Re: [Spaceships] Missile shield vs. ramming: two questions
Quote:
Two common phenomena in naval architecture are big for the sake of big ("mine is bigger than yours!") and ships which have to serve multiple functions (the galleons of the Indes were treasure transports and armed to fight off filthy heretical pirates; an American aircraft carrier is a base for land operations and a weapon of naval warfare). Both can be reasons why there are ships bigger than a rational in-game analysis would justify, let alone our amateur analysis through the foggy mirror of the rules on a lazy Sunday.
