Going back to one of my ideas, I think the tug boat idea would be kind of fun. You would assign ships to it like you would a transport, and then any orders given to the spire ship such as FDR mode would be given to the other ships.

Decrease Shield Bearers' health from 1280000 to 855000 and make their shield NOT shrink when they take damage.
They already don't shrink, iirc :)
set /A diff=10
if %diff%==max (
   set /A me=:)
) else (
   set /A me=SadPanda
)

Those look like regular ones. It's Spirecraft Shield Bearers that don't shrink (at least human ones don't, AI ones do).

... the minerals are not very rare at all, you can harvest from planets in supply(adjacent to your controlled worlds)...
I really hope I'm not the source of this common misconception. :-[

I mean, you're right, you can mine asteroids from planets in supply... But you can also mine them from planets out of supply.

...*beat*

Wait, what?!

Ha, that was exactly my reaction when I found out.

That Titanite way over there, on an otherwise useless planet, surrounded by other useless planets?  No need to pop any Command Stations, just keep your constructor and your engies alive long enough and you'll get your Mark V Jumpships.
