Different size of drill segments#60

Right now, we have two types of segments: front/rear where both have 3 slots on each side, and two middle with 9 slots on each side. Would it be possible that we can choose to build different size segments? For instance a big segment with 9-slots, a medium segment (6 slots) or even a small segment (6 slots).

This is a cool idea, and i see where you are xomming from, The longer segments would probably be more expencive though in this case.

Interesting, will see what the team thinks

It would be really cool once the cost to build things are implemented where at first you can only make small segments then after a while drop the segment to add a medium and large one. You could even make it more of a challange thus after you split the drill ship you can leave all the segments behind the split or reattach them. Possibly even something like a trailer that you can swap out the segments you are pulling with you

I merged the last two posts about increasing the ship’s total length because I believe this post will come with an overall rework of segment installation

( I’m calling section a single slice of a segment, with match size 1 module )

Engine upgrade feels a bit weird as level 1 got us +3 sections, level 3 +9 sections, and level 3 +9 sections again. Furthermore, we cannot customize them as already mentionned.

I would suggest to let us have 3 sections at start, then +4 at level 1, +8 at level 2 and +12 at level 3, for a total of 27, like today.

In addition, as already suggested, it would be great to be able to shape the drill ship as we want, placing sections and joints as we want.
