After doing some playtesting with the three options,
1) Poor Facilities
2) +1 Cap only with 2 fighters
3) +1 cap when with another Carrier of Cap 2 or less
Here's what we found...
- from a perception basis most people didn't like Poor Facilities just because of the name disliked Poor Facilities as it sounded more negative than positive
- No matter the name, poor facilities did work and represented the ability to have another plane (no matter the type) on board that was able to be utilized every other turn.
- The added downside people did not like about the Poor facilities was when their carrier was sunk with the plane aboard they didn't get a "save" for the plane.
- There was some feelings of being limited of only getting the +1 cap with an extra fighter, but it was offset by not having the unit getting automatically destroyed and basing the other non-fighters on another carrier
- The bonus cap when with another carrier of cap 2 or less was probably the favorite as it felt like forming a carrier group.
- The oddest pairing (when giving the +1 cap with another carrier) was with the HMS Argus (0 Cap)
- The most common (favored?) pairing (when giving the +1 cap with another carrier) was with the HMS Unicorn or HMS Eagle
- Surprisingly few people paired it with a expensive carrier over 15 points and we were playing generic red vs. blue
So, I promised some playtest feedback/thoughts and it's now delivered.
