I'll confess to not having slogged though seventeen pages of this, but as I thought I might have had a nominally useful idea, rather than my last post, I'd put it forth.
Would it make sense in the fleet, given how it's renounced carrier capital ships to move the functionalities to auxilary vessels. Should the fleet be given no capital ship carriers, but, instead be allowed a number of escort carriers? You know the ones, normally used to replace transports in senarios, but in this case they'd probably be recosted and included in the main fleet list, maybe with a limitation like one per two capital ships?
