A skirmish with my new CVL in today's latest test game.
Erik, in these pictures I am noticing that there are class types, IE FFL - (Corvette) and CVL- (Light Carrier). Is this an in game thing or just a personal naming thing?

Check out the ship type. It is a Destroyer, so almost certainly this is just Erik's personal naming system.
I do the same sort of system myself - DDs, CLs, CAs, BBs etc.

now that we can mod up to 23 or so different ship sets for use between the races, will the existing races get new models? or is that just for the benefit of the modders?

Any chance we get a real map size slider, that is.. MAP SIZE, as opposed to MAP DENSITY?
I really would like some huge games, but the fact that even the simpliest engines can cross 1/3 of the galaxy kinda takes my enthusiasm away. I would not mind if the map could be scaled 10 times this big, with systems being much farther apart, forcing you to take tankers with you early game even to reach some neighboring systems.

Questions:
1-How lost fighters/bombers are going to be replaced?
2-Will we be able to place passenger modules on a military ship and direct, a bit, migration (do our own state controlled migration)?

Just booted this game up again last night to play another map, looks like I should hold off a bit and wait for this expansion.

I notice that pirates and monsters can both be set to "none" now. Maybe that was already in a recent patch? I haven't played in a few months. Anyway, that's good news, if it's true.
On pirates: any change in the way they acquire tech? I dimly recall that they always have the same tech our small ships have. Has that changed?
That pic makes me think of Shodan as well.
