hiffano said:The Poseidon is in effect very similar to the drakh mo ship, in that once it launches it's ships, it's a very large number of VP (and XP in campaigns) floating around with little purpose apart from a command bonus (and fleet carrier for the poseidon). I think both need some work to make them viable in their own right (yes I know 8 raiders from a moship is amazing and pretty scary, but the moship itself is cack. but then look at the WS carrier, It's a good ship on it's own, and carries skirmish ships as well, although how a WS fighter is comparable to a raider i don'ty know! plus the WS carrier has fleet carrier to recycly the damned fighters)
The problem with carriers is that they shouldn't be amongst the thick of things anyway, unless ambushed or the like. Thats the whole point of carriers, you let the fighters do the travelling to the battle whilst the carrier stays along way away safe from attack. Carriers should be off board supoprt units really. After all in WW2 you didn't see carriers directly attack a battleship..it would get blown to pieces but its compliment of fighters could do it whilst the carrier stayed way way away safe from the battleships guns.
