Neo Standard for SE V?

[Atrocities]

After working on two separate ship sets I have begun to wonder how to add new ships for use with SE V. Right now the current ship list is rather limited:

Frigate
Destroyer
Light Cruiser
Cruiser
Battleship
Dreadnought

It has a listing for Baseship but uses the Starbase image.

Compare SE V's basic ship package with that of SE IV and you can see that we are missing many ships and at least one base.

I was wondering if any one has put in thought into how to expand the existing ship sets for stock SE V? I know that the order of how images appear in the Shipset and Vehicle Main Texture files has to be correctly ordered or ships won't match up.

I would like to add more ships to the two sets I have just released, but simply don't know how to go about getting SE V to use them without errors.

So any help or guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering if there is really a need. We can make hull sizes increase in kt in SE5, so there is perhaps not so much need for more intermediate hulls as there was in SE4 (such as heavy destroyer).

I guess your right and all, but I think people will want a larger variety of ships to choose from. Given the shier number of ships for say Star Trek, I am certain more ships will be wanted in time.

People are definitely going to want worldships.

I mean everyone loves a Death Star, right?

Well, at its most basic, you would want NS Se5 >= SE4 stock.

I strongly agree with with SJ and with Fyron but less so. No I'm not cracking a joke this time Fyron. I agree that the number of ships should be at or above Stock SE4 but more than that is not really needed as Fyron pointed out. Now my personally take on what would be nice. For the SFTC and Lite I use over 60 hull sizes (inclusive). I will be working on condensing the total number using an SE5 approach for the Lite. So until I finish I can't say for sure how many images would be "optimal" for it. However, I can't condense the Full version and for it I would like to see:

8 Warships, 4 Carriers, 8 Freighters, 5 Bases, 4 Fighters, and 4 Small Craft.

Small craft are like ST shuttles and such so they should look markedly different from Fighters. I could settle with 7 Freighters instead of 8. And before you freak out at the numbers remember this is only my wish list. I'm not expecting all of the above. Just more than we have now.
