Guys...FL universe IS about capital ships.

[Kambei]

I think battleships was in FL ment as multiplatforms carrying land troopers and space fighters with ability of bombarding planet and destroy another battleships or cruisers.

Cruisers were ment as support vessels for battleships, their duty is kill gunboats and assist to battleship against another battleship.

Gunboats were ment as cruiser suport - fighter killers and asisting vessels.

Main force are fighters because they are able kill any cap without problems if that cap havent supportive vessels.
