« on: October 15, 2014, 07:02:45 AM »I just pressed copy on this ship:
And that got me this ship:
I changed nothing. In design view, the original has 6.3 Biphase Carbide Armor, and the copy has 6.2 Biphase Carbide Armor.
So they have the same armor tech. (Although I am researching the next tech level at the current time).
Where does the 700 ton difference come from? Like I say, I really did do anything except press the copy design button.
I experimented by trying the new armour button on both the original as well as the copy, to no effect. I gave both a point of armor, and took it out again. Again, no change, still 700 ton difference.
Is there a hidden factor over time that allows for the construction of smaller ships? The original design was made a decade ago..
EDIT: I did get better shipbuilding rate construction tech, would that matter? Although that still would not explain that I can't get the old design to match the copy.
EDIT2: I found it. Pressing the copy button turns off the 'keep spare berths' option. It has less flight crew
