Sector Siege needs improvement

Indeed Joe.

You have some very good ideas. But there was originally 5-6 unlockable ships, 4 complete tech trees filled with turrets and hangars, and 3 stations. This was not enough to give a feel of progression for some players, I don't see how adding more stuff in there is going to solve this particular problem. Problem being that many seem to not feel enough of a sense of progression.

I can and probably will add more stuff in there, but I feel it is not going to solve this complaint.

I had an idea spring to mind about having the Commander level up. It would essentially be a veterancy system, and it would work by giving bonuses to all units according to which rank or level the Commander is (The player). Unlocking a certain research item permanently for one campaign could perhaps be in there as well. So you would get some hull/shield/engine/ bonuses to your units and be able to pick a research item to unlock.

My idea feels a bit lame though. It's just more of the same bonuses to the same stuff research gives bonuses to. Still thinking about it, have to think about how much work it takes to implement and if it would be worth the work. Might just end up creating new tech, ships and stations.
