In which supplement can you build Capital ships? From one of those I've seen the biggest you can go is build a warhound.

We actually have a project on the drawing board for three hex cruiser class vessels, however that is not an immediate horizon project as we're already well involved in both the Night Brood revision/playtesting process, and the reworking of the Ship Design System as part of the 3rd ed. rulebook slated for release this year (and release it we will even if it winds up killing all of us).
What Callsign: Smurf has done here is create a family of Warhound class vessels all off of the same basic hull. He's a bit of the resident mad scientist when it comes to working the ship design rules as you've probably already noticed (and we encourage his madness accordingly)...
Glad you rediscovered your copy of SD:TNM and found us! We're also over on FaceBook, on Instagram, and Twitter every now and again, so we are a busy little trio of madmen here at Metal Express, and we are glad to see old hands and newbies alike coming into the fold. Welcome to the Interstellar Flying Circus, Callsign: Silent D!

So besides 3rd Ed. (any tentative release date?) what else can we except this year?? Also need eyes to read things over pm me...

I found it easier to build basic frame with added on bits.
Can't say I was the one who thought of this: Spirit Rider I, II, III, IV, etc.
I heard of the rumour of Capital Ships but I am not sure what they would bring to the game (bigger guns and more hit boxes?). What I fear is bigger guns. This could be going down the route of carrier groups. However, a carrier is sort of a big target and needs its escort to protect it. Despite the parallel with space ships and ships the glaring problem is that in space you cannot have submarines... So I am glad the 3 hex ships have been shelved.

The whole I, II, III, etc. predated Metal Express by a good many years. It is more or less a legit way of differentiating between refits, however I am the guilty party who concocted House specific refits adding the designations such as HCR (House Colos Refit), QVP, etc.
And Cruiser class three hex beasties have not been shelved, but merely delayed until we first get things done first. Keep in mind that bigger guns doesn't automatically translate into a cruiser class vessel being an unbeatable opponent. Target Speed Restriction will apply to cruiser class weaponry. They're also slower than escorts as a rule, and understandably less maneuverable. Further, gods help them if the Night Brood are involved, as they will invariably bring a passle of Worm Pods in tow.
As for submarines, don't be so sure. You're dealing with a huge fan of Space Battleship Yamato, and the concept of the "hyperspace submarine" dates back to the 1970s within the wargaming community thanks to the Stardate 3000 ship minis produced by Valiant Enterprises beginning around 1976-77. The trick is coming up with a viable and not overly complex set of rules to cover the fact that they are (1) operating "under the waves" and (2) cannot be readily "seen"/detected (and therefore should be "invisible" in a practical sense to an opposing player until it is).
