Review/Analysis of the new Ships

The carriers are soft and slow as a balance to their squadrons being quite deadly, they also have a rail of pdws giving good defence over one side of the ship with fighters able to directly engage after launch on the other.
I've been one shotted by like that a few times and in endless mode the nukes can be unpredictably powerful. Your best defence is to charge your jump engines then attempt to salvage the weapon at a distance. That gives you plenty of time to jump out if it is a nuke.
