Well the point of the battlemoon was to make a capital ship that was truely CAPITAL I mean yeah Super Monitors and Super Dreadnoughts are big and expensive but once you have a few hundred SDs it's hard to think of them as "Capital" anymore.

So I designed a "Flag Monitor" which is 10,000 ktons but I decided after a bit that I wanted a truely epic and expensive ship so I created the "Mothership" which is 15 mt and the Battlemoon which is 25mt.

I added two new ship sizes because I noticed the AI tends to build 1 or 2 classes smaller then the biggest ship so I figured i might actually get them to crank out some ships bigger then SDs.

I did take over the AI though and put 5 battlemoons under construction for them before returning control to them
