Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait to play.

As it is the tonnage calculations are so ridiculously over the top that I cannot design ships that I feel are reasonable to real world analogues of the time.  And with no information about how it's all calculated that I can use to figure this out I just can't enjoy the game by blindly stabbing around and hoping to figure it out.  I need clear documentation or information to tell me how all of this stuff works.
