Thus I decided to make my own rule set based off the old one. These new rules in my opinion do the following things:
1. Promote balanced fleets with different roles.
2. Promote the use of smaller vessels as well as the standard big battleships of death.
So here you go, any comments/balancing suggestions are appreciated.
