Issue: Not every faction has access to carriers - or other capitals, for that matter. It also makes small hunting parties of snubs practically useless against groups with a capital. I'd say capitals should not be made more effective against snubs. Expendable fighters can more easily kill expendable bombers before a capital goes down anyways.
Oh.. And with weaker snubs capital spam will become even more annoying. Should have some sort of cost associated with fielding capitals. Maybe some "fuel" disguised as "ammo" that you have to buy in order for your power core to be > 0 that costs, say, 100 million credits and is lost on death. Death penalty isn't a popular thing, I know, but it'd be necessary with weaker snubs or everyone will just spam gunboats and caps.
