You ever have that problem where you are trying to make a ship (Vanilla BSC) for open level, but it goes into VIP instead? I've been having that problem too. I recently made a new ship (fought Owl twice with it against his level 6 ship, and sunk both times but anyways...) and everything I try to add, except maybe some small decorations, puts the ship into VIP. Which sucks.

So I did some calculations. You don't need to know what they mean, but here they are.

2x2x2 blocks: 32 x 12 x 800 = 307200 3x2x1 blocks: 21 x 12 x 600 = 151200 Turret bases for 46cm gun: 2 x 1000 = 2000 46cm guns: 5 x 90000 = 450000 Runways: 2 x 40000 = 80000 MK45 guns: 2 x 50000 = 100000 Some more 3x2x1 blocks: 14 x 600 = 8400 Another bunch of 3x2x1 blocks: 12 x 4 x 600 = 28800 Angled Decks: 12 x 2000 = 24000 Gas Turbines: 3 x 10000 = 30000 Large Aircraft Boiler: 2 x 8000 = 16000 AA Guns: 6 x 10000 = 60000 Bombers: 2 x 50000 = 100000 Ducts: 2 x 100 = 200

And...the maximum resources you can use on a ship before it becomes VIP is around 1,355,800 resources. Maybe more, idk. But it can't exceed 10000 more than that, because I can't put another AA gun on my ship :(

TLDR: You can spend about 1,355,800 resources on a ship before it goes in VIP.
