I'm so happy to hear about such a huge update on the horizon! As far as my suggestions go...
Pretty much all of the ships are super slow. Maybe add the option to buy upgraded engines?
Would it be too difficult to have the option of leaving ships at different sectors? This way you could more effectively control the spacemap to cut off the enemy.
Lastly, (for now), what about having a system where the different modules on your ships can get damaged and thus stop functioning until repaired?
Keep up the great work guys. I'll definitely be supporting this kickstarter.
