First, I wanna admit that reading such comments from mod gurus like Rockin Robbins and CapnScurvy really make me proud.

Cdrsubron7 & Propbeanie also agreed to torture me by testing my monstrosity. I guess they're preparing their whips now!

Thanks for all the support gentlemen, I have a bet with myself on that, I'll finish it.
Please, allow me some time to get it work right, so your depth charging will be easier on me after release.

RR, yes, maybe the mod should be compatible with stock and other supermods (GFO, TMO) that keep the stock compartments in individual ships. RFB is out of the question of course. Found out that JRex's ship fix clearly produces unwanted results, probably the heavier ship issue. Clearly incompatible with the damage mod. No issue yet though with Webster's fix. Importing FOTRS v2.0 ships, or OM freighters shouldn't be a problem, as I have the formulas ready to convert them for immediate use. They will need to be tested though.

Doing some research and testing on the jackrabbit issue, I think I can make something about it, it's very simple, just to make the situation better, as you suggested, but without touching the ship tonnage. Just don't expect to be comparable with the fixes done by Webster and JRex.

I really think that affecting only the DD's and DE's will have the convoy issues you mentioned, as the escorts will struggle to keep position. I'll prepare a test version for you, to test with your infamous Convoy from Hell mission, and maybe you could have a quick look of how the convoys are spawning in the campaign. If you're just partly satisfied with the result, we can fine-tune it further later on.

I'll have it ready in our drive before the end of the day. Just don't upload any clips about it!

@CdrSubron7, excellent screenshots as always! I've not encountered this beauty yet! Hats off to Maddy's originality!

Edit:
CapnScurvy I'm sorry, I posted before reading your post. You and RR have a serious point here and probably a solution. I'll upload two test versions for the team to check out.

Regards,
Billy.
