Actually, how about we just run 2.4.2 for say 2-3 more turns, and anyone who has tech for carriers or stealth or scattering armor who want to keep that tech, can just build some engineless escorts as examples during this time, and then analyze them when we upgrade to 2.5.1.

This is a cheap way to get what is about to be something the other players will need to research, which I would say more than makes up for the inconvenience of building yourself some cheap examples.

And, it's a lot less headache for me than having to fork the Version, and less headache for PBW administrators, who have a general policy of trying to limit mods to one Version on PBW at a time.

Would that be ok with you, Imperator Fryon?
