Since the Fleet Book ship design system encourages just that - fleets 
consisting of very few, extremely large ships - something appearently *is* 
badly wrong with it. My question to you then becomes: should we leave it 
badly wrong in this way, or should we try to do something about it?

The problem is that with the current Fleet Book rules those "other 
missions" rarely appear in gaming, and heavier ships are generally more 
help than lighter ones when defending the fleet against fighters and light 
ships :-(
