sweet emi thanks now i dont have to get stuck at buildign swarmers to try to do missions

but actually if oyu just fill it with 9s it comes up as :
Ship Name Space
Custom Ship 60 55899224465786520
This ship hull will cost you 9.223.372.036.854.775.808 credits a ship.
so looks like max size is actually max cost now...
and yo ureally should leave it at that, because it does take quite a while to get 9 quintillion lol, so ship size therefore wont max out (which it shouldnt)
o and one other thing, shields max out at like 20 - 50 bil ships for most people, and are basically irrelevant after that as they use literaly no energy comapred to what the ship is making, so i was thinking maybe you could set something up where energy req on a shield system increases as ship size goes up (as it would cost more to make a bigger shield aroudn the ships bigger hull... atm it costs same amount of energy to shield a 20bil fighter as a 9 quitnillion ship would.
