The Zephyrus, Anuket, and Rahu are perhaps the coolest looking caps in the game.

"...caps..." as in capital-ships? They're not capital ships, they're support ships i.e. they support the combat fleet.

Most players tend to make a distinction based upon craft a player would concieveably fly (fighters, fightercraft) and ships a player would not concieveably fly (capital craft, caps, capship). This tends to lump some things into categories that appear odd.

[StratComm]

It's usually a crew distinction actually.  One to two man ships get lumped into "fighters" (the oddball exception being the support ships) while anything requiring more crew get lumped into "caps" at some point.  They do have their own class - miners - but no one actually ever uses it.

It just seems weird to me an Hermes, Elysium, Argo, or Triton could be considered a capital ship, especially considering Wikipedia's definition:

The capital ships of a navy are its "important" warships; the ones with the heaviest firepower and armor. There is usually no formal criterion for the classification, but it is a useful concept when thinking about strategy, for instance to compare relative naval strengths in a theater of operations without having to get bogged down in the details of tonnage and gun diameters. A capital ship is generally a leading or a primary ship in a fleet.

The thing is that fighters and bombers are treated very differently in the game from the way all the "capships" are. That's where the distinction comes from really.

It's a developer distinction rather than a FS2 universe one.

Meh. Tried something, didn't really work out. I may try a different approach.

i actually like this one, it looks very cool

my vote is for keeping it
