[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ahkileez: [QB] Well a heavy carrier like this would not be a long-duration ship. One way of keeping her from being a 'supership' is to have her need a lot of support. She's got those four huge impulse engines, one or possibly two (some people theorize) warp drives, her complement of fighters and shuttles - all of that is going to eat through fuel like crazy, especially if her engines concentrate more on power than efficiency. Add to that the fact that in full berserker mode she'd go through a torpedo complement like a pirhana and she would be on a shorter 'leash' than explorer ships. Ark Royal is the anchor ship for an operational wing of a task force. She's the heavy hitter/carrier in the lot, but also the command ship for it in keeping with the modern role of carriers. But that wing also carries support ships to keep Ark and the other ships topped off, move crew around, etc. It was my way to voluntarily kneecap the Akira a little so it's not all fanwank-driven.
