Hey TR team:

I was reading the manual and saw the capital armor (armour) type, but then I noticed that none of the capital ships use this type. Instead, they all seem to use Frigate armour types. The super ships use the SSD type, but is there a balance-related reason or some other reason for the capitals to use Frigate type?

Thanks for all the hard work! Loving the mod as always!
"That's not what the Empire would have done, Commander. What the Empire would have done was build a super-colossal Yuuzhan Vong-killing battle machine. They would have called it the Nova Colossus or the Galaxy Destructor or the Nostril of Palpatine or something equally grandiose. They would have spent billions of credits, employed thousands of contractors and subcontractors, and equipped it with the latest in death-dealing technology. And you know what would have happened? It wouldn't have worked. They'd forget to bolt down a metal plate over an access hatch leading to the main reactors, or some other mistake, and a hotshot enemy pilot would drop a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done."

Generally when it was done a lot of stuff was standardized, but over 2.2 (And going forward), we've begun specializing some of that stuff a bit more.
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon
