Ranked choice voting is fully supported and has been for ages. It's just rarely used because of unfamiliarity, basically.
Not replace, but supplement - it was barely suited for fleet support during the 4 years war and now it'd have to come up against ships designed the generation after/with its lessons in mind. It can still do support duties, but not at the frontier and certainly not combat support.
Splitting the difference defeats the point of having a vote for themes, and is likely to result in a less cohesive final design.
Yeah, basically. Like if the alternative options are bad enough and the cargo is big enough, I could theoretically be convinced, but barring extreme fringe cases there's just not enough marginal benefit from adding more; we've already got dramatically more cargo space than anything short of the Archer's external pod.
nope im not voting for multiple themes and no one else should do so: This should just be vote for the theme you want in the ship.
Wrong, the extra cargo can be used for more high end stuff from the core! Then the federation can unload some of it take on wathever is produced locally and move on until all high end stuff is gone before bringing in the stuff from the colonies back to the core!
I mean, we're literally told that module options will be prioritised based on overall popularity. Given they already overlap in one field (cargo) it's also likely that we'll be able to get some decent synergy out of modiles from either option
