Default Re: Tricks to reducing micromanagement in SE4

Finding hull strength is pretty easy, actually.

Most components have strength = size, so:

- Start with the size. EG: BattleCruisers have 600 hitpoints as a first approximation.
- Add 60 hitpoints for the engines.
- Add (armor hitpoints)-10 for every armor component.

Not much to it in the unmodded game.
