Air Force/Navy Depate.

[9:51:41 PM] Greg (Ava): I can understand The Navy controlling Caps,
[9:51:45 PM] Greg (Ava): but then the Air Force snubs.

Unless there's a difference in their equipment, means - Air Force is using only atmospheric crafts, that have superior technical characteristics compared to the spacecrafts, there's absolutely no reason to create separate branch of the military that have same equipment and same goals.

But, if Land forces still exist, they can have their own planes for CAS and air defense missions. But I really doubt land forces play a significant role in a freelancer. You can always cover the planet with orbital anti-matter (A-M devices are stronger then nuclear ones, right?) bombardment.

But "National Guard/Interior Troops" etc, no matter how it called, can definitely use some CAS and "air force". Although they won't play much role in space.
