E = Explorer Class: Fast (extra sail) non-combat ship with low cargo and not many upgrade options. No Gunports or Gun Placements.

L = Luxury Class: High structure limit, average non-combat ship. No Gunports or Gun Placements.

T = Transport Class: Fast (extra sail) non-combat ship with High base weight and per level weight. No gunports and only swivels allowed.

W = Warship Class: Increased mobility combat ship with very high attack and resistance. Lower max structure forces to decide between defense vs offense structures.

Your values on the Google sheet are default, correct? I'm playing on a server that uses your mod, but their Explorer class ships have the same Atlas Default sail units. They say they haven't altered the ini file in anyway. So the Schooner E should have 5.5 sail units, but says 4.0 when placing sails.

Yes, those are the defaults. It used to be 4.0, but it has been updated to 5.5, which the latest live release should have.

there is something interesting in that sheet !!
you have levelupstats there, and in () you put the core-descriptions
how does it work for the ini files ?
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=1
this is for player, how to do it for ships?

Unfortunately, you can't adjust the per level stats in the config. That would require the devs to add that in.

Nyt do you know what the defualt levels are compared to a vanilla ship?

It's whatever the server is setup as. They level the same as vanilla ships.

Except, AS ships have a config option to gain XP at a faster rate (e.g. 10x). The max level is the same as however the vanilla ships are set at.

Can we change the warship class to have more structures via the ini file?

Yes, with config entries like:
