Default Re: PBW Lg ship vs. Sm. ship

PvK:

I thought of maintenance, too. I've not only increased the basic costs of large hulls, I've added maintenance modifiers to large hulls to increase even the cost of the components. And given some of the smallest hulls a maintenance cut. This makes it possible to have far more tonnage in small ships vs. large. Too bad you cannot teach the AI to use these sorts of advantages.

But as I was saying and forgot to finish in the previous post... if detection were revamped to have range effects and also take the ship size into account then smaller ships would start to have usefulness for 'special' missions where stealth is important.
