A low-cost Carrier
A common configuration
A strong pirate fleet
A GalCop fleet
Double cargo with effective escort fleet

When this addon will be finished then players can build up an escort fleet within a main ship. Currently a few Carrier models are ready with various ships on board. You can do a test flight but the escorts are decorations only until the scripts will be finished.

Description

The hull of Carriers is barely fit into a standard 64m x 192m x 250m dock, together with the carried ships on decks.

Main decks

Side decks can hold a pair of large ships up to Anaconda or as many smaller ships as can fit into the 2x140m long decks, for example 4 Asp, 6 Fer-De-Lance or 8 Adder.

Top decks on the front and over the middle engine can hold ships with less than 35m height, 130m width and 95m length: Cobra Mark III or smaller ships.

The top front position acts as a command bridge: Commanders in this ship will be able to steer the Carrier and launch immediately without undocking. In this case the Carrier is a large escort bay under the Commander's ship.


Extended decks

Must buy additional equipments to utilize small surfaces for holding light escort ships.

Forward decks: on front for two Adders (30x52x15m). You can use these as additional shields on the carrier if not launched.

Center deck: on the neck for many ship types up to Asp (65x95x29m, so Krait and Cobra Mark III can't fit). This deck is lifted over the others to avoid collisions with big Anacondas in side decks or long Fer-De-Lances in front or aft top decks.

Aft side decks over side engines: hold small escorts (65x58x15m): Adder, Gecko or Sidewinder. If you are so skillful then you will figure out why the length of this deck is exactly 58m.


Cargo

If you have 6 Cobra Mark I on board then your total cargo capacity is 110t, but you will not see this in one piece.

You will be able to switch between your ships when you are in a dock but you will see one cargo bay at a time.

If your goal is a really big trader ship then gather enough money to buy two Anacondas into your carrier.


Instructions

In Oolite v1.79 or later do not unzip the .oxz file, just move into the AddOns folder of your Oolite installation. In Oolite v1.77 make a Carriers.oxp subfolder in your AddOns folder and unzip the .oxz file into the newly created subfolder.

There are savegames in the package, copy into your oolite-saves directory if you want a test flight.
