Just a quick info for everyone interessted:
I ran into a brick wall with my eonomic base idea when it came to balancing inside a shipclass and lategame vs early game.

Which is why i decided to focus all my time right now on a balancing simulator. Basically a battle calculator of sorts taking basically everything, even formations, into account in some way. MY goal was to get a basic balancing number that indicates rather correctly how well a ship will perform against a certain other ship.

The good news is: I have that now. It is working with an estimated 90% accuracy more or less and i will use this as my main tool to balance with occassional playtests for verification of correct simulation.

Which means:
I can now much quicker balance stuff out and it turns out the balance issue the corvette has in its native form are MASSIVE. I mean its mindblowing how much i have to balance the fact out that a corvette has 3 weapons in a hull with 300 hp. It just screams, naked corvette with 3 weapon only spam.

However there is light at the end of the tunnel...at the expense of weaponprices, thos will most likely become more expensive, while equipment like shields, armor, reactors and such will become way cheaper.

Prices most likely will get a small linear increase in most cases, especially in weapons. However it needs to be balanced against the DPS Gain, prices of weapons can never raise higher than DPS Gain (unless there is a REALLY good reason)

After now 5 days working tirelessly like 10-12 hours on math, equations, sequences and what not in google spreadsheet i think the real balancing starts now and we can soon see some progress.
If anyone want to do some playtesting in a well sorted manner plz write here, i would be glad to have some verification of some theories.
