Default Re: Making Torpedos Better and Small Ships Tougher

I added a special shield mount for small ships. Smaller component for nearly the same amount of shield points. I figure smaller surface area would allow for overlapping shield generators.

Seems to work. Plus with the extra defense bonus for smaller ships, and quicker to build, you can have lots of cheap ships with decent shields use swarm tactics. Like uber-fighters only without that pesky PD weakness.
