More carriers/fighter sinergies
« on: October 14, 2013, 12:48:23 PM »

Depending from how many flight decks you have in fleet, you can deploy fighter for less points (or maybe free).  Supplies for them should also maybe be lowered.
So if you have a fleet with 3 flight decks with which you start the combat, you can deploy 3 fighters for free, the others still cost points.

Also would be nice to have some fighter specific skill that you can chose when you level.

I like to see more carriers beyond high-tech capitals or slow low-tech/midline freighters.

And carrier/fighters represented in the skill tree, don't forget that.

These, but I think that both of these suggestions were already going to be implemented in time.

This.  I've been disappointed in the lack of carriers, and find it odd that all carriers, save for the Astral, have one deck, where the Astral has three.

Add me to supporter list.
Personally I would like to se some dedicated low tech carriers (current one is just frighter reffited into military carrier, so it is far away from being military grade ship) and... Yeah... Some hi tech carriers in destroyers group and crusers (with 2 flight decks) would be also awesome.

I like to see a high-tech speedy cruiser-sized assault carrier.  Something like an Apogee or Aurora that trades its missile slots for a flight deck.  In essence, a mini-Odyssey.  The problem I have with the Venture is it is slow and designed as a missile boat.  I dislike missiles and seldom use them.

Fighter/Carrier related skills would be really good.
Bringing back the old separate Hangar stat for ships and giving supply/repair discounts based on it would also be good. Or doing it with the existing Flight Deck stat (but it does make carriers sort of samey if they've always got the same flight deck number and hangar space) works too.

I'd also be nice if fighters were actually carried inside the Carrier and couldn't slow down the fleet in travel mode - unless of course you don't have enough Hangars or Flight Decks to carry all your wings.
