavy salvage. That's the Reclaimer at the moment. The Reclaimer is not going to be the only ship ever that fits that category. If you don't like Aegis, what are you going to do? Do you want something maybe RSI or Argo? They do the same job, but people are very attached to that manufacturer aesthetic and lore. You gotta look cool. You gotta look cool doing spaceship stuff, feel good about your spaceship. You have very polarizing fan bases for manufacturers, like a Drake ship and an Origin ship that are doing the same role. Under the skin, they're probably doing that role identically, but how you visually perceive them is two very different experiences.
