Default Is it Possible

I would like to know if it is possible to create ship sizes that are race specific. I would like to add some new ship sizes but don't want to rework every race to do it.

So i short can it be done
How do you do it

Evader - it has been awhile since I modded the VehicleSize.txt file, but I believe you can do this by setting a tech requiremnet for those race specific vehicles. Then in each unique tech area file create a tech area for each specific race. Then you can limit access to the techs by making unique racial traits for each particular race/shipline. Hmm...does this make sense?

Tampa is right.
You can set a tech requirement and assign it a race trait cost of 0 then have that race use the race trait.

That definately works, we are doing the same thing in the Bab5 Mod to limit certain ship types to certain races (by making a racial trait as a requirement).
