Its a good thing I'm good at math and mental gymnastics.
Lucretius, you have the basic idea but siege class ships replace LC and C. Capitol ships are BC, BB, DN.
Siege chasis are cheap, easy to hit, terrible offense*,and their siege weapons occupy most of their available tonnage with little structure. Siege ships will be slightly weaker than superiority ships even though they are bigger. Thus, giving a ship orders to attack the weakest ships will make them target the siege ships over the superiority ships.
*Because of the innate area-effect of siege weaponry, they always hit. Thus negating the siege-class' useless offense. All other weapons except missiles are useless.
Things are balancing out pretty well so far. I've even implemented a quasi-newtonian propulsion system.
Aside from planning all this, I'm trying to figure out what to name this mod.
