OK, as you might have noticed I am a supporter of the flagship idea among others like Capital-duty, so I figured out let's have a discussuion to make the flagship perfectly fit in the game or just discredit it if it doesn't work.

The flagship is supposed to be your personal ship (every commander has his own ship) which you could fully customise (the way it looks and abilities).
This ship is stronger than a capital ship, I am thinking twice as strong, but it should cost a fortune and there can only be one.
Despite being a powerful unit in it's own right it will still need the rest of the fleet to guard.

Each faction's fagship will be different from the other and has different stats and abilities, depending on the faction's play style and phylosophy.

Finally should your flagship be destroyed, it will be a devestating blow to your empire's moral. Maybe we should also add a period in which we must wait to be able to construct it again. This will make you want to protect it at all costs.

So what do you think ?
