Thanks for the pointer to the hull size thread: good stuff. Derk
Groeneveld comment's re watching over systems with smaller vessels is
cruical as are David Griffin comments re small ships getting out of the
way. Interestingly, this matches with Age-of-sail uses of cruiser where
communication/travel seems very similar, as well as the "honourable"
tactic
of not firing on low-rate ships unless they're threatening you.
Whilst there appears to be an issue given the hull size costs, in that
bigger ships seem to pay less _proportionally_ per weapon system than
smaller ships*, there is also an issue with the weapons costs/damage
themselves: is there any other "stuff" on the comparative weapons costs,
especially as regards smaller ships?
*(e.g. assume a B3-2arc of 5 MASS and 15 points: the actual NPV cost for
being able to fit that weapon is 5 PLUS the 15 cost of weapon consuming
that space (20 pts)).
Have fun, Tim Bancroft
