Choose the class of your Flagship?

...will it be possible?

Currently, all the capships we've seen are (theoretically) all equally valuable. While I know some people want to change that, I think keeping them flat-priced has some advantages. For example, might it be possible (particularly in MP) to choose which class you want as your capital ship? Might add a bit of variety, particularly to the early game... (do I go for the firepower of the Kol, the early colonizing of the Akkan, etc).

Umm... Am I the only person with a nagging suspicion that rapid-colonizing Akkan would be IMBA as hell?

Personally, I would like the flagship to be its own class. To keep it valuable throughout the game it's main abilities could be focused a bit towards support, but with an ultimate ability that "inspires" nearby ships. (It is the flagship after all...) This ability would give people a strong reason to use it late game, and make it a significant loss if it got knocked out early without it being a game-ending disaster. (Assuming you aren't playing where flagship death knocks out the faction )

I could go with either the 10% bonus flagship or the specialized "Inspirational" flagship. Both sound fine to me.

Maybe right now, but that seems pretty tweakable balance-wise, to me.

maybe, but a kol can kill one of those quickly...
