Why baffled?

A single texture is too small to contain details for an entire (big) ship. That's why it mostly contains 'material' type sections (metal/wood/some doors/some windows/etc), and is applied to entire areas. It will not give alot of details, see it as an overall paint job.

The Oxx texture comes into play here. Big areas (like the hull) can be given more detail now. See this as the finishing paint brush job. 20 doors that would otherwise look the same or a hull with repeating metal look, can now be touched up by blending different scratches, rust and shades over it.
