I have several designs as well, but that doesn't mean you're going to get you're hand on them. ;D

You wouldnt even want mine as you would have to design way over hundred different systems.

nope, those things take forever to design now. once long ago you could make them rapidly with the back button, but alas, that is no more.

ars's uses just about that many too. And I had to design it without the back button too once, cause he had two of them, and I only had one. Boy, what fun THAT was.

Yea, well I can't understand what's so good about making a ship with hundreds off items. ??? As far as I can see, there is no gain in doing that. A ship doesn't get any better when you do that. It's only more work making such a ship. Maybe my mathematics aren't correct, but I think making a design like that is stupid. It's just a thought off mine, no need to feel offended. ;)

actually, a ship with a lot of systems can get the same stats as a ship with one or two systems per design type, but cost less. You'll have to ask ars for the specifics there, but it is true. That's how you can get a 50% abs and have like, half the cost, multiple systems. It works, trust me.

With computer and shield, I agree. But there is no use in putting more then 10 off each on a ship. I figured out the formula on how multiple items add up to a total and as far as my calculations go, there is no gain in making more than 5 computers or shields per ship. I've worked several weeks on finding the optimum for each specific amount off absorb, designing and redesigning and more redesigning.
For example: if I want a total off 50% absorb on a ship then I need to do this to get the lowest cost:
combine 1 shield 30% abs, 2 shields 28% abs and 1 shield 20% abs.
And trust me, this is the optimum for this. No need to put togheter 50 or more shields.
For weapons, defence or armor I haven't found any such optimum besides 1 single such system.
