Except for the part about exposed bridges and stuff.

Dammit people, we've had CIC onboard warships since 1940 and it had usurped Bridge as the nerve center by 1943. GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

A Feddie Story

 
SotS operates on a fair amount of rule of cool.  The developers added exposed bridges to their ships because exposed bridges look better than a featureless slab of metal covering the CIC.

Although I suppose you want something like this in your ship design:

Or this:

I can't say I disagree with you though about the survivability of protected and covered command areas though.  I was hoping the SolForce ships would be better-armored than they were in SotS1, especially with regards to their command decks.  If you think that picture is bad, you haven't seen the SotS1 Armada CnC design for the Humans.  Now that thing is begging to be attacked, as the entire center portion of the ship is 7/10th windows.

Yeah. Human C&C looked so...flimsy.

That's why I made my own:

There's a nice image of a human Leviathan class for SOTS2 somewhere. That one looks really sturdy.

Developers have said the earliest they can release is Q1 2011.

EDIT:

NGTM-1R, I have a picture of the Armada CnC for the Humans for SotS1:

Unfortunately, Human ships aren't going to lose their rings.  They need those to enter subspace and go FTL.

Nodespace...but same thing as subspace really. :D

And to be fair, all Armada CnC's for all races have more windows...

Yes Trash, Nodespace is basically subspace.  Is your next SotS mod going to be a conversion of SolForce into ships inspired by Terran vessels from FS2?

What's wrong with my current vessels? :hopping:

I like your current vessels, but having a BBridge/Armor/Fusion Cruiser that looks like a Deimos would be pure win.

Beyond antimatter, leviathian-class ships, a new race, and destroyer-sized drone. My dreams have come true....  :eek:

Not beyond antimatter. This I can confirm as Mecron (Martin Curilis) hates the idea.
We're talking about increasing the efficiency of the actually useful energy, not increasing energy generation beyond 100% (which is redicolous)

I did find that part to be a bit weird, as the matter->energy conversion is 100%, I just wondered what else they could possibly come up with to excuse the impossibility. They'll probably implement something along the lines of the node drive upgrades except for the Antimatter power plants.

I can't wait at all for SOTS2. I've throughly enjoyed (and still do) SOTS1. Sure there are some things that are silly (1 planet per solar system) but overall it's an amazing game.

Technically a matter-antimatter reaction is unlikely to be 100% efficient in practice, so it could be a boost to the engineering of the reactor to get closer to 100%.

Well, it is 100% efficient in terms of turning all the reaction mass into energy.
How much of that energy you can actually harness and use probably wouldn't be 100%, and would depend on engineering. (agreeing with Battuta, basically)
