Ships Capital Ships - Closing the Gap between Fleet Carriers and Large Ships

Hey there!

Been in love with the Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser for quite a while now.

With the Addition of the Fleet Carrier a few years ago, and the upcoming Squadron Carrier in the Vanguard Update, I wondered as to why there isnt a smaller Variant of a Carrier.
Since most players are either unable or unwilling to pay the large sums of Credits that come with purchasing and maintaining a Fleet Carrier, a smaller "personal" Alternative would make sense.

This is where Capital Ships come in:

Capital Ships can close the large gap between Large Ships and the Fleet Carrier: By offering most of the capabilities of the Fleet Carrier, but in smaller amounts, such as

  • 200-250LY Jump Range (Stepdown from 500LY on the Fleet Carrier)
  • 7500 Tons Cargo Capacity (Stepdown from 25000T on the Fleet Carrier)
  • 2 Small, 2 Medium, 4 Large Hangar Bays (Stepdown from 4, 4, 8 each on the Fleet Carrier)
just to name a few.

I really hope that Capital Ships make it into the game, ideally roughly like this!
What do you think?
