what's the diff between all the carriers?! they all carry fighters, some more some less, have no antiship capability, lotsa peewee turrets and heavy but useless armour!
Exceptions: Cerbures has a plasma gun but not much imagination about using it
That's because we don't know that for sure. CVX could be a mega carrier - or it could merely be an experimental CV, as Phoenix insists.Originally posted by Wedge009
BTW, no mention of the fact that there's no 'mega'carrier either.

I'd have to say none of the above. I favor strike carriers. You know, Bengal-class.

... and what about a GIGAcarrier ? Well, it won't be a carrier but a station (a jumping station...)

If I were a fleet commander, I'd prefer to get just a fleet carrier with maybe one or thwo escort carriers. The megacarriers are too big, and too heavy... so that their YPR rates are awful... and what about a GIGAcarrier ? Well, it won't be a carrier but a station (a jumping station...)
