Can you tell us something about weapons and defense against them. Do we have many different types of weapons which have to be countered by different shields , ECMs and armour? Or we hawe one or 2 weapons to choose from?
Are there any special weapons (bio weapons, engine disabling)...
Does the AI counter our ships designs (If we are producing misslile ships they construct ships packed with point defence lasers/guns.
Do ships have crew and what is effect of crew on gameplay?
Is it now possible to capture enemy ships?
Can the ships (ours, allied, enemy, neutral, pirate) randomly broke down and become floating hull? For someone to capture

Thanks in advance...

Good questions.

If DW considers gound troops as an infantry battalion the same as in real world terms, then I'd guess 300-1200 men in a Bn.

Troops units must have more men. I think that they are size of corps. Thats mean 30k or 50k men. Thus warships(even small) will be big and with large crew. Think about escort(smallest type ship) with few thausend crew.
This way battles and empires are more epic.
