Hi CBJ,

I just noticed that the Steam advert is the same as it was back before 2.50 was released. Mentioning in case you wanted to update it for whatever reason.

They carry drones. I love that.
Fighters were too frustrating to lose and too hard to replace.

Whilst I tend to agree with both points, I don't think this is an example of a good thing about Rebirth carriers since virtually all capital ships have a comparable drone capability.

If ships like the Taranis could only carry, for example, 10-20 drones, and/or carriers had bonuses to drones (e.g. like drone-focused ships in Eve Online) then non-Arawn carriers in Rebirth would be a lot better. Currently, they seem only half-implemented and not very good.

I also want more specialization in combat ships.
