When your ship takes two years to build, you can’t really specialize it too much, because you can’t always accurately predict the situation in two years.

Part of the problem is that ships have a very long lead time before they become available, so it is difficult to iterate on the designs in a timely fashion.

In particular, we felt that the ship designer was encouraging too many generalist designs. We did, however, want to improve a bit on the ship designer. As always, keep in mind that the things shown in this DevDiary are still under development, so the numbers and UI might change before release.Įver since we revealed the ship designer in Man the Guns, people have been asking about a similar system for tanks.

Hello, and welcome back to another DevDiary about content coming in the 1.11 “Barbarossa” patch and its accompanying DLC.
