Finalizing Neostandard

Mainly because size is all relative. You only get one "biggest ship hull", and the final number of ship hulls is the same.

It all comes down to the popularity of the name itself.
And we all like our SE3/4 battlecruisers.

There is more to it than that; a "battle cruiser" will tend to look like a cruiser, and a "juggernaut" will tend to look like a dreadnought. Where the hull fits in the size line matters as far as what the models end up looking like.

Fyron:
Maybe you could post the entire string of shipnames according to tonnage? I kind of lost track...

A BC is a Battleship with less armor. Which means its faster than BB's and as fast/armored as a CA.

In most SE4 shipsets, the battle cruiser tends to look like a big cruiser, rather than a small battleship.

True

I was just stating that historically a BC was bascially armored like a cruiser, faster than a BB, but had BB size guns.

I set the typical alternate for the Battle Cruiser to be Battleship instead of Cruiser. Sound good? Maybe it will encourage people to make it more Battleship like.

That just made me laugh - a cruiser armed with BB guns!
