Love carriers... hehe.

The easiest thing I can suggest to avoid appearing excessive with ship numbers is to not state the total number of involved ships until your all done the war... just keep a kill list. This is all the ships losts in your conflict you can confirm kills on. I kept a list of names of every ship I listed as destroyed in the Xindi Conflict, along with average crew compliments of each and death toll of battles, then based on estimated that the Coalition lost around 30% of its ships. By doing this I can estimate that the Coalition has around 1300 ships at its start. I also knew that some crew could escape a downed vessel, so I added a random number percent to calculate those that could get off board... on average I kept that average low... its war after all.

This seems like a lot but I kept it in a handy dandy excel doc (if you like we can extend access for that to you). As a side note, I put the total Cylon fleet at around 105 vessels at the start of the war and only confirmed kills on 5... the number can go higher on those I haven't named yet.

And go ahead with power armour but always be kind to the infantry... for every superpower suit of armour the marines boast, leave some pretty guns the army can haul out...
