I LIKE the new way of doing ship sizes. There is less waste. Your old ships can be upgraded to something useful. Besides the obvious increase in tonnage, destroyers can eventually use Large mounts, and cruisers eventually use Heavy mounts. Keep in mind the extra engines allowed for smaller ships. I think they maneuver better, too (but I might be imagining that). Plus, a little research to get more tonnage-efficient crew quarters and life support makes even more tonnage available for weapons, etc. Those old destroyers lying around can become a fearsome (and hard-to-hit) force. If nothing else, they make better support ships than they did in SEIV.
But what about upgrading? I mean do you really believe you can take a 100 ton anything, and upgrade it to a 125 ton anything? I know reality in a space game and all...I guess one could look at it in terms of miniaturization, better materials, and such.

*tries to think of a SE4 feature that was taken out*

I thought Multiplex Tracking wasnt included, but I found a reference in the Main Strings data file. Is this just dead code from SEIV?
