Is "BattleCruiser" a relative size? -- discussion

[Soulfisher]

Sorry Chief Erax! My personal feeling is that carriers in original SEIV are good only for transporting fighters into a new system (and still have the ability to launch them). I just read too much into what you wrote.

I would think the game would be better if fighters (and therefore Carriers) were stronger than they are against capital ships. Maybe a PDG weapon mount could be devised (limited to Destroyer class vessels or smaller) to make those ships better at destroying fighters than capital ships are. The AIs would then have to updated to create an "anti-fighter destroyer" ship and to not use tonnages greater than XXX for this design.

As for my initial reason for starting this thread, most people seem desirous of some sort of relative ship-size scale.
