Simplified FP rules (for ships without Civilian-grade Hull)-
« on: August 21, 2020, 08:37:54 AM »
Frigate FP = DP
Destroyer FP = DP*0.95
Cruiser FP = DP*0.9
Capital FP = DP*0.85

Ships with Civilian-grade Hull would need to have their FP assigned on an individual basis.

What does it matter, really? The player doesn't see it.

This would be a Bad Idea. FP is used for many things under the hood and more or less respects the "power" of the ship so making them standardized is not good.

In my experience, having the two values be separate is actually a very good thing.

That way, you can make ships that are costly for the player to deploy/use without breaking autoresolve with such a high value. The player makes the largest difference on the battlefield, so its useful to be able to separate his/her considerations from the AI/campaign considerations.
