Question about battle support

[Hyperion321]

Let's say I'm fighting a guy who I finally got down to 0 zero ships that can break a blockade, and I want to do BS, but I want to wait until the next update when I can quad to actually do the BS. If I set the BS on him now, and he rebuys a ship that can break a blockade between now and the time I attack, does the battle support go away?

Considering the nature of the game I don't think it does. I think blockade breaking ships only prevent battle support from being used, not undo existing battle support. But I could be wrong.. it's a good question.

it seems 99% of CN nations never buy any navy ships?

why?

they are so expensive and so totally ineffective?

I mean, if you fight another nation, who has no navy,
if you buy navy which is so expensive anyway,
what extra help can give you in the battle?

I have no idea how to use cruisers, landing ships and so on
in a battle, and what good are they?

thanks

Well the extra aircraft from the carriers are more than useful in a nuke war,
max carriers + FAB + FSS means over 100 fighters, and even after being nuked a significant number survive, enough to make an enemy bombing mission uncertain of success, defeat 2 incoming escorted bombing runs and thats a significant infra saving

But then you need other ships to protect the carriers and others to protect them, the ability to battle support is a bonus
