- Perhaps a little "review" on the models of some of the "older ship" from CF 1.7, esp. a "resizing", since some of the ships seem a bit too big - or too small - compared to others of it's class ( APC freighter, Adonis freighter, Mayfly fighter as examples for ships too small, BullPup fighter series, Interloper, Starskipper, A-100, Avenger as too big (look at the "pilot" that is part of the Avenger-model).

This is one of the few open requests for CF1.9... resizing ships.
As many ships got a new balancing the only thing i was not able to balance by stats is the ship size which of course plays a big role in combats.
A short comparision between vanilla ship sizes showed that there is no big difference between the ship sizes (not even between light fighters and heavy ones -> there is a difference of max 20%)
Personally after checking the first 40 custom CF ships I can not 100% agree with the above statement as e.g. the Avenger is even smaller than a sabre and i would increase its size by 15-20%. The Adonis is even bigger than a sabre. (Instead using the calculated sizes that tools tell me I am using a visual comparison method which is more exact).

I can fully agree on the statement that the APC is much too small -> increasing it by 50% will be neccessary.

However... many small changes will be neccessary but the balance will take good benefit from that work.
