There should be a movement bonus as large as the difficulty to hit on the smaller ships, that way it would be more realistic, varied, and fun...
Oh wait, I almost forgot how boring it is to run after a darn colony ship... But now it would be much slower ;-)
And don't even try to ram my escorts with your dreadnoughts, you must bring your own... (or have longer range missiles ;-)
I know there's a way to edit those stats in game, how do we do that?
You will have to wait for the full game to edit the vehiclesize.txt file. But yes, you can give smaller ships a movement bonus if you want. Realize that colony ships are only 300kt in the current Version. They are the same size as destroyers. It would make a lot of sense to increase their size, and increase the size of a colony module proportionally. Founding a colony is a big project, and ought to require a lot of resources.
Ideally, we'd have a TURN allowance as well as a move allowance. This combined with weapon firing arcs would make the difference between large and small ships very noticeable. Maybe in SE V we can have that.
