Things with the game in Mobile: a new small capital ship required accessible only for mobile players

The OP deleted his post. So i'm now including it in full here so my post doesn't look silly:

I know adding a new ship to the game is not easy, but currently only two is buildable and both of them is an extreme challenge for mobile players. So maybe the best thing to fix this problem is adding a small capital ship aviable for players started the game in mobile.
I has an idea of a small capital ship, even smaller than the Goliath. I am playing only in mobile and I not really want to play with the game in PC. I got few weeks of premium and started manufacturing things for the Goliath, but it was too much. Many components are extremly hard to get in mobile(like the milanar data aggregator), I made almost nothing in few weeks.
So my suggestion is to add a capital ship even smaller than a Goliath, only aviable for accounts created in mobile. Building a capital ship currently is extremly hard, so my what I suggest?
1). Adding a new capital ship, aviable only for mobile players, what can be built in 3-5 months, the manufacturing starts from combat lvl 5, but with some changes:
- the building only requires around half of the materials required for a Goliath;
- replacing some components what is extremly hard to get or make in mobile;
- the ship will have pobably half of the armor, shield, energy capacity, but more speed(for example 50 m/s speed, 150 m/s turbo, turning slightly slower than a behemoth), 300-400cu cargo, 2 turrets, 1 large and one small port(or even 2 large ports), and enough grid power for at least 2 Capital Cannons(maybe more so the the ship can be equipped with at least one Capital Swarm Missile Launcher and with a Capital Cannon);
- ships can dock to it like to a Goliath;
- the lenght less than 100 meters;
- uses up only 5500cu cargo space in a station;
- it can be rebought for 250-300k credits even when the premium ended in the character
2). Adding new manufacturble components to the game for smaller ships, not just for this one
- a smaller(maybe 100mw) reactor requiring only half of the materials compared to the 200mw one;
- replacing the Milanar Master Computing System with something what not requires a Data Aggregator(maybe adding a new manufacturable component made from different core types and neural nodules to replace the Data Aggregator, and then this can be used to make the smaller computer system);
- a smaller engine(maybe?);
I think a ship like this can make the game for mobile players much better(because playing in mobile is challenging).
I think the ship is balanced enough with these stats, but of course maybe I am wrong.
But anyway, a new buildable capital ship is required, a new ship can change the game for mobile players and make it easier.

My reply starts here:

"Many components are extremly hard to get in mobile(like the milanar data aggregator), I made almost nothing in few weeks."

Data aggs are hard to get on pc as well. That is why the sell for 30-60 mill credits.

Adding a new capital ship, aviable only for mobile players

Why only mobile players? That is lame.

replacing some components what is extremly hard to get or make in mobile;

Plenty of mobile players already have capital ships. So i would say that problem might not be the platform.

the ship will have pobably half of the armor, shield, energy capacity, but more speed(for example 50 m/s speed, 150 m/s turbo, turning slightly slower than a behemoth),

Cap ships are slow with the exception of the terradon. What you are asking for should NOT have any shields.

d enough grid power for at least 2 Capital Cannons

29 grid power cell sounds about right.

it can be rebought for 250-300k credits even when the premium ended in the character

So to be clear you are asking for a capital ship without a prem sub? I'm not against it BUT as i said, it should not have shields. AND it should cost way more crystal than miner moth. About 600 would be right (20 crystal a day for a month can be earned. 30 a day if you have a lite sub).

- ships can dock to it like to a Goliath;

No. You want a mini capship, it can't have docking. Not for f2p.

replacing the Milanar Master Computing System with something what not requires a Data Aggregator

Oh come on now. Capital ships are supposed to be a grind. Something you work your ass off for. I also want to mention this: you can fly the Heavy Miner as a f2p already. Do you need a capship?

you are asking for a capship for free

You'd like something to work toward? Just grind for a Heavy Miner 'Moth.

There's your F2P capship right there! Let's look at how it compares to a capship:

• It has multiple turrets for friends!
• Lumbers like a cow!
• No shields but higher than average armour!
• You can't dock on it, but according to the backstory, the Goliath is the smallest capship with a dock anyway.
• 160cu of cargo space!

What more could you want as a F2P?

The OP removed his post. Look, just because I might disagree with something, doesn't mean a poster should remove something. Discourse is good for the universe.

+1 to new capship, -1 to mobile only/f2p only. The best aspect of the game is the attempt to offer an even ground for subbed players. Personally, i think it should be a bigger one, not smaller!
