Been a fair few times I've wished the foresight had been there to stay with just 3 or 4. That list would be the Sentinel for it's future EW gameplay, the MSR for all that it should be bringing, and a competent medium explorer such as the 400i (although I still consider this slot unresolved due to lack of gameplay). The Carrack would round it out, and that'd be done. All with livable interiors for players and/or NPC crew depending on how that shakes out.I did that too at one point; reduced down to nothing, restarted, committed to only having 3 ships, which, honestly, I still want, as I hate having an abundance of ships.
But here I am, back up to 15, and I keep thinking to myself that there's not anything in this current fleet I want to divest of.
I honestly think I just really enjoy "the fleet game", as it were. Planning, buying, revamping, changing direction, etc etc. it's fun.
But, honestly, is be pretty happy having a salvager, a fighter, a freighter, and a data-runner (or those last two as one - MSR, looking at you). With one of those being my "home", which means it has to have an interior I love.
This definitely would not cover everything I'm interested in, but would almost certainly fill the limited time available to play.
