: Hold CTRL while moving parts to bypass standard "lock points," allowing for tighter, more weight-efficient designs.

: These ships are highly susceptible to being sunk by a single well-placed salvo. AI-controlled ships are often "paper-armored," making them easy targets for players with balanced designs. Design "Expiration" (Paper vs. Fleet) Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts

: This weight savings is funneled into high-speed engines (e.g., 21–22 knots for early light cruisers) and massive batteries of secondary or main guns.

: You minimize beam, draught, and armor thickness (often to the bare minimum) to save weight. : Saved ship designs are stored as

A common technical issue in the game involves the discrepancy between the original "paper" design and the actual ship in your fleet:

: Use towers with lower weight even if they have slightly worse stats to keep your displacement down. : You minimize beam, draught, and armor thickness

: High-quality armor (e.g., 150%) allows you to use thinner "paper" plates while maintaining the protection of much thicker, lower-quality armor.
