For instance if you wanted to customize a ship specifically for boarding actions you could apply most of your crew skills towards Ratings and then tack on the Adeptus Astartes favor for extra punch in your boarding actions. crew resistance to mutiny, boarding efficiency, repair efficiency, etc, on top of including Faction favors like Herodotus mentioned. Naming ships, watching it rank up as you invested points into certain aspects of it, i.e. Ship customization was the best part of it. The first game was amazing to me, and most of my hours were spent in the Skirmish mode where you could start off with small ships and slowly progress (grind) to larger and more powerful ships, on top of having a decent sized fleet. I cancelled my pre-order for this game due to them removing individual ship customization and such. The empty feel to the second's campaigns are the biggest let down among many let downs so you might be hard pressed to even finish even one campaign. The thing is, failing missions can lead to interesting story changes as well. Personally I prefer the first, but the replay value is low-to-none if you accomplish all missions. You can play all 12 factions in skirmish, but your admiral does not advance in rank as it is focused on MP leaderboards - a very big fail! All ship actions must be initiated by players (no autocast) and can only be used three times each. Ships ARE NOT customisable at all, and so the player has little to no personal investment. Set in the 13th Crusade so cut scenes are good. Campaign is more open, but you do still have to accomplish tasks, and so to a degree is not replayable. All ships actions can be set to Autocast, which means the captain of each ship can send say a plasma bomb or launch fighters at their discretion - less micromanagement. Ships are all completely customisable, including Favours, which allows you to choose who you wish your ship to ally with (Astartes, Mechanicus, Navy.etc.) which all give different benefits. First is a great game, where you follow a scripted Campaign in the 12th Crusade.
