Well, I went ahead and did it, and I'll be testing this weekend. I'll upload soon to get some more testers, but I'm not sure the interest is there....
What I've done is added about a 1000 to 3000 ton variation to the GRT of all merchants. Nothin magical, the capability is right there in the .CFG files but in stock it's rarely used, and most merchants are set to very high tonnages, so it's no wonder people are racking up enormous scores.
I've also given the Brit Liberty and Victory ships generic names like 'Large Modern Freighter' and left them in 1939. I've done this to give us a larger variety of merchant targets and because many peope wouldn't recognize a Victory ship anyway.
Note: this would render the 'weight' part of the Enhanced Recognition Manual mod inaccurate, nothing I can do about that.
