Large Hull Missing

from GalCiv2 Forums
Whats the deal with large hulls? According to the research screen, you get five large hulls when you complete the research. I only see three large hulls. One of them being the block you can build on. The other two are missing. In fact I had the same problem with Dread Lords. I only had two large hulls instead of the three it claimed.

Is there a reason for this?

I think the research screen doesn't take into account things that aren't available to your race type. You could make one race have 20 large hulls, and the research screen would show this, but you'd still only have your normal three.

My guesses on the 5 are:
1-3 your standard race hulls
4 the cube hull
5 the dreadlord large hull - which you don't have access to

I don't think thats it. Even if true I should have four large hulls. I only have three including the cube hull. I should have one other large hull to make it four. I've looked in the GC2Types.xml and found no tags for the hulls to restrict them to a specific race either.

Additionally, every other type of hull from tiny to huge have five hulls. Its seems odd that you would be restricted to two large hulls (and a cube) while there are five hulls for every other hull type.

Not all races have the same numbers of unique hulls. The original Torian and Drengin styles only contain two unique large hulls each. For DA, the three new Large hulls were added to those races that already had three, oddly enough. So of the five basic non-dreadlord styles (even though there are thirteen styles in DA, each of them only uses hulls from one of these five), three have four hulls plus the brick, while two have only two hulls plus the brick.
