Hehe...it randomizes tonnage of course!

Seriously though, it would change the value of merchant ship tonnage before you start the game to something like plus or minus 15% of the original value. I could also add the small chance that you get a very small ship, or a much larger ship than normal.

For example, say the base tonnage for a small merchant is 2,400 GRT. This program would change that to a random number between 2,040 GRT and 2760 GRT before the small change that SH3 applies. I could make this range even bigger if desired. You wouldn't know what the number is unless you look at the recognition manual or sink a ship.
