But the argument is that the gunboats firepower is equivalent to a small starship.
Which is why I chose a fleet carrier instead of gunboats. IF gunboats could get worked out and fit for both fleet and squadron by corporate (i.e., SVC, et al) then I would like to play them, but I am not going to hold my breath on this one. _________________ HoD K'el

So is the close-range firepower of a squadron of Stinger-2s.
Gunboats don't have to fit the exact mould of ships or fighters - they can be unique.
Oh, and to re-raise the question - would MWPs be thrown in with gunboats, fighters, or put somewhere else? _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

Most likely there will be no fleet scale gunboats. You will just have half as many of the same-size gunboats in fleet scale. With so many "single box" systems, I don't see much choice around that. I also don't much of an issue with it, either.
As far as tenders go, again if tenders are necessary, I imagine they will simple scale along with how gunboats are implemented. _________________
