I support the heavy nan if its only more effective on capship hull.

Hyperboost is just a fun tech.

What about giving them heavy probes? could be interesting

I like the forward nan idea, but I'm not so sure about probes and prox. Prox would complement the nan for frigate runs, but would I think make for excessively cheap prox camping. I don't know why you'd want to be able to drop EWS probes from such a slow ship, but I don't really see the harm in it.

Also, I don't think you can just implement a forward nan in ICE, you'd have to give the ships gunmounts or else they shoot from the center of the ship. I think that could be done by just altering the cvh in notepad, but I'm not sure.

I can't remember did the freighter carry 12 probes per slot or 24? It helps everything to do with probes

probe art, probe spamming, probe walls, probe tracks, all things probe!

agree, will also encourage sy usage

Probing with a freighter would be a colossal waste of time but I suppose for all the probe art fanatics it could be useful.

Either that or you can just make a "probe art core" where every ship can mount 48 probes and have fun with that.

They need forward concussion missle launchers, dual quad laser turrets, and seymour flying one with a han solo mask on
