you can deploy 30 kites for the same amount of fleet cap as 1 paragon
I won’t lie, that doesn’t sound like a good idea, since only being able to field 1 capital alone would have capitals as a class useless since a capital would have to solo entire fleet to stay relevant(something only the Ziggy can emulate truly)
It would probably be better to add a soft limit that makes it so you can field max say 5 caps before having sever disadvantages perhaps, or simply 1/2 with an escorting fleet(also something that needs to be fixed, the escort command not being able to select specific ships and just picking the closest ship to guard)
Anyways, there is already a “soft cap” on fielding capitals; say you field 30 paragons. For one, you’ve probably wasted 25-30mil getting those paragons, not to mention the costs of getting weapons for them. They would guzzle around 2.4K supplies monthly which would cost about 240k a month. Not to mention the sheer costs of putting them into battle, would strain the finances of all but the richest tycoons(not to mention that not even waystations could support said fleet for more than a few battles per month).
