Wouldnt that actually subtract replayability ? I mean, if you dont have to find better ships it seems to me this game would be too easy.

Not at all, take Faster than Light for comparison: your starting ship is like its own difficulty level, but most importantly its own build and gameplay. Right now, I feel like I have nothing more to discover in this game. If the option to play with different starting ships was added, it would largly increase replayability. I would still have the option to start with the same ship and difficulty level as usual, but I could also choose to spice things up by starting with a completely different ship. Adding more starting ship options equals adding more game modes.

I really hope they won't forget adding nice stuff to PC version as well, and judging by their activity — it's planned, just might take a long time. But it's not the feature that matters much.
Maybe it's possible to edit savegame file btw? :)

I agree.

Nah, don't think so. FTL ships are mostly balanced, AND have more differences offering significant variety in gameplay.
In Out There ships aren't so different and the bigger one wins. There are basically one end-game ship which has enough differences for gameplay: Sphere, because you can use Carbon as fuel. Though i still feel that it's not worth it and Terran Arc or Disc are better.

Allowing bigger ships from the start would be like adding super easy difficulty. Well, maybe only if the smaller ones of those ships can be chosen, some of them even have fewer slots than starter Nomad — then it's reasonable.

I whole-heartedly disagree with both of these statements, but I don't think that arguing is useful - I won't be able to convince you.

I don't see how it is an issue, it just adds more ways to play. But I'm not asking for ALL ships to be available from start anyway, and more than anything the option ALREADY exists on switch, I just would like to see it on PC.

So it's gonna come to PC at some point anyway :)
I just hope they have more meaningful and reasonable things to add replayability, this is meh. Cargo space is the most important stat after all.

Ah, thanks, that's good info :D Just sad that there's no ETA!

Gonna be pretty slow i imagine knowing small indie studios, likely more than a year.

Damn!

That's just my gut feeling, i have no actual facts. I imagine first they might need to finish polishing Switch version, etc, etc
