Dysfunctional ship-lines

[Tenacity]

Current ships aside, it is a good opportunity to assess what ship requirement gaps are present in the mod for the plans of factions, though whether or not these can be modeled is a separate issue. The lack of a Light Battleship for Gallia and Kusari is a clear requirement gap, but particularly for Gallia, there are to my knowledge no persons wishing or able to model for them.

I've always been of the mind that groups/factions/houses should have their own style. Gallia doesnt really need a light BS because it isnt their style. They came into sirius hoping to steamroll everything with the biggest, baddest warships around and found themselves being countered by lighter craft - that's (part of) why they built the obstinate and triumph series of destroyers and battlecruisers to try and combat more agile craft from the enemies they were facing.

If we give every faction every version of every capship, not only will we have too damn many ships in the mod, but it will ruin the flavor each group is supposed to be bringing to battle. You get unique pvp interactions between factions that have different types of combat assets. A heavy battleship flies differently from a light one, a light destroyer flies differently from a medium or heavy cruiser (and those two fly differently from one another as well). They all have strengths and weaknesses.
