Ha ha didn't know you were on this list :)
In that case only one little suggestion....
Can you put measurements by some of the ships.
Thought I was getting a Normal Carrier and 2 escort carriers. instead I
now have a Fleet carrier and 2 
Normal carriers!
Just as well I ordered lots of fighters :)

I disagree. As I have said before like any war it will come down to
cost. If a space fighter armed with 
some heavy weaponry is one 10th the cost of a medium classed ship then
they will exist.

Maybe not launched but for landing I believe it to be quite a valid
option.
And I have never seen the fighters in B5 land back in the station?
Anyone got an episode where they show the fighters getting back into the
launch bays?
