Well, I've already written the next couple of vehicles - I would not post a fighter and talk about a cruiser if I wasn't sure the carrier is workable ... And before it becomes a bolo it needs to get a bit tougher. At a first glance, that thing is useful because it keeps people out of harm's way, and body bags are bad for re-election chances. So this is the naval equivalent of existing armed UAVs/UGVs. The Americans use this, it seems: http://www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=704 G:Ogre talks about naval ogres, but they're a lot tougher. I've thought a bit about a Bolo starship, too, but the Expansion rules on ultra-heavy structures are a bit restrictive.
