parts are made of new ships
Absolutely beautiful mod! thank you. I didn't get the hang of it at first, but now I realize it's exactly what I was missing. A little power and variety of ships)
There is one point that would be good to tweak is how much and what parts are made of these new ships. At least I judge by what is written in the encyclopedia.
It seems to me that there overestimated the amount of parts from which they are made. For example a ship that is based on the Wyvern is made from 5 thousand hull parts, while the Wyvern itself is made from 1900 hull parts. And for example the Manticore, which is visually and realistically smaller than the Behemoth, but has fewer hull parts than the Behemoth.
Reducing to real values will allow more of these ships to produce in the player and NPС shipyards.
Also another point. In the encyclopedia for vanilla ships everywhere it is stated that the hull itself is produced from the parts of the hull and energy elements. This is correct. The hull itself is produced from this and the other parts such as the AM converters are used to produce equipment - engines, turrets, etc. But the encyclopedia says that your ships also use other parts besides parts of the hull and energy cells - AM converters, smartchips and something else. This does not seem right to me.
It would be great to fix these points, if you need help in determining the amount of materials for the ships I can help and roughly calculate the actual amount for each ship.
Thanks for the mod! Good luck)
