Idea on Capships, Bombers, and VHFs

[mjolnir]

The fact of the matter is the bigger ships would be seen abroad MUCH more often the the fighters. Just as many more people in the world have seen a U.S. aircraft carrier than one of our missle frigates or patrol boats up close.

Yes you are indeed right, they are seen abroad more... but NOT ALONE . Not without fighters to cover them from bombers and provide recon, not without bombers for long range strikes, not without destroyers (=GBs in Disco) to protect against submarines (=~ bombers in Disco), not without cruisers to protect against bombers or enemy surface ships (=GBs).

Yes I think they should be seen abroad with escorts in areas where they would be allowed - did you hear about Russia allowing US ships in its ports or territorial waters? No... then forget about BHG BS sitting above Manhattan. What other factions should have ships abroad? Pirates? yes, when they are mounting an attack, no problem. Then we have kind of ran out of factions don't you think?
(Note: Harvesters classify as pirates)

@Dab

Also Mjolner, your right. I didn't test Beta. Because I think using the current balance and changing it in this way would work better. Just because you already have an idea, doesn't mean I can't think of something different.

I thought I already explained you over there (and JInx here) that 95% of the ideas you wrote about here are already in one way or another.
