Who in the unholly hell told you that the Intrepid is 2 Durango class destroyers connected with each other?

However, it also has the greatest weakness in all the games. You take out it's engines and it's dead in the water. Then you only had to kill the bridge and bye-bye carrier.
In what way does that make the Midway different than any other carrier in the series?
****-Vesuvius
ok first we will start with the Vesuvius. This ship had a decent build to it. Good shields, but weak guns. It needed more of an offenseive play to it. Of course, during game play of the game they mad it out to be a weak ass ship so you can continue with the story line. I think it had a solid frame which was built upon. It's strenghts lay in it's fighters and defensive abilities, but otherwise it was nothing.****
Vesuvius had week guns? First, it's not a cruisier or anything, it's not going to fight other ships, and it's guns are pretty strong for a carrier...
****2nd; the Durango class ship; It's basicly a copy of the vesuvius in a smaller frame, except the fact there is practicaly no offensive assault work for the carrier at all it's all rigged for defensive positions only. Which is fine if you trying to hold the line or guarding a major planet. But it is also it's major weakness. ****
The old Durango class has absolutely nothing to do with the state of the art Vesuvius class. Durangos are outdate Confed destroyers, and the Intrepid and other converted jobs like here had simply short flight decks added underneath.
As for not having any offense, being a converted destroyer, the Durango class still has all them torpedo tubes...
****-Victory-
Here is a solid ship with a rounded out frame work of offense and defenses. Just enough space in the guts of the ship to allow for minor upgrades and quick deployment. ****
How can the Ranger class be a solid ship? It's outdated and week.
****-Concordia-
Here is a ship that had a strong defense with a weak offense. It's always on the defense in the game due to sabatoge or dumbass command decisions. I mean come on, haven't they ever heard of backup systems. Plus I only saw one true gun that it had. and even then you had to be pointing the bow of the ship at your target. No offense, all defense. ****
No offense, but that's complete bullshit. The Concordia has 8 AM turrets and the PTC, how is that a week offense?
