Looking forward to the updates!

Wooo! Swordfish and Narwhal updates are done. Dragonfish is next, and the new "Spearfish" will bridge the gap from the overhauled Swordfish to the overhauled Oarfish. The biggest thing setting me back right now is weaponry. The newest destroyers I've built have ridiculous firepower compared to their former selves. For example, I was testing the Narwhal against a Pilferer and winning... something the swordfish can't do, a bigger and supposedly more powerful ship. But hey, it's more of an all-rounder. The Spearfish will blur the line between destroyer and cruiser, mounting a lot of dual-purpose guns like the Narwhal and retaining the AA guns while adding more... Perhaps it's a "corvette".

I wanted to establish some standards for building, so I'm so working on a single upgrade-path through my designs. Overhauls of the destroyers gave me a good small engine and taught me how to best design small turrets... Now I think I've figured out enough to move on to bigger things; the Dragonfish has been overhauled. The new engine is pretty awesome for it's size, and siginficantly better than that hunk of crap I shoved into the Auroch. The turrets are a little lacking for my taste but it's a light cruiser, so it'll do. The overhauled Oarfish will be the one with the scary guns.

Up next is the big overhaul for the Leviathan. I just want to get it done... It's been bugging me. Then I'll start fillling in what else I need for a good campaign fleet. A lot of basic roles have been filled out, but they're only good enough for handling the DWG-stage of the campaign. I still need bigger transports, better fortresses, etc...

The Leviathan Mk. ii is basically finished, I'm just trying to see if there's anything I missed and giving it some thorough testing. I updated the coyote, hyena, and goat. You could sweep the DWG on expert with just those most likely. On my godly playthrough, the Marlin is shredding those pirates. There's also an update to the swordfish in the works, I wasn't happy with it. Since buoyancy changed, everything had to get some attention. Now the coyote only sometimes flies into the air... Lots of little stuff.
