For those of us who like to design our own ships (I'll assume its almost everybody), I have a question. How do you lable your ships in the ship design?
Personally I use a system like this Smd-Ta1 (ship name/class) I
I'll break it down from first ot last
S = hull size (T, M, L, H for other sizes)
m = missile weaonry (R for mass and L for beam)
d = defensive shipe (a = attack)
T = Terran hull
a = first generation engines (i.e. +1 speed, B for 2 etc.)
1 = first generation weaponry (same as engines but with numbers)
Ship name/class is pretty obvious
I = model (I use Roman numerals for the model number, every time I make an upgrade the number goes up).
