Specialized Ship Designs

[Ed Kolis]

I can't tell whether you're talking about ship designs or hulls... one is made in the game while the other is made by editing VehicleSize.txt

Hmmm - let's see ... I mentioned giving a ship a size of 350. That's a non-standard size, and ... I mentioned its having its own bitmap, so ... I must be talking about editing the VehicleSize.txt not to mention making/stealing new bitmaps.

Looks like I need to: 1) make sure I have my 2nd cuppa and keep both hands on the keyboard before typing notes.

Sorry about the confusion.

Assuming Elowan made a mistake indeed and we are talking about more or less standard SE, then yes, specialised ships are standard practice. SE is not about individual ships but about fleets. Every single ship is fast to build (relatively to the span of the game) and utterly dispensiable. There are no all-to-powerfull Enterprises saving Milky Way from evil Mars bars.

I was talking about specialized hull designs. I like to have a few specialized ships and consequently I have to muck with the VehicleSizes.txt and the tech tree.

Color me crazy. Now ... what color would that be?
