So 4800 points of Carriers? Wow. You're right. I probably wouldn't have
had that much in carriers. Actually, thinking about it. I do have that
much in carriers, but they wouldn't have fit in the class restrictions.
I have a 2300 pt fleet carrier and the rest are all capitals too.

I think that would be a shame. No reason to force your playing style by
that kind of ruling. I'd rather come up with a fighter killer fleet :)
But then that's just me. I'd rather get someone on their own playing
field then force them on mine :)
