Some features that I believe must be added as soon as possible in order to make the game more forgiving and welcoming for newcomers, more bearable for long-term free players, and richer for any old player.

|-|"RNG issue"=
KC is not an RNG-based game and I don't think that RNG is an issue right now in this game, but I think that some things can be improved:
*Drops :
**The drop system does not need anything more, but maybe the idea of a "mercy drop", in order to make doing 435 runs for one particular ship less likely.
**An idea would be to add a "drop pool", where you have all the droppable ships on a given map in it, and so when you drop a certain ship from this pool, her drop rate will decrease, making less likely to have to make a billion runs for any given ship (but still possible). Also, when all the ships of the pool have been dropped at least once, the pool rates reset.
*Routing :
**Since phase 2, there are less to no "non-sense" off-routing, so on almost any map, it's possible to have 1 route or multiple almost identical routes 100% of the time.
**I think it could be nice to have some maps where at some points you have random chances to follow different paths, obliging you to choose fleets suited for any of those situations.
