- Drop pod : missed the edit, I'll go back for it.

- Heavy Fighter : Spotted it, thanks. I've got all the P&N sizes into the table now, maybe I'll get time to upload it tonight.

I did note that others were mentioning "infantry", and having a handweapons component.
IMO, there should be an infantry component, which you put in drop pods or landing craft of some sort.

Oh I see what you mean... Isn't that kind of what we have now, with the troop transport carrying the troop units? I like the idea of an infantry unit which can be armed with hand weapons - it would be very useful for primitive mods. (Design an infantry unit with the latest in "pointy stick" technology=-)

QUOTE:
I suggest we forget about using the terminology of any one mod .... "Small"/"Medium"/"Large"/"Heavy"/"Massive"

This makes good sense for units, transports, carriers etc. I think we might need to include "tiny" on that list as well in case ppl decide to go smaller.

What about warships? Is a Corvette a small frigate or a large escort? There will need to be some exceptions to the rule. For example I think I prefer "infantry" to "tiny troop".

"Large BaseShip","Heavy BaseShip","Massive BaseShip" for the DeathStar sizes.
Battlemoons could use "Massive BaseShip"

okaaaay... So Devnull's super monitor would be a large baseship... yeah, that all makes sense. Good thinking. Any other modders in ageement with all this? Andres, what do you think?
