Frigate: TMF 23, NPV 76 (or, in other words, you've paid for 1 Mass of weapons
more than you use).

Missile Destroyer: Legal design, but the data sheet lacks 1 hull box
(should be 3/3/2/2, not 3/2/2/2).

Light cruiser: Quick check gives the cost as 179?

Escort Cruiser: Quick check gives the cost as 231?

Heavy Cruiser: Cost 281. I'm beginning to think that you only pay 6 for the
ADFC; it costs 8.

Battleship: Cost 424. Yep, it must be the ADFC.

Superdreadnought: Quick check gives TMF 254, NPV 854, 76 hull boxes rather
than the stated TMF 269, NPV 897, 72 hull boxes?

The designs look like decent all-rounders, if maybe a little
high-thrust for capitals. Now add some Interceptor squadrons to break
up enemy attack fighter stacks and/or screen your heavies against
incoming missiles <g>

The adfc problem has been fixed as i used my own personal fleet design program
i made in excel. A escourt carrier is also beining designed and i will probley
purchase a model with fighters as soon as possible. Although if you read my
background for the FAS nation they have a very small population and really
cannot afford to replace the pilots that are killed in combat.

There was no FAS background on the URL you sent, and the "Back" button
returned a "The page you are trying to access doesn't exist on Yahoo!
GeoCities" result.

But which do you think is more expensive (in money and manpower) to lose: a
couple dozen fighters, or one single battleship?
