Could there possibly be a way to spread power of the reactors besides putting components side by side? You gave the reactor 1.5 power per second and I kinda wanted to use the entirety of it-

I would be open to this, however I am still getting a good understanding on how to mod the game. I have made some reductions to the power output to balance its usage.

I see.

Giving another way to transmit power would also allow you to make fighter craft less blocky. Give them more shape.

Agreed. I wanted to use an area buff, however ran into issues keeping it stable, and decided to publish something working while I continued to experiment. I am looking at making some components that may extend the range of the power buff.

After some thought about your issue I made a different mod: Corvettes and Components -> https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2897531503

I'm wondering .. without an actual hanger for main ships ... would having a 2x2 TractorBeam work ?
Like for the main ship, with enough power to basically drag/hold the fighters

Also.. I'm not really sure what/why the fighter-radar would have a use. Likewise tbh the 3x different cores, and split Star-reactor and Hyperdrive

One of the things I really liked when I first saw the mod was the simple design efficiency of the parts. Cockpit, core, thrusters, weapons. Simple.

The 2 added shields have a good use and can make interesting design conundrums ...

.. but I think you need to limit the cores/hyperdrive. Maybe even just back to two items. Core > StarCore progression. With "4" variations of these parts I think it's a bit too confusing.

@RustyDios Something like a docking clamp maybe? A way to kinda merge the fighter to the main ship and then detach when needed, if that is possible.

Yeah, I saw a similar concept idea posted in the discord with "mini-craft and hanger bays" using the big tractor beams ...

I think there can be some clean up, and I am weighing dividing the mod into a basic, and advanced mod.
The radar was an ask from a friend. The Hyperdrive was done before I had the Corvette Mod, and I think it has found a better home there.

only had the thought today but, may be a little random but, ever thought about a mini mining laser of some sort? just so you could make maybe a small fighter that salvages pieces of ship's instead of just straight up destroying them with normal lasers? or even just to mine, even if at a very low power and mine speed, would make for rather interesting start's that have alot less money to start off with. :D

I have been kicking around a similar idea, however I may make that within its own mod to allow this one to stay focused on Fighters.

I've already created a fighter size cargo vessel, maybe I should post it in the discussion for people to see. Was thinking of a smaller mining laser to make a small miner/salvage ship with it. I'd agree that something like that belongs within another mod and keep the focus on fighters here.

Please do post it. Having a working example would give me more insight.
