HullClassifiers for Small Combat Ships #18

Closed zrisher closed 9 years ago

zrisher commented 9 years ago

Looking at the youtube HW ship comparison and thinking about our sectioning needs, I'd love to have these HullClassifiers for small combat ships:

This is a change from the current situation where fighter covers the whole spectrum - I suggest we move corvette down to the small block section and introduce scout to better segment this group. I can see Scout being particularly useful for people making missiles or other small remote-controlled craft if it was cheaper than a fighter. I can see Corvette being a really cool place to allow small-ship turrets.

See #19 for priority on this.

Corvettes are large ships in the real world. They are also large ships in Homeworld, they just look comparable in size to the fighters because the fighter models are artificially scaled up to make them visible at all.

Yeah in the HW class system I can see them being classified as "Large", but:
