Default Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

What would be a good system is where you start with several sizes of ships, each with strengths and weaknesses, and ship construction improves all of them. Newer ships should be better, but they do not have to be unilaterally bigger.

The problem with the APB comparison is that APBs have alternatives. You can research torpedos, MBs, PPBs, etc. But with ships, there is only a single tech area. It is entirely linear and boring by comparison.
