WHAT IS CAPITAL WAR ABOUT

You begin with a capital factory instead of the frigate factory and you can only build capital ships. The supply levels have been changed accordingly. You still need capital ship crews and fleet supply to build capitals but the max. amount of capitals is now 25 beginning with 2 crews.

Alot of balance changes already have been done and will be done later.

This mod doesn't work with the AI. They build a capital and sit at their homeworld.
