New Mod - "Economies of Scale"

[Suicide Junkie]

Mothballing lots of small ships would not be abusive, since you can build them extremely fast anyways.

Large ships are for long term peacetime buildup, but only good if you finish them before they're needed.

Medium sized ships give you the middle ground and can be your insurance while starting on the bigger ones.

actually in RW it is rather expensive to bring in "reserved" military equipment sometimes - or so i hear. makes sense game-wise too, to not make things too abusive.
