Ship Tiers and Balance Discussion.

I think the issue is that lower tier ships have no purpose after you unlock higher tier ships. Since I’ve unlocked them, I pretty much have only used the Valhalla, the Liberator, the Armada and the Resolution (when going with drone/bomber spams) none of the other ships are worth it.

Maybe you could limit the size of fleet by a point system, rather than arbitrarily 3 (though the ship modification UI would probably have to be changed so you’re not cycling through 9 ships). Let’s say you have 9 fleet size points. Small ships take 1 point, medium 2, and large take 3. The goal would be to make a small ship fleet higher damage than a large ship fleet, but less survivable.
