Cruiser Command

I agree. It is a bit annoying trying to direct new recruits to the hangars, and simple steps like that would help a lot.

What about this?

"Chomping" asteroid cooldown is no longer effective
Upgrade small ship hull now gives + 100 HP to Chomper per upgrade
Chomper now has its own upgrade page, including 2 upgrades
Gravitic Pulse - increases AoE of Magnetic Pull by 75% (could be scaled back if necessary)
Core ...

Maybe just add more levels onto each upgrade? Make weapons and shields upgrades go up to 10, with maybe a small increase in price. That would at least allow more specialization in the mid game to increase the variety of battle scenarios. Because the way it is now, everyone turtles up just to max out ...

Chomper needs some revamp, perhaps it doesn't need to stand still to eat ships / asteroids so its mobility is less trashy.

I don't know...I don't think that would really help considering the gravity-like ability is much better in most circumstances. I guess it would be a little better for mining ...

I agree that most of the cons should stay there. However, this unit still is extremely limited compared to the default miner.

I just find its use extremely limited. You have to 1) get your navigator to stop the ship near an asteroid field and 2) buy the chomper 3) mine it out before your navigator ...

However, one of the problems with the chomper is knowing when you are supposed to get it. You already start with all 3 miners available, and most of the time it is a better to use miners than to lug over your BC to protect and mine efficiently with the chompers, unless there is some way to make them ...

I for one LOVE controlling the chomper. It's a fun ship to use, but right now I feel that it isn't as useful as it could be. I'll make pros and cons:

Pros

VERY fast mining time
more efficient while mining large clusters of asteroids than using a miner


Cons
You have to buy it (which takes ...
