i wracked my brain to try and come up with something for carriers that still had a drawback, but came up empty, perhaps if i sit and think for a while with a cup of tea i'll come up with something, perhaps a modified strikecraft that replaces all other types. EDIT: Moved data to new post

Maybe a more powerful type of strike craft that takes up two slots instead of one?

Prototype Strike Craft
(Requires replacement of all Squadrons. Carrier only.)
Corvette Squadron
Corvettes are the largest strike craft ever produced, and the most versatile, able to engage both capital ships and strike-craft with their ion-pulsar turrets. They have an advantage in that they can bypass a ships shields, and do not need to return to their carrier after an attack. Their main flaw is their slow speed, leaving them open to direct fire from capital ships. this countered slightly by their ability to carry their own shield generator, although even this may not save them if they are unfortunate enough to face the full fury of an enemy ship.
3 Craft per squadron (each Squadron takes up two bays.)
Armed with Ion Pulsar.
Short range, can engage any target.
hull
1/1
Shields
1/1
Torpedo Bomber
Large, bulky and sluggish, these British Aerospace Craft replace the old plasma missiles with a full size Torpedo, these craft can make even a lone carrier a serous threat to enemy ships by bolstering their parent ship's torpedo volleys while remaining safely out of range of any interceptors.
4 craft per Squadron
Equipped with
1 Torpedo

I would take them, but I don't want to lose all my other squadrons.
Idealy I would have:
ESM Pod
2x Point Defense
Corvette Squad
3x Torpedo Bomber Squadron
2x Intererceptor Squadron
But it seems I can't, unless I have read it wrong.

Sorry, only one prototype squadron type allowed, and they replace all others. but, like all other Experimental kit, their drawbacks can be removed after prolonged use, and in your case once your ground crew get used to these prototypes, the old types can be reintegrated into the ships roster.

Eagle, you can't take the giant cannon.. or at least until Harrab rules otherwise - Destroyers are meant to have 2 Ion Cannons minimum, after all.
Thing is, the cannon is nice, but it really isn't versatile enough.. and how many hard points do each of these actually take up? It says they replace X Y and Z, but if they're only a certain number of hard points, surely we can add other equipment as well?

Eagle can take "the Rods From God" if he wants, he'll just become a one trick pony, in that it'll be all his ship would have, (also it'd cease to be a destroyer, as they are defined by the unique mounting of their Ion cannons, the Havoc will become a cruiser) Offensive Weapons take over all the weapons (Torpedo launchers, ion cannons and the like), defensive take the point defenses. both types take launch bays, (these spaces are used for Ammo production and storage, or data monitors and heat sinks in the case of the stealth generator) So Eagle would benefit more from a defensive system, as he only loses a launch bay. EDIT: The reason they take up so much space is that they are untested and not exactly optimized for use yet, you are also entering in a contract of sorts with the company that developed the system, in that your devote so much to the system in order to better data gathering of its capabilities, prolonged use of the system will reduce these drawbacks as your crew makes sanctioned adjustments . As the RP progresses, i'll inform players when such adjustments are made. in summary, its possible that your ship could return to nearly its current state, with the benefits of an optimized and side effect free experimental mounted too. ALthough it will take up some space. Oh, and the Vanguard will be taking corvettes.
