<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah that appears to be the plan. But when the opponent gets dreadnought hulls, frigates and destroyers are doomed. One direct hit from a Heavy weapon will instantly destroy an armored, shielded, ECM III frigate. I think 2 or 3 CSM V will also instantly destroy a frigate. That's kinda funny when it happens -- to the other guy at least. Whoosh --- Boom no mini explosions, no limping away on one engine, just gone.

'Course, the ship has just wasted some of it's big guns on a little cannon fodder ship, now it's your turn. Heh

"BTW - I've heard of guys using so-called 'training ships' to train up the crew. I don't see anywhere wherein one can transfer a crew."

Not used to train a ship, but a FLEET. Once the fleet is fully trained, put some attack ships in it and take the bogus training ship out. Rinse and repeat.

Re: My thoughts on ship sizes.
 

Yes, softener makes for better war ships.

Re: My thoughts on ship sizes.
 

Don't add softener if you're using Organic Armor though, it gets in there and leaves this really nasty smell and stain behind.

Bah! You have to use 'Organic Armor Conditioner' for Organic Armor! Anybody who's played Organic should know that! Yeesh, next you'll be wondering where to get Crystalline Armor polish!
