What would you prefer:
Realistic fighters/ships size
Realistic speed
???

Are you suggesting that SS isnt realistic? [;)]
Milo has said that ships are about 3x their 'real' size because otherwise you'd just be shooting at dots all day, and where's the fun in that?
As far as speed, well, if milo bumped up accel then speeds would go up and all it would mean is that engagements would go by even faster. As it stands many fighter closing duels are quite fast and furious as it is, with closing speeds approaching 3km/s sometimes.

Personally I like things mostly as they are, as far as ship speed/size.

Better yet:

Realistic design concideration

I agree with Phoenix and Burzmali! Nothing should change in SS as far as realism, speed and size are concerned.
This game is not Harpoon or Lock on. It is a very intuitive game and it should remain that![:-]

On the other hand, ship design should indeed be revised, specially point defense, as all of Milo's Capital ships lack defense from below. There is not one single one that has a PDB below. [:-]

Overall, SS is a great game and I would rather see variety than anything else.
I'd rather see improvement of MP problems, adding more objects such as Battleships, space docks, etc, than improvements on "realism", wich is always a difficult topic to discuss on this sort of game...

or is he talking about making a mod of his own?

No, he is talking about improvements that should be added/made to Starshatter. [8D]

A space dock would be nice. A place to repair damage to one's ship. No Captian would go into battle with a ship over 80% damaged. Unless he has a death wish.
