Poll: What bonus ship types need to be more useful for the player?

[zleorg]

What do you mean by Base Ship Cap?  I get the concept but not where it's coming from.  If I start a game with different Unit caps settings then I get fighters at Ultra Low - 24, Low - 48,  Normal - 96, and High - 192.  Although your tool-tip isn't correct it's showing Low - 49, Normal - 98, and High - 196.

Is that base ship cap then Mk I + II on Normal or just Mk I on High?   

I was getting really confused since when I was checking the ships out on the planet selection screen they were showing the caps for using the Low setting.  Then I'd start up in the Normal caps and get a different number.  So then I thought I'd compare 2 ship types at the same time as I was checking out the different cap settings.  Those then came up twice as big as I had saw the first time... (I did figure that reason out though)

So...nothing's wrong, just went looking for one answer and came back confused but nothing new there.

* Grenade Launcher, in honor of winning BOTH polls:
** From having no vs-hull bonuses to having 3x vs Light, Composite, CloseCombat, and Swarmer (same as the Flak Turret, which is basically a stationary grenade launcher).
** From 80k+20k cap-m+c cost => 70k+10k.
** From 30k cap-e cost => 20k.

(same as the Flak Turret, which is basically a stationary grenade launcher).

Good stuff.
Flak Ts. + Lightning Ts. + Tractor Ts. + Force Fields <------> Grenade Launchers + Fighters + Riots + Heavy Bombers

In know on paper the grenade launcher has gotten a massive boost, but until swarmer ships are balanced so they are not just a box of tissues to soak the tears of my cpu I don't think they will truly shine.

The grenade launcher will also counter fighters (Light hull type).
