Carrier fleets --- Strategic combat?

[Tomgs]

Also if you fire any missles I have noticed that a ship with point defence will rush toward you in tactical. In strategic I am sure the same happens. So any fleet with both missle and beam (or any ship with both for that matter) will make short work of any PD only ship.

Try throwing a couple heavy phased poleron beams on your Carrier even a light carrier is big enough for heavy mount weapons. That might be a surprise for anyone who likes to rush "unarmed" carriers. While you may not want to do this a lot because it eats up room for fighters it is a cheap and fast way to get heavy warships early.
