It looks like I had this fairly well completed.
I am churning through a ton of BP on heavy ships.
I have not planned out my future builds, as every time I do I have to revise the plan.
But with the Tiamat class finishing reconstruction, and my run of
Hamberkastig and Royn aux classes starting to taper off,
I should have the spare BP to afford the future.
I kinda expected building the fleet to be easier by now, but - as I think everyone has noticed- costs keep rising. Moving from 6000 ton to 8000ton and now 10,000 ton cruisers is an increase of 175%
Destroyers are twice the size, as are battleships.
Overall, adding carriers to the Fleet needs has drastically complicated
my building demands. In the past 10 game years I've laid down 13 vessels with flight decks,
in addition to the ships converted as trial ships and now scrapped.
I have also indulged in building a substantial auxiliary fleet, soaking up ~125BP.
That could have been quite a large number of warships.
IF my only goal was a showdown with the Byzantines in the Red Sea, and I did not worry about 'storyline' matters like coastal forces.. I would not need them.
IF I want my fleet to have power projection I do. So I have the ability to support the fleet in distant theater even if I loose my forward bases.
My hopes of laying down 4 new Armored Cruisers in 1935 looks ...optimistic...though.
And developing a light carrier design or another flight deck cruiser design seems also optimistic,
as does increasing my DD production, adding 1500 ton subs, and many other things.
