@Starlight

Well the condor is fairly cheap and easy to obtain (in my opinion anyways) but its true that it is a bit of a contraint for what its main role on the field is: a flight deck that moves, its shouldn't be slated
"Fire Support" just because it can fire ONE poor vlooey of pilums but rather "Logistical Support" dedicated to Fighter support

The only problem is that the A.I. STILL tries to fight using it wich is an outright STUPID idea if anything, a damn carrier should hide behind beefier ships like good little boy and not try to be a *** meatshield...

IT COULD be easily fixed by giving damn standing orders to the ship but then again order-issuing system at the moment is anything BUT reliable...Or smart for that matter...

It has a decent armour and hull level, but the problem is it can't use it because it lacks the weaponry and speed to prevent a volley of harpoons from wrecking it.
