Default Re: Narf\'s Mod: Almost done shredding the Facility.txt. Basic stuff only.

Now wait... did you say the size of your ships increases by 10% per level, you have 200 hulls, and you're using engine mounts?!?

I don't thinkn that will work with SE4... for one thing, your largest ship will be 173 million times the size of your smallest, and SE4 only allows a range of 1-65535 kT; for another, to use engine mounts, your largest ship must be no more than 100 times the size of the smallest, because you can't have fractions of a percent in mount sizes, and if you make the larger ships use percents greater than 100, then people will just use the unmounted engines

Are you sure you didn't mean 20 levels of ships (6.1x factor between largest and smallest), or 1% increase per level (7.2x factor)? Maybe I read your post wrong... In any event, both those ratios are smaller than SE4's baseship/escort ration of 10, and isn't the purpose of this mod to make technology and strategies MORE specialized, so shouldn't the ratio be as large as possible so you can have one UberDoomNaught versus 10,000 MiniPeashooterGnats?
