well it depends on what u want to do, and how u play... the big massive
carriers are great for system wide/ planatary assualt support ( some have like
8 fighters on board ), but they are slow and do VERY poorly in dog-fights
against ANYTHING... I personally like the heavy crusier class ( Garid
specifically) because they are smaller and faster, and do very well in both
space combat against fighters and larger carriers, and can do planetary basse
attacks without getting creamed in 5 mins... also they don't have any fighters
that I have to worry about and pilots I have to keep re-cloning everytime I
turn around... on the downside, they only support 10 marines total and 5 system
engineers, so intruders can be a big problem and repairs/upgrades can take
longer...
