This forum is about what ships you think are missing.
In my opinion, things like Voinian ships smaller than the Frigate and Zachit warships don't fit, but I think the following would go well:
ZIRA A larger, rarer version of the Zidara. Carries 2 Zidagar Fighters, and has shields and dispersal rockets, and well as a SAD launcher and 10 modules. It isn't quite as big as the Crescent Warship. Costs 6 million credits.
IGARA A smaller version of the Igazra. Capable of super fast SAE launches - great at long range, lacking in close range due to minimal firepower. Armed with pursuit missiles as well. Not slow - designed to be able to run from larger targets. Costs 7 million credits.
HEAVY AZDARA Similar to the Azdara in size and specifications, but slower. Still as fight as most fighters and with great turning, it has more firepower and is at least as deadly. The shields are higher, with a tiny armour rating, and a shield recharge that, although isn't as fast as the Azdara, stills means it is deadly. Costs 2m credits
ZIDAGAR ARADA ........... This is going to cause a lot of debate. Should they have an Arada? Although I believe the Igadzra shouldn't have a fighter, the Zidagar should have an Arada. It should have a high speed, shielding and swivel phase cannons, as well as a Phased Beamer or two. It shouldn't have SADs or dispersals rockets (or pursuit missiles) as that makes it too much like other customised Aradas.

Hmm. Those are some good ideas. Maybe if any developer who has the time or the inclinitation to should make a plug with those?
------------------ Diddly, "Well, we could grind our enemies into powder, but gosh, we did that yesterday."
I will once I've got a good 3D graphics program. Any suggestions?
What color would a Zidagar Arada be? It would be easy enough to make, just swap the colors and standard outfits. I'd do it right now and make you a simple plug-in, but I'm away from my Mac this week.

Well Strata is good, so's Mechanisto. Beyond the free ones, I have no clue.
Oh and ships I think should be in the game are:
The Renegade Freight-Helian: A weapons upgraded freight-courier for the renegades. I mean there are no renegade ships that can carry all the cargo they steal.
How about a Human Arada? Voinian Arada? that'd be pretty cool. The Human Arada would have Blaze cannons and missle and rocket launchers while the Voinian may have heavy armour and Neutron cannons.

Zira: Why, exactly?
Igara: It's called the Igadzra Arada
Heavy Azdara: This one's called the Azdgari Arada
Zidagar Arada: Go download Advance and shut up.

Goomeister: good call, good call, good call, and that would be a good idea :). Does that one add an Igadzra fighter as well? If so that would be all I think is needed. Otherwise just some improvements to ships to make things harder: Kraits with 1 needle missile, crescent fighters with 1 dispersal rocket or 1 defense pod, more speed for the turncoat and the ability to sell its krait bay, improvements to the Voinian fighters and all the things done by EVO Fixer.

How about giving some ships to the Strandless. Obviously some of them a re organized enough to have their own ships. Maybe a special fighter or Arada variant to combat renegades. Regular Crescent fighters stink.
------------------ All your base are belong to us.
Hmm that's a plan! A Strandless Arada - colour white? Appearing in Militia form amongst the Crescent Fighters and making the Strandless a more fearsome bunch, more like the Zachit! Maybe it could be done alongside adding missions for the South Tip Renegades and the Strandless! I like it :).
I'm sorry, but everyone is missing the poor emalghia! They are crushed at every turn, and their ships aren't worth squat! They definitely need a ship capable of at least taking down a vonian frigate!

They should upgrade their cannons to Disco Machine Guns!
Seriously though, what about giving them a new ship with technology borrowed from their friends, the UE? It could even be an Emalgha Warship, just with better engines and shields and equipped with blaze turrets and hunter missiles. Also, I think they should be seen in captured Voinian ships once in a while, like the Hinwar use.
I still like the Zidagar Arada idea, as it would give the Zidagar three unique ship classes like the other Strands. But I'm wary of giving each Strand a direct counterpart to the others' ships because it might destroy their indviduality. The point of the Strands is that they are somehow related, as indicated by the fact that their names all use the same set of letters (a set which also spells "Gadzair"), but they are also unique, and don't just fly the same ships in different colors.
The Strands don't have enough ships, in my opinion.
A Zidagar fleet is just Zidaras. They need another ship.

and Zidagar Fighters
As fighters, but not as actual ships themselves.

Au contraire, Zidagar Fighters often appear as independent ships, as opposed to being launched from a Zidara. They patrol many Zidagar systems.
The systems they patrol in rarely are attacked.
They're just there for show.
And you must admit, EVO would be cooler with more ships...
How about being able to buy a Shuttle with 3 blaze cannons already at a discount price? - That sort of thing.

The "Override Civilisations" chapter of the EVO Documentation states that the Strands and the Strandless are different nations of a single race. My guess is that the dead planet Gadzair that Council Station orbits was their homeworld until it was destroyed by their civil war.
