This increases the cost of an optimized soap bubble carrier from 43.5
pts
per fighter bay to 47-48 pts per figther bay (not including the cost of
the
fighters themselves, of course). Doesn't sound like a very big
difference
to me...
...and when a TMF 103+ ship has only 16 hull boxes, it still qualifies
as a
soap bubble in my book :-/
