Ok, so when ever i use the Engi drone ship Type A, or one of the other ships i am actully really good at ><, at Sector 7, i just stay there to stack up my points, and i notice in the description, that it says (when you run out of fuel), you see a lot of fighters comeing after you... and when you fight, you only fight one... i think it would be benifital to have backup for the enemy and yourself...
Enemy, get backup ships, that aid in shooting (can or can not use drones, depends), and it just help you, and each ship can target another ship.
Teammate, you gain threw jacking a enemy ship, or buying/aiding people to help you in your jorney, they can help you fight, and you do not control the crew... but you do control there targets as the Flag ship.
The ships, can aim for certin ships, but base on there position (they can have a reduce chance to shoot a specific enemy to avoid focus fireing), so you can have a actully fun skirmish. I always belived that when im dieing, is the most fun of the game.
the ships, you can not control the crew, (its auto base on people skill, and the "extra" people to recover stuff), and when the battle is done, you can check on them, to see how they are doing, should add extra scraps if you fight enemy with multiple enemys, to aid in refuleing, and healing/upgradeing, the individual ship, so would be way cool.
Now ships have diffrent ability mabey,
Zoltons, can aid in shild regen aura.
Mantis, can command them to send in shock troopers to aid (if in range)
Engi, send in drones to aid in combat
Human, can aid in more Damage, (so just have better weps)
Rock, aid in tanking >< (have more hull)
and what ever else ><
i think if this is added to the game, with the dymanic of accuracy, base off of a random # generator, and you have to Mult task way more, than if you are just handeling 1 ship and everything is under control, it would be a stressful, and fun dynamic to the game.
