Currently, ships are just an aesthetic part of the game denoting one's achievements and/or luck with RNG. IMO with the availability of the ship bank, ships should be used to some effect on the game. Whilst maybe not ship to ship warfare (which would be awesome =]), I'm just throwing out the suggestion that maybe if certain ship types are used during a NF strike for example, it could mean a buff for the NF fireteam or something. - think of orbital bombardment of a target on a smaller scale; ie. ships strafing the strike zone softening up the enemy or granting a boon to the assault team. It would make ship selection and collections relevant. That's just my two cents worth. Thanks for reading. =] Stay Frosty Guardians!!
