Re: Bigger--not always better

One escort for each cruiser and one cruiser for each capital gives a
1:1:1
ratio. If you have two escorts for each cruiser and two cruisers for
each
capital it gives a 4:2:1 ratio. The problem with ratios is it makes it
harder to fit a fleet within a tonnage or point limit (or to set such a
limit). Not impossible, just harder.
