I take it, then, that you are a proponent of the competetive point
system?

Anyway, this is not quite the same thing. Ligthning Strike recognizes
that
some ships are more valuable in a campaign environment than in
one-offs. This has nothing to do with any economic cost to build. An
extreme example would be an unarmed fleet supply freighter -- totally
dead
weight in a one-off, but worth its weight in gold in a campaign.
