In my current game I have built 2 offensive ships, one small and one medium size. By comparing these 2 ships I started to doubt if there is any justification for building medium ships.
These are the ships I've built:
Medium Ship has 41 space:
I equipped it with with 1 Impuls drive(6 Space) + 5 Lasers V (6 Space and 1dmg), alltogether 36 space used and 5 free
Small Ship has 28 space:
I equipped it with 1Impuls drive(5 Space) + 4 Lasers V (5 Space and 1 dmg), alltogether 25 space used and 3 free
Ok, without Bonuses the small hull has 10hp while medium has 16hp. Small ships require 3 logistic points and medium ships 4 points.
Now assume we have a total of 24 logistic points available. That means we can create a fleet with small ships containing 8 members OR we can create a fleet with medium ships containing 6 Members.
The accumulated stats of both fleets would look like this:
Fleet with small ships: Total Dammage: 32, total hitpoints 80
Fleet with medium ships: Total Dammage :30,total hitpoints 96
As we see both look nearly the same as powerfull.Note that the costs for both fleets are nearly the same.
I fiiddled around a bit with Kryos fleet simulator and it showed averagely a very slight advantage for the medium hull fleet. By equipping all ships with weapons that cause 2 dmg both fleets were equally powerful. So that leads me to the question, what on earth are medium hulls good for???
