Please let it be a carrier.
I don't know why but I like the idea of a Thunderchild carrier.

I do indeed think Carriers are ugly. Also, I am a member of the school of thought who believe that in Space Combat fighters are pointless. I'd rather carry more armour and weapons.
stevep(2) IMO, and that is from the standpoint of an outside, non-British or American observer, the ARW was a war for independence wheras the ACW was just that. I refuse to recognize the CSA as a legitimate state and anything but a bunch of rebels fighting to maintain a repulsive local practice.
It would be a shame if he didn't.
He... May not be... Great... At... Speaking,... But it... Sure is... Funny!
He was a candidate for Governor General, did you know?
The version I heard was after Little Big Horn a lot of the surviving Sioux, including Sitting Bull, escaped to Canada where they were told they could stay as long as they obeyed the law and didn't cause any problems. He did something and a single Mountie rode into their camp and arrested him. [It might have helped of course that the Sioux knew if there were problems a lot more would arrive and they had no where else to go].

Not to get too OT, but I think that if you have to attack space stations you might as well use something that can stand off and take some fire. Because frankly, I believe that missiles of some sort would likely be the main weapons of space combat. Missiles with seeker heads.
space stations don't move. as such any sufficiently large rock will do nicely to kill them. worst case need to stealth the rock some to get it close enough in you cannot stop it.
How come the British have larger manufracturing base then Germans and Soviets combined?
In comparison there was an independence conflict in 1861-65 where a distinct geographical area sought to govern itself but was brutally suppressed by the central government. [Not to ignore that the issue the war was in many ways about, slavery, is morally repulsive].
from what i've read slavery was not really much of an issue in that war until the north seized on it as a propoganda tool. it was more a case of whether the feds had the right to dictate to the states which according to the vision of the founding fathers it most certainly did not have. despite the entire issue of slavery i'm forced to conclude the south had the right to secede.

rather more a case of the colonists and their what have you done for me lately attitudes. they were perfectly happy under british rule so long as the french threat hung over their heads. once the british removed that by taking quebec it didn't take very long for the british attempts to limit settler incursions into indian lands and the very idea of paying taxes made fervent "patriots" out of a lot of colonists. you know the richest people per capita in the british empire were the 13 colonies at the time of the insurrection?

Exactly. So why bother with fighters when you can just use a few Torps from those nifty DNs floating about out there?
