Tired of not having room on those escorts? =)

Well, over Christmas weekend I had the chance to test my mounts out. I hadn't realized the damage would be rounded up, so 50% ends up being too much. So I went with DirectorTsaarx's suggestion and reduced it to 40%. This seemed to work out better, and seemed more balanced/fair. Without the Standard Mounts I made put in, the AI, as a few have stated, would put these on their ships all the way up to the destroyer.

Messing with this has really given me some thoughts on custom mounts. Personally, I think if there is more than one type of mount available for the weight, the AI should compare the numbers rather than just sticking whatever on, you might be able to really screw the AI over by making some mount that has all penalties and does next to no damage, and it would mindlessly stuff its ships with them. Barring that, though, I like the idea of having a lower limit as well as an upper weight limit.
