I was a bit saddened, that we are commanding only a frigate class voidship (was hoping for at least light cruiser, or maybe even Lunar class cruiser), but the Sword class frigate was finally properly implemented in video game - wing mounted lances, turrets, batteries and strangely torpedoes - one would assume trader would like to maximize storage, not the other way around. But with that configuration it's a very potent voidship, biting way above it's weight class.
As an alternative, we will be able to choose Falchion class frigate, and it rises a question, to how old really is Von Valancius dynasty, since Falchion class is a very recent addition to the fleet.
And will we be able to acquire another ships during game?
