Year 14 Day 61 2:15	Ship Classes: What determines their class?
Jesfa	Firepower and slots sizes were a major factor, as per your specific examples: “Frigates Class - Half of them are labelled Cruisers in their name, in fact there's more cruisers than Frigates. ” There's no cruiser class. Most of the ships that are "cruiser" are more or less glorified patrol corvettes with only moderate firepower. Not quite strong/big enough to really be a capital. “Gunboats - 3 of the ships in gunboats don't make any sense, the Saboath, Alpha Starwing and the Starsaber MKII ” The Alpha Starwing is in fact commonly called/known as the assault gunboat or cygnus gunboat, due to its weapon fitout, and should likely later be made to have a bit more hull/survivability. The Saboath will likely be moved, I had originally thought they had more HP than they did. Per the JM5K, I've mentioned in half a dozen threads that due to the long process of making categories actually work, a couple of the fighter/light freighter/gunboat were in the wrong spots. Without looking, that's likely one of them. YV-666, SWC has retconned the YV-666 to be a small capital ship rather than a Light Freighter. Tabder, I originally had it in the Super Class, since it's a a "Super" RM Transport, but I was bitched at by like, everyone, so it was moved. ____________

Gideon Kaine	Thanks for explaining it Jesfa, so will the Starsaber MK2 also be moved back to fighter? ____________ "We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy!"

Gav	It was already done. He didn't reset the cache. I just did that. ____________

Year 14 Day 61 14:33	Ship Classes: What determines their class?
Jesfa	Odd. I did reset the cache. Not sure why it didn't move. I'll relook at the few that are wrong in light/gunship/fighters later this week after I play catchup with school. Been sick/working for the past 5 days, with next to no sleep, so I'm a bit behind. ____________
