On the other hand, you may want to remove the Light Carriers (and the following hulls) from the other Factions, since this hull packs quite a lot of punch for its low research cost, and doesn't require any kind of Ship Construction research.

The Light Carrier is about as strong as the Light Cruiser, with slightly less free space, but more hitpoints (leaky armour anyone?) and basic transport abilities, so it would make a rather good hull until the endgame when Battleships and above become the norm.
