I recently finished a game in which I finally used more than just a few capital ships. After this novel experience a few aspects of Capital Ships caught my eye. First they are all the same price. Second the Marza Dreadnaught isn't much of a Dreadnaught. Third the Sova has Missile turrets and yet it fires lasers.

The capital ships need to be more varied especially in price since they each have different strengths and weaknesses, and lets face it, a dreadnaught should cost a hell of a lot more than a Kol, not to mention be at least twice as combat effective. As the Marza stands now, its a "long-range" specialist that has less range that the LRM frigates and specializes in planetary bombardment, even though it deosn't seem to do much more damage than say six krosovs which cost a hell of a lot less.

As for the Carrier, not only does the artwork on the carrier seem to support missiles as opposed to lasers, missiles would fit the Carriers role much better since it is supposed to stand off and be the f/b's platform of operations, not go mix it up like a Kol.

Also, I know that all of the cap ships get strikecraft at some point depending on what ship it is. Since this is the case, could the textures/models have flight decks/hangars on them for all the capital ships. Preferably the hangar/flightdeck artwork would coincide with the max # of squadrons the cap ship could field. I.E. the Kol would only have two hangars instead of three since it can only field two squadrons, and the Marza, Akkan, and Dunov would have hangars showing as well.

Anyone else agree, or am I just being critical
