Likely what Andrea said, it can be deployed en-masse next turn to help out with the air war.

Let's not give it stupid names that sound like they have been forced by bueraucrats that have no idea what they're doing.

It's just propaganda.  We just want something we can point to and go "Look! Moskurg and Arstotzka working in harmony!  We're not so different at all, stop lynching each other."

Did the Yellowjacket roll a 1 behind the scenes?  Because it wasn't mentioned once in the combat report, and I seem to remember it inexplicably doing nothing in the previous game.
It's currently the same cost category of an already existing superior plane, so it didn't get used. It'll go down a cost category in the next turn while said other plane will not, so we should then.

And changing my vote to the Archer.

Typically the first ship in a class has the same name as that class. So the first Archer should be named Archer. And if possible, subsequent ships should have thematically matching names.

Is "UFS Pirates Get Out We Will Shove A Sorraia Down Your Throats" thematically matching

Then we should have named it Unity, not Archer.  If naming a ship something inspiring will give us a better chance of preventing a civil war then we should give it a try.

Edit:  Also, "Tiger Star" is a waaay better name for a carrier class.  Once we build something akin to a Lexington that should be the class.

We should make them named for heroes of the last war. The Husayn, Char, Zhuyev, and so on.

Also, I'm sort of opposed to the idea of destroying the identities of Arstotzkans and Moskurgers. Our differences make us stronger!

The occasional friendly riot is nothing to fear.

Who are you calling a separatist? Say that to me again when we're in a designated rioting zone and see what happens!

No one is saying we should erase our identities.  That's not what the word "unity" means.

We're not eliminating their identities.  Just shifting it down to secondary, like membership in a political party, while Forenian becomes primary.
