I also think that we should add maintenence costs to the economy theory, as stronger navies with hundreds of thousands of flying ships can't keep up with upkeep. This will affect huge navies like HYDRAXIS and prometheus, because with upkeep,this will force them to either decomission more ships or to grab more land to then use the land to make up the money (which then leaves the areas vulnerable). This also promotes surprise attacks on money-making areas to force the other navy to decomission ships if they can't make up the costs.
