Does the gap between Rapier & Corvette leave enough room for a new class of combat ship?
How hard is it to use ResEdit?
And does '(m*#)+((m*#)/2)=? m=Fighter Mass #=number of ships in bay' sound like a reasonable formula?

I think so -- they are different ships, leaving an area open for a civilian gunboat, some turrets, etc.

Not that hard. Check out the EV Deveoper's Corner for some help.

Formula to determine the mass of fighter bays. Under this system the masses would be,
Hawk 30
Lightning 36
Manta 54
Confederate Fighter 66
RE: Evedit
It seems to leave the plug buggy, but those one-way links have possibilities.
Both of you thanks for replying.

I did, it sometimes shows up when I tinker with other peoples plugs (and didn't touch the links). 
Everyone thanks for replying.

Ack, don't use EVEdit, it's terrible in comparison with ResEdit! I could sit here and list off the many many problems with EVEdit, but that's better left to an epic novel. ResEdit's really easy to use once you get the hang of it. It's also a lot more flexible, particularly when used in conjunction with those developer tools made by Pontus Ilbring. The Developer's Map and Formula Calc in particular are very useful. They're available in the add ons section of this site, under utilities.

Heh, that was odd. A silly post that belonged in another topic ended up here, WEIRD.

well, the evedit is very easy to use for changing stats of ships and outfits, you can also change the government of a system. evedit messed up my version of ev, but i re-installed it and it is working fine now.

When you think about it, though, the Cruisier is not available to civilians. Therefore, the gap is meaningless.

Sounds like fun. 54 mantas!

I don't care what the moderators say, my nickname is swedish chef.
Res-Edit is pretty easy to use, and there is an easy guide (which I believe you can find on the EV addons pages): Beginner's Res-Edit Guide to Escape Velocity. For EVO, just use the EVO bible.
PS-Make sure you use the EV/O templates, unless you want to have to deal with hex.

I think he ment 54tons for the manta bay, not 54 mantas in the bay(unfortunately).

Personally, I don't believe it's worth the effort. This level of ship should be passed through as quickly as possible. If you're going to "amount to anything", you won't be at this level long. Get a Corvette and a small fleet, capture a destroyer-class ship, then move on. In the scheme on things, these ships are "cannon fodder".

Am I the only one that thinks fighter bays don't take enough space as is? I find it unrealistic and bothersome that with this system a Rapier could easily hold a lightning bay (and can, in fact, hold a Hawk bay without game modification). If you use this system, be sure to make the fighters themselves take up mass, to make up for the reletively low bay mass.
