Default Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent

Quick question, were the Scout, Escort, and Frigate hulls developed after the other hulls were finalized?

I graphed the Offense Bonus, and Defense Bonus vs. displacement (KT) and noticed those three break each curves mostly logarithmic nature. From what it looks like and from the descriptions in the mod, Off+ and Def+ are inversely proportional to displacement and proportional to movement.

However, the inconsistencies include the Scout and Frigates having equal Def+. I assume this is a result of the Frigate's top movement of 18. However, the Frigate's Def+ still seems too high. Also, the Escort's high Off+ doesn't fit inverse proportionality of Off+ to displacement. With Quantum Engines, both the Scout and Escort class hulls have max movements of 15, yet the larger Escort has a better Off+.
