Ok, so here's one thing I thought was a crappy decision - they ceased production of the Bengal class. Ok, so the Tiger's Claw went down, everyone got upset; the rest are perfectly fine ships and there was no excuse to slash production of a ship that could carry more fighters than any other carrier then in service and could operate without the support of other vessels.
Anyone else think that was a strange decision?
And did you notice that the Vesuvius-class carriers had a very small production run before being replaced by the Midway's? Look at their stats; Vesuvius's (Vesuvii?) could carry more fighters, were better armed, armored, and they were faster, too. They were also smaller than the Midway class. And yet, they stopped making them when they were clearly superior.
Odd, dontcha think?
I know this is weird tech stuff that no one but myself seems to care about (I love going over technical sci-fi stuff and seeing how it relates to reality), but think about it - these are some of the two best ships they've made, and yet, they all had abrupt ends.
Here's another thought - it would have taken either side about 5 minutes or less to order a bombardment over Repleetah and be done with the battle, but yet, neither side did. Didja ever wonder why? So many wasted lives for absolutely nothing...
