I had this in the artifact thread and then decided it distracted from the message. Also kinda get why Herb got so upset in the previous thread. Still not the best course of action imo because what you said was valid and now no one can read it.
Anyways
I don’t use carriers unless I feel the game cheated me because I consider them cheap and ridiculously overpowered. It would make me excessively happy to have the ability to turn that tech off. Or just a carrier fix. I’d be fine with carriers if they were like Starcraft carriers or civilization carriers where you either have to build interceptors or stock the carrier with ships you built from shipyards. As it stands carriers just have no drawbacks. They aren’t so cost prohibitive that you can’t field dozens of them if you choose.
