Eastern fringe of the Ultima Segmentum is the biggest one in the imperium, so stands to reason that accounts for a fair bit of ships?
@ horizon Not sure if I am understanding you correctly on differenciation between doctrine/construction; I presume you mean most fleets have a distinctive combat style of sorts, many of which preclude long range fire support and preliminary bombardments. This is true. I am merely stating that the dominator could easily be more available than it is, without destroying the game or crapping on established fluff. If we were to have a dozen or two fleet lists, we could remove it from half other and restrict it for the other quarter...wait a sec, that would be an interesting fluff dive for fleet division (when we get to it): 4 lists, 1 per segmentum.
On topic, I guess the NC option can stay if people insist; no one is forcing me to take it, after all
. But especially if we revisit the NC, we can afford to relax the leash a little on the dominator eventually.
