Hello.
Can anyone tell me do i really nead small, medium and large freighters???
I mean REALLY need, not recquired by game engine...
So far i can't see any profit in small and medium freighters, because if i want them to to have any desent stats (Hyper speed, shields etc) the all mast have a set of shared components. So after all i have on my hands 3 types of freighters, wile small and medium types maintenance cost don't much cheaper than maintenance of large freighter, but their cargo capacity is greatly lower then of big ones.
So now I made two copies of big freighter design and marked them as medium and small ones.
Do i face here a bankruptcy or did i take right course of action?
TIA

Do you realy need Frigrattes, Cruisers ,... or just made Capitals ? Same thing.
It's the role of the ship not the size. Same to the freighters.
The AI will send the Small ones to other duties then the Large ones, but basicly you can made all freighters the same.
But since the AI build more Small then Large, you can made them a bit cheaper to lower the maintance cost.
