Light Cruisers?

Hey guys, probably a stupid question, but how do you make Light Cruisers? The whole hull system has me a bit confused. I liked the old version where it gives a bit of history on each ship you were researching.

Thanks

Light turrets create light cruiser templates and med-heavy turrets create heavier variants. I may be wrong on this but i noticed it changed for me when i swapped turret sizes (it may be something else i didnt account for that i also changed)

That's correct. A single medium turret on a cruiser body creates a heavy cruiser. Counts as a capital ship as per naval treaties, if that matters.

Light Cruiser:
- has turrets which only do light damage
- has torpedoes

Heavy Cruiser:
- has turrets which also do hard damage
- has no torpedoes

This is the main difference in the current build, but without the MtG DLC features applied.

What about AA? In theory light cruisers should have the best AA choices

[ChaosKhan]

LCs have the best AA/prod value, but have the same stat there as heavy cruisers per ship.

The ship upgrades also have descriptions telling what type of cruiser its for
