I agree until a certain point. You are right that we rely on our fighters/bombers primarily, in order to win the war against liberty. And it would be pretty idiotic to get into this war with huge and expensive capital ships only. As we know from the history of Rheinland, tossing in dozens of large green bricks will end in a desaster. The Sigma 13 incident showed this.
But that doesn't mean, that there is no room for additional utility vessels. We have already some hospital-prison-hybrid and a repair ship. I see some more need for exploration vessels, MND utility vessels and so on. It don't need to be the big guns, but some more RP spice to the soup would be adorable.
' Wrote:I would like to see Rheinland get a dedicated carrier - either filling the battlecruiser slot (like the order carrier) or a light battleship role. They rely so much on fighters and bombers that it makes sense for them to have a carrier that doesnt cost as much to move as their battleships do.
Actually the Rheinland battleship serves as a carrier. All neccessary parts like hangars and starting bays are within the huge hull.
