We did (with heavy heart) scrap the individual ship design for smaller vessels in 0.60. The sole reason for that was that the design and game engine were on opposite ends, and it was better to cut our losses rather than to continue down that road. Apart from that things might have changed perhaps, but not drastically so. And we've added events (and diversified event graphics) rather than down-scaling it. So what draws you to the conclusion that the mod has lost diversity?
