Asbestos class Carrier

HOME ¦ BACK ¦ TOP ¦ BOTTOM | MENU ¦ COMMENT

Here is a carrier for the Salamander class Missile Fighter. As always, there are many trade-offs (I almost sent this in a 3000-ton version, but it didn't have much cargo space for all the missile reloads needed). At TL9 armor is very hard to add (8% of the ship for the first point of armor).

COMMENTS
The Asbestos class carriers support a wing of 40 Salamander class
fighters.  These carriers have a missile bay for offensive punch
and one battery of lasers and two of sandcasters for defense, though
they try to stay out of battles since they are not armored.  The 4G
acceleration with agility 4 are quite respectable for a TL9 ship.
There is a backup bridge which is normally configured to support the
fighter wing.  With an eigth of the tonnage available for cargo, a
large number of reloads for the missle-firing fighters are available.
Asbestos class carriers are named for fire-resistant materials.
