Cool... The next level (strength 9) is where particle beams start being useful.
Cool, I get to play with soap bubbles and get vaporized.
For reference, I tried armoring one of my FAC designs. On a 800t ship, 5 layers of armor don't do much. Got pulverized by 3 strength-6 missiles.
BTW, is there a naming theme for FACs already? I haven't noticed one.
So far, FACs just have serial numbers... like Fighters.
For the FACs working with the Fleet, I'm hoping to prevent or reduce FAC casualties by keeping them within the PD screen... typically only launching them in order to fire, and landing them immediately afterwards. That gives a Carrier thirty-two or more ASM tubes, compared to six for a Heavy Cruiser of the same tonnage!
