Potential Error in ShipBluePrintDefs.XML

Published on Sunday, June 9, 2024 By Dorian Gray II In GalCiv IV Support

I think the following is using an incorrect ShipGroup, which appears to be linked to some of the previous issues I have reported, especially regarding "Cutting Principle".

I believe the following ShipGroup attributes should be using Cruiser instead of Frigate.

This may not be the only error, but I believe it is at least one of them.

However, considering the "Large" hull type, Battleship may be even more appropriate than Cruiser.

Never-the-less, Frigate appears to be wrong.
