I'm not joining your navy.  I would assume that the enemy has fighters
as
well, or that space has other dangers that might test the structural
integrity of the ship.	Even an accident with your own fighters, perhaps
a
damaged fighter trying to land.

The other thing about forcing Hull points on carriers is that it reduces
the
number of fighters that can be carried, which should be a good thing.

I don't think any of my friends would conceive of building a soap
bubble.
The cost is too high in risk for the ex military gamers locally.
