To me the camapign seems to be either very easy or very difficult depending on how many arnor ships you're given. In mission one I took out the Korath quickly and had to tech for ages to get enough firepower to take out the one DL defender. Not too much fun hitting the turn button over and over after the threat is gone.
Mission 2 the arnorian ship makes the Yor a walkover, just build transports.

Now we get to my main beef, if you start with more than one arnor ship how are you supposed to pay for the maintenance? You can destroy some or give them away but when you have three or more arnor ships you have to basically charge your objective to end the game before going broke. Maybe I missed a trick but with +50 total econo bonus and recuitment centres + other tricks I can't seem to get my pop up quickly enough to support those ships. Any ideas?
