You need hull sizes like Juggernaut to provide a continuity between a baseship (somewhat larger than a dread) and a worldship (absolutely enormous).

I second the battlecruiser and I think another type of colony ship might be a good idea.

Aww, nobody likes Escort.

Eh. Corvette does sound neater anyway, even if it doesn't maintain continueity.

Everything matters; there is only different levels of relavency.

Vote: Large colony ship or resource ship?

I think only one mod, maybe 2, actually used the SE4 resource ship. It didn't seem to have much utility.

Also, should we specify that the small fighter should be interceptor-like, and the large fighter should be bomber-like? The regular fighter would be something in-between. This would create a bit more uniformity, and would provide the opportunity for modders to have different fighter hull types without needing to specify extra models that aren't part of the neostandard.

Why have resource ships, when you have freighters?

I vote large colony ship. I guess Kana's right, freighters are useful as resource ships, but it would be nice to have another size of colony ship.

I vote Corvette. An Escort is more of a type of duty than a class of ship.
