Hello, I have a question: are there any plans long-term wise, to one day for we to design submarines, aircraft carriers, and even merchant ships? The Merchant ships are already implemented but are designed by the AI. What about more custom designs, like cheaper and faster to build, or is capable of carrying more cargo? About the submarines, you mention that they are going to be implemented, yet more as a "special tool" rather than proper ships. Why not add the capability for one to design the submarines?
And finally, the matter of the aircraft carriers. I've already played it a few times the game, and that helped me realize truly how much of a changer the introduction of these types of vessels to naval warfare. Battleships are cool and all, yet now if given the chance, I would build the entire navy of the nation I'm playing around with the aircraft carriers. They now feel way more useful and attractive, once I realistically tested ship vs ship combat.
Perhaps other people already asked for this, yet there is no problem confirming my doubts. I hope you find these inquiries interesting.
