campaign balance

To balance ships for features they don't have, 
I'd (roughly) recalc for the ship sans the useless 
feature. 

For example, in convoy attack or planetary 
landing scenarios where the ships are pretty 
much defenseless (a couple of PDS), I ignore 
the cost of the transports when determining 
balance. 

That seems to work reasonably well. Just make 
sure the attributes you are referring to ARE 
actually useless. :)

ADS vehicle in DS2 when no enemy air shows 
up... it can be turned to anti infantry role!>
