Ship Tonnage? is there a max

[Jasonsty]

I been trying to create a mod with very large ships and some weird things happen.

Data vs in game
100mt = 35mt
250mt = 54mt
500mt = 42mt
750mt = 30mt
1000mt = 17mt
1500mt = 59mt
2000mt = 34mt

any incite will be helpful.

Max tonnag is 65,000 kt

Counted the actual number of components you can put in?
I think that's just a display conmfusion.

Check my Ultimate Vehicle Size Mod.

no, what he was seeing is the interger wrapping arround. after it counts passed 65K, it starts over.

Wow, who wants to build a ship that large?
It would take forever. Even with the hull price in zero, the components price would be stagering.
I don't even wanna think how many components can be put in it.....

And movement, 0.5 per turn?
The defense penalty would be so huge, that any weapon you fire from the other side of the battle map would have a 399% to hit.
What's the design name of this whale? "Battle-Planet", "Huge Battle-Planet with beautiful atmospheric light effects"?
You don't need combat sensors to hit that thing. Even if you put every single component that have a defense bonus in that monster you would still have a defense penalty of -100%.
How many facilities do you plan to build on this baby?
On the plus side, you don't need to worry no more about protecting your population. They can travel with you in your cargo hold....

I was planning to use components that were larger too. Everything you mentioned is editable. If I wanted the 2,000mt ship could have had a defensive bonus of 100%

I was trying to get the proper scale for battlespace(battletech). Will try it with 1/40 scale
