Why a larger battlestar should carry more aircraft

Giving the Artemis and the larger Jupiter battlestar the same air group wastes an obvious advantage of the bigger ship.

Notes

Aircraft capacity should be a central reason to build a larger capital ship. Giving the Artemis and the larger Jupiter the same number of squadrons therefore wastes a force-design opportunity. These spacecraft do not have to fit through the Suez or Panama canals, although construction capacity still limits their size. If the setting can support a larger hull and external launch-and-recovery pods, the Jupiter should gain substantially more hangar space instead of duplicating the Artemis air group.
