Post by: TrashMan on February 09, 2013, 03:33:46 pm: Basicly, you have 2 versions of the carrier and cruiser, and 3 versions of a battleship and DN. Different stats and armamnets.

You have a DN with 2 PD guns, DN with 2 topedo launchers, DN with 1 torp and 1 PD gun (in addition to the standard 3 heavy lasers), battleship with 4 guns (no tempest), etc...

There a excel sheet I used with all stats and everything.
Frankly I just re-installed the game so I have to check myself if everything is accurate in the mod file itself. If you spot anything odd or a balance issue, point it out pls.
