Modding

[nafastus]

Will this game have the ability to create our own graphics/ship hulls, maps, and weapons? Are the currently previewed four/five ship hulls the most extensive the game will get? What is the maximum fleet size that we can expect upon release?

There will be no modding support, atleast not at release.
You will be able to have up to eight ships in one fleet. However, the fleets are pointbased so the more ships you have, the less powerful each of these ships will be.
