Default Re: New Mod: The Art of War Mod

Pax: The reason that I like messing with the EPM is that it allows for a high amount of granularity. (is that even a word?) However, another way of (sorta) achieving what I'm looking for is to slowly decrease the efficiency of engines as hull size increases. For example, you have total engine tonnage that are always 10% of the total hull tonnage (I don't recall the actual #s off the top of my head). What if that % slowly increased with hull size? So that an Escort uses 10% for engines, but a Frigate uses 12%, and a destroyer uses 13%, etc. etc. etc. Even better would be to set it up based on tonnage increase, instead of class increase. Now, every time the hull size increases 100kt, the % needed for engines goes up 1%.

Does that make any sense? Of coarse, these numbers are just off the top of my head, atm...
