Why couldn't a "ship size option" be included like it was in SE3 ?
IIRC what we have now are the standard ship sizes of SE3, but people I talked to preferred the "enlarged" hulls, some (me
) even the used the "massive" size most times ..
Ok,ok, I could change it in VehicleSize.txt, but wouldn't it be nice to have this option back ?
But - don't make the "jumps" bigger from class to class .. that shurely wouldn't help with the escort
.. a fixed %-age would do - and maybe someone could come up with something more interesting ??
How big must an escort be?
Bridge 10kt
Life Supp. 10kt
Crew Quart. 10kt
6 Engines 60kt
Shields/Armor 40kt
Multiplex T. 10kt
Sensors 10kt
ECM 10kt
Point Def. 20kt
Weap/Cargo/etc. 30kt
------
210kt (or 140%)
Point Def. could be left out ... what makes it 190kt (127%)
One problem, though - the small transport even now carries too much pop, so either pop must use 10x the space, or some components must be altered ..
Just my 0,02 EUR of thoughts, though.
