New Tech

I understand the need to try and make Freestars 1.0 as close to the current Stars as possible. I also wanted to start a thread that deals with (for good or ill) the possibilities of new tech by version 4.0 or something. Since I started the thread, I'll throw my hat in first.

I think everyone can see the similarity between Stars ships design and Earth wet navy design. Why not add the next logical element: Carrier-based spacecraft? I see it working something like this;

The Hangar Deck would be a new component that you could put on ships in a Mech slot (or possibly General). each Hangar Deck would support one fighter craft. The fighter would leave the mother ship after all movement is finished on the first turn. Fighters would attack targets based on their home fleet's orders and would be able to fire every turn. They could be shot down by beam weapons or torps and would be replenished between battles. Better tech would result in better fighters (bombers?) and eventually dedicated Carrier hulls.

What does everyone think?

"Fascinating Captain."
