Yeah, I'm not above making new components. The issue is that light cruiser launch bays are already S1. A frigate would likely be built around a launch bay, retaining that S1, so its other weaponry would likely be limited to the anti-strike craft guns from before. I don't mind - in most games, carriers tend to have good AA to support their aircraft.
Between these three ship types, it is a completely new adaptation to fight completely new enemies, which is perfect. It's using carrier-based warfare against enemies that line battles can't be used against. And that's not even considering the shield ship and stuff that I've been mulling.
