Johnnymarr's doing a great job keeping things straight with quotes from Larry.  How about everyone throwing him a +1?

How do we give +1's/-1's to people? I have not seen a button to do that yet....

I think 1-1-2-16 sounds good. Carriers did have defenses against planes but not really against other ships, that is why I think the original 3 defense was whack. I think the best solution should be 0-1-2-15, either that or what I mentioned above.

that is pretty good

If Carriers still cost 14 but take 2 hits to destroy, then they would be more useful as hitsoaks than as fighter deployers, even if you need a Port to repair, and even if they have no real combat power.  They would be either take 2 hits at 7 IPCs apiece, or 1 hit for free per 14 IPCs worth of Carriers.

Maybe they should have it at 1-1-2-18, but declare that after 1 hit, only 1 Aircraft can land on it, rather than none?

idk..I think that would get abused. especially by america.

I agree with the higher cost. I don't agree with planes landing after 1 hit.
