Actually, this thread is a more appropriate place for it then Slick's ankle-biter thread [since] it relates directly to your mod and not his original idea.

Yes, but if it's left there, I think my case has been 100% successfully made, so I can let it die. I'd rather not see it resurrected here, though.

Great job! I will definitely find time to check this one out.

edit: I am amazed at how fast you decided on parameters and pumped this mod out.

Pax, IMO you need to change the description of the TKP, as its description supports my interpretation and not yours. That will eliminate the possibility of any dispute, and is not hard to do.

I laid out an explicit ground rule int eh first post not to bring that discussion here. You disagree with me -- with an inexplicable degree of vehemence for such a minor topic -- but I believe I have already made my case with 100% success; if you choose to ignore the salient points, that is your business.

Leave that point out of this thread, please.

I did not bring the discussion here, I just made a suggestion for the mod. Drastic changes to the fucntionality of a weapon require changes to their description. If you were to make PPBs skip all shields, then it would make sense to update their description. A simple "bypasses shielding" in the description of the TKP would suffice.

That was the easy part, actually. Pick a series of hull sizes, decide on some rules for how ECM is determined by hull, and just ... run the numbers.

Having played SFB (tabletop, not computer), and owning supplements giving the details on the navies of no less than ... oh, I'd say, a dozen races at least ... gives me a great wealth of ideas to draw on for ship classes. The "Fast ___" ships were directly "yoinked" from SFB, in fact, where there are indeed fast couriers, fast cruisers, and fast carriers. I simply swapped "cruiser" for "Frigate".

[1] Bases (at least at level 1) don't seem to appear in the chassis choice menu.

[2] A.I. don't seem to know how to build colonizers.

Nice job with the other stuff, tho.
