• at the moment air is pretty weak on water (destroyers). that is less because of combat values of air units but because of the destroyer's ability to move and shoot from distance plus its repair ability of 2/turn, while air units needs to fly to an airfield for repairs
• carriers could strengthen overpriced bombers and widen their operational area/ increase their lifespan

         sub 0
         boat 16

defense 2
range 6-10
move 0
price 1000

• areal damage against (mainly low armored) units and big range would be an expensive but effective defense against a bunch of guarded artillery advancing against your launch site's position. (which is very hard to stem in the current game)
• cruise missile can hit empty ground to damage nearby units with its areal attack

Satellite
(HARD)

built in:
(Launch Site)

• single use device, removes shroud effect for several turns in target area (unit clears shroud and disappears)

         hard 0
         air 0
         speedboat 0
         amphibic 0
         sub 0
         boat 0

range 1-99
move 0
price 700

• if shroud mode was active, a satellite could be built and started from launch sites to reveal hidden parts of the map (or even the whole map)

Nuke Missile
(HARD)

built in:
(Launch Site)

example

• built not for attack but for victory points in nuclear domination mode: player owning all launch sites on the map equipped with nuke missiles wins.
• only available if nuclear domination mode was activated in game setup and map holds at least 1 launch site.
• has no ZoC

attacks
         soft 0
         hard 0
         air 0
         speedboat 0
         amphibic 0
         sub 0
         boat 0

defense 2
range 0

• increases even more the strategical value of launch sites: while you conquer launch sites and safe credits to build expensive nuke missiles, others try to stop you. this gives the nuke player an economical slow down. you need to save up credits for nukes, others must use them for an offensive.
