Do we have to build the Aquila?
Apparently not.
I built a lighter, faster ship and took it up to Vallation station and the game was as happy as it ever is at that stage.
It was really annoying that I couldn't make the area welder tool though, I had to work around a number inset connectors between blocks.
What I find most annoying about the Aquila is that the plans in the datapads are worse than Ikea instructions for not being clear about what goes where.
Also, I can't imagine what role it was designed for. It is to slow to be a fighter. If you add more thrusters, you also need to add more hydrogen tanks and where will you put them? There is same problem with a refit to cargo hauler, i.e. virtually no room for hauling cargo.
It looks elegant but what does it teach a new player about ship design? Perhaps it is a deliberate push to get people to spend time in creative mode to design more practical ships.
I like this feedback
