    Eric, the Crew Decks are set up with four copies each of ten different cards--one deck will fully load four ships, or if you don't want to deploy with full upgrades probably a few more. Personally, I prefer the "Alpha Strike* with Spares" model, having enough to load EVERYTHING for bear all at once with some extras in reserve...
    *Vietnam War term--certain high-value targets required Presidential approval to strike, this was the "Approval" or "Alpha" list, so on the rare occasion you got that approval, you cobbled together everything on the hangar deck that could fly and loaded it down with as much as it could carry, and threw it all at the target at once. Which was SERIOUS when you consider there were typically no less than SIX carriers on Yankee Station at any one time...

    Thanks for the info. Where did you find that info about the Decks? Did I miss a thread on here or on Ares's site?

    Don't remember if it was public comment or private message, but I asked on KS.

    It's some where in the KS comments. If I had the time, I'd dig through all of those and pull out all the "data" and post it in a thread here so we could keep track of it better.
