I'd like to know how is it handled in RTW2.
In RTW1 it was absolutely best raider design possible - 2100t cruiser with long range, reliable engines and speed enough to run from all bigger ships. But I feel it wasn't really intended, but rather bug in the calculations between hull-engines-range, as amount of stuff available at 2100t was then again possible at around 3500t if memory serves right (I had not played some time waiting for RTW2 ). Early on, I could understand this as small steam-sail unprotected cruiser getting range from use of sails, while capable of 23 or so kts using steam engine, but later, 31-32kts long range ship in the size of a destroyer do not feel right.
I guess there will be new functions used to calculate designs (with changing armour and tech levels) but should I expect this kind of ship return or not? Was it deliberate or bug?

There were more issues with this curves. It was even possible at certain times to build 900 tons destroyer which has more available space than 1500 tons destroyer.
It was mentioned by Fredrik W that these curves would be smoothed for RTW2. How much we can see after release.
