haha a bad thing..
okay say your space ship is 1500.. which is a very small ship... you want to end up having 0 space left and 0 eng left.. your powercore should be no less than around 1350 weight.. depending on how many systems your putting on.. im not great at designing small ships... but when you have left over space and energy its just wasted cred

ok, actually, I was thinking about that weight, BUT I was under the impression that I needed to aim for half the weight of the ship  , so I'll try out all these new designs right now, and improvise later then. |

Weapon weight should be 10 for better efficiency.

just to confuse you more - i design weapons(combat wasp launchers) with weights from 850 to 100000 on ships and get +5% acc over a comparable energy 10 weight weapon for the same 3 credits. but thats just my personal thing. using a 1 or 8 or 10 weight is easier. i just like pushing out that extra 5%. i discovered it by modifying an existing weapon and found by increasing the weight i got more acc. and you'll notice that just 1% acc increases cost by millions once you pass the optimum.  |

it depends on the size of the hull if it is small i.e.20 space you need more ships than a 1mill space hull
so if you buy more you should get the swarm bonus

to be honest .. swarmers are not as effective as they used to be.. just make a bigger ship and buy just one of them and keep like 4 fleet of that one ship. plus doing that will allow you to do higher % misisons without losses
