Will there be more types of ships in the future and more ships like light cruisers, heavy cruisers, battleships and such? Because this would open up more varied tactics.

You are right, it would be really cool to have more ship classes. The major problem is time. Adding new ship classes would be quiet some task and time hasn't been my friend lately. Another, probably more troublesome problem, is that Space Borders isn't doing so well. In the year it has been out now, it didn't even cover the expenses and believe me, they were relatively low! I'm really sorry that I have to answer your question like this, but a lot actually depends on these problems. As much as I enjoy working on Space Borders, I need to make a living and the cold reality is that Space Borders isn't going to help me much there. Currently I'm trying to focus on things that can improve the game but don't require too much time to make, but I will still try to make one new ship class. If you had to choose one, what would it be?

Does that mean you have to stop working on Space Borders?

Well damn that sucks bro. Hopefully you will be able to work on it more soon. This game is fun even for how small it is!
I'd say a new ship would be a cross between the Cerberus and a tactical fighter. Not as big as the capital ship but bigger than the tactical fighter. Has a decent amount of armor and can basically use this fighter/capital ship for hit and run tactics.
Not used like the lone tactical fighter from the mothership. Used like any other bigger ship. Has a pair of cannons like a fighter but has either 2 or 3 pivoting missile turrets to do harass damage.

Sorry to hear it isnt doing well. I thought it would be doing good because its a great game. Probably add a type of cruiser. Not sure which though. Possibly having a couple of laser turret for intercepting the little purple things and 2 other turrets for dishing damage out.

Well, I will continue working on it, but I just can't put the same amount of time into it anymore. Hopefully the game will do a little better in the future and who knows, maybe in time there can be a sequel. @derezz Ok, I believe I understand what you mean. You want something that is fast, powerful (not as powerful as capital ships), which can shortly overwhelm the enemy with fast missile attacks. I believe this would be awesome, if this ship would have to rearm after it has quickly fired a barrage of missiles. @joe A ship that was larger than the usual support ships but slightly slower than the capital ships? This would be a really good idea since there is nothing in this class yet. Up to this point, only the aliens have Corvettes.

Yea have to dock next to the mothership for a few seconds or minutes to re-arm and then go out and do some more damage. The cannons could stay infinite ammo that way its not completely helpless when flying around or flying back to the mothership.

Also maybe a variant of the mothership? Suited for a different role with some minor modifications allowed? Could be something for a future update with a new version or new missions or something?!

A ship sized between the cerberus and the smaller support ship with 2 turrets would be good. Kind of in the middle with maybe 4 turrets.

Idea, I know you say in-app-purchases would make it too easy for some. But it might make more money for you. Possibly limit the cost/benefit ratio. Such as less in game credits per dollar etc. just enough to help out in a rough spot. Or to help with cost of overly priced ships, the Aegaeon comes to mind
