Burst projectors and doomsdays are not primary weapon systems. Fighters however are.
Deciding which capital should we Investing in (both time and money) is much more difficult than it should be. Dreadnoughts have the advantage of using the same weapons that are being used by subcapitals, so players become familiar with using them long before one would consider buying a dreadnought.
fixed that.
dreads are cheaper to field wont be perma jammed by an ibis, can’t be defanged, can carry more as a suitcase, can be fit to take on both sub cap and capital threats.
carriers can… well lock really far though the fighters are to slow to do anything about it.
oh oh they can get reps… not that it means anything if they are not contributing anything to the fight. Right i’v got it, in large numbers they can overwhelm ECM but at those numbers you could just be bring supers or again more dreads. I mean they don’t need to siege so they can hit and run! except jump timers slow align time and well blops fleets exist.
your right real tough call what capital to train for.
also as for getting familiar citadels and sisi exist
oh i knew i was forgetting something HAW have better practical application, dps, and don’t have to deal with extreme reload times
