Aerospace Combat / Re: FC Naval Command Decision
« Last post by Alan Grant on Today at 05:47:58 »The scenario you laid out, to me, is a LOT less about what to do with the Foxes, and more about the question of "Where are we going to get some battleships or battlecruisers? Because we're going to need them...." (as you count up all the Clan and Combine heavy cruisers/battlecruisers/battleships that are out there now)
From your description the Clans are preparing for the possibility of mass warship engagements, and even just a star of the Jade Falcon/Wolf Black Lions with a Texas in the lead will be devastating, and the Combine's new battleships are a problem also.
The F-C would be forced to find their own. Whether that's the Mjolnir or something else. That's priority 1.
No Destroyer, original Fox, upgraded Fox or replacement destroyer, can really overcome that problem. The FC still needs a viable destroyer to have a balanced naval force that can fill a variety of missions. But getting a battleship or battlecruiser online, and getting about 4-12 of them built is far more important, and the F-C is very behind on that.
If it helped to move toward that goal, I might even temporarily suspend other naval production until this goal is met.
