I would like to see what you come up with, as I think about this, it does make
some sense. However, the old system did have the effect that a large ship had
to pay a geometrically higher price for each level of thrust (maneuverability)
than a small ship, thus the point system balanced the fact that while a AA
battery (Railgun, etc) was large and had only one arc, a highly maneuverable
big ship could negate this disadvantage and pound destoyer squadrons to pieces
at long range. So since the old system adjusted for this problem, I'm just
worried that the new one may not. Phil P. P.S. There are historical situations
where small ships ganged up on larger ships and destoyed them. Torpedo boats
come to mind, thus the invention of the Torpedo Boat Destroyer... Now known as
the Destroyer... Obviously I can not show you where they were completely on
their own, since most fleets in history are mixed...
