Interesting idea, but I'd set up for ships up to the destroyer size. They're a bit more flexible and will make this sort of the game more fun.

I'd allow warships up to destroyer size, light carriers, medium transports, colony ships, and starbases up to battlestation.

However, I would also trim off large fighters and large weapon platforms, as they might each in their own way pose too great a challenge to ships of destroyer size or smaller.

It sounds like a GRAND idea for a game, mind.

If you allow light carriers, they'll be used as warships. Half fighter bays still gives you 400kt weapons space, and enougg size to use Huge mounts (IIRC, at least Large)

You could create a 300kT "escort carrier", or increase the fighter bays requirement of carriers to something like 75%...

It's huge mount, and they would RULE against destroyers. They rule in a normal game until the other player gets LC's. Against even numebrs they even kick LC butt, but LC's are cheaper by a decent amount so it's hard to keep even numbers using carriers.

Allowing carriers would most definetly break this idea.
