Ah but thats the point it has to be balanced in some way otherwise 
it would be a bit too powerful. However it would be usefull when you
are being swarmed by fighters and don't have any brood ships.

Hmmmm.	This would allow smaller ships to lauch fighters but it would
use a
lot of their biomass.  Also since they do not have a womb, they could
not
recover the drones and this biomass is lost for the whole scenario
without a
chance to recover any of it like a carrier could.

I hope someone is collecting all of the alternate pod ideas.  It would
be
nice to have one place (Sa'Vasku Central?) to find all of the various
pods
people have thought up and are using.
