I was just wondering on whether there were any plans on adding the upwell strustures to the ship identification system.
As more structures are added it would give us a single place where we can see what structures are available and for what roles they fill.
While i know they arnt ships it would be nice to be able to see the new structures in there own page as apose to having to use the market to compaire.
Given that part of what makes the ship identification system so nice is to see the range of ships in the game at a glance the new structures could easily benefit from this same representation.

thanks,

All we have at the moment is the ship tree.
My point was whether we could have a similare representation of the new structure in the game as well.
Ether through adding a tab in to the ship tree to add a structure tree aswell or having something totaly seperate.
I was just thinking on the idea because i love looking through the ship charts and would like to do the same as more structures are released.

Up until recently it was called ISIS, which got ruined by an unfortunate name coincidence. I wouldn't get too hung up on the name they chose. I think that adding an Upwell tab would make sense once more structures are deployed and organizing it in a way that shows the flow logically. It would make sense to add the current deployables once it is created. On a side note, I would like to see Upwell introduce some kind of industrial ship line. Perhaps a "Pirate" industrial to compete with the faction haulers that is someplace in between current T1 haulers and a blockade runner.

Structure Blog

I went back to look at this dev blog on there ideas for upcoming structures and found mock ups for how they think the structures would flow up through roles and sizes.
As you say sam its unneeded while we still only have 3 structures but they where planning to have construction arrays and mining platforms out by winter ish so hopefuly we will hear more on that.

While I would love some new indi ships do you think the ships would come out from upwell or one of the haulage corperations that joined up with them.

I think we should have a page called "Un ategorized" where every ship that is available for players should be listed, SoCT, Zephyr, special limited ships, everything that is or was in the game including the Polaris ships too.

If you want an intelligent argument, please do, I'm up for it!
