Finalizing Neostandard
We should probably try to reach a consensus on the Neostandard for SE5 before too much more time passes. Would this be an acceptable set to most?
This would add 6 unique hulls to the stock set. Keep in mind that the stock game already has a lot of "neostandard" type models called for, but not in general use. They add about 15 extra possible models shipset authors can already add to their sets and see used in the stock game. This means that shipset authors essentially have a possible 21 extra models to make above the basic list for stock se5.
Warships
+ Corvette/Scout (sub-frigate sized ship, name up in the air)
+ Juggernaut (between dreadnought and baseship)
+ Worldship (generally spheroid, for the death stars et all)
Baseship is already called for by stock, but not used. A note about this would be good.
Carriers
Light and Heavy already called for by stock, so I don't think we really need any more.
Civilian Ships
+ Resource Ship (not positive on this one's general utility, but many seem to like it)
Small/Large freighters already called for by stock.
Bases
+ Battle Station (base to go between space station and starbase, as in all previous SE versions)
Units
+ Infantry (non-mechanized troop unit)
Small/Medium/Large unit versions of all units are already called for as primary models/layouts, though generally not used in stock shipsets, so we don't need to include those as part of the neostandard. A note about them would suffice.
