: Use towers with lower weight even if they have slightly worse stats to keep your displacement down.
: To avoid your "paper" designs becoming obsolete or technically "too heavy" due to background research updates, players recommend refitting or creating new classes every few years rather than keeping old blueprints. Managing Shared Designs If you are looking to "generate" or share a design file:
: These ships are highly susceptible to being sunk by a single well-placed salvo. AI-controlled ships are often "paper-armored," making them easy targets for players with balanced designs. Design "Expiration" (Paper vs. Fleet) Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts
: As technology advances, original ship designs may "expire" or become too heavy to build if they aren't manually updated every 2–3 years.
: These binary files can be shared with other players or content creators for use in custom battles or campaigns. Note that the AI can only build shared designs if it has researched the exact required technology. Optimization Tips : Use towers with lower weight even if
: High-quality armor (e.g., 150%) allows you to use thinner "paper" plates while maintaining the protection of much thicker, lower-quality armor.
Players often design "paper" ships to maximize offensive stats within tight weight budgets. : These binary files can be shared with
: This weight savings is funneled into high-speed engines (e.g., 21–22 knots for early light cruisers) and massive batteries of secondary or main guns.
