On the subject of Type 100 ships, it is interesting to note that when you use one in the mission editor, the designation shows up as AO, which of course is the US designation for fleet oiler. Too bad the SHIII dev team didn't have time to finish some fleet tankers for the game. Although it probably wouldn't have enhanced gameplay to a great degree, and I suppose technically the Small Tanker is actually a fleet tanker model (the Patapsco Class
). Still, I think type 100 is a good designation for misc vessels which shouldn't spawn at random.
