But, as I said, if we can't make it to 400 posts, and yet reach 30 (obviously the more posts, the more room we have to fit stuff on it), we can bump production of some novel 3000-meter-long battlecruiser to semi-unique and still make it within the budget that was originally allocated for a flagship in the 4000-5000m range, and still have the thread count for something in the Factory.
The SSC's flagship, the Barsen'Thor, had ~100 dev posts for it to be able to fit 2500 turbolasers' worth of firepower and 6 squadrons.
On top of the baseline, as applied to heavy battlecruisers: 10 extra posts past 30 = 100 extra guns, 10 extra posts past 30 = 1 extra squadron.
