Carriers

from Stardock Forums

This might have been brought up already as I don't read all the forums, but I keep going back to MOO and the carriers.  I want Gal Civ III to have carriers.  A ship that comes later in a tech tree that carries a bunch of little fighters that go out and attack.  This was so much fun.

Carriers will be in the game, how they will work we haven't been told.

Quoting Frogboy, reply 38
Those who like the idea of designing carriers and seeing carriers in action in fleet battles I think will be happy.

Just to be a little bit more precise, the above quote is from here.

Hopefully one day people will do a quick Ctrl+F "carriers" before posting...

One of the greatest features of Galactic Civilizations is the ability to design your ships.  Should a carrier be a ship later in the tech tree or a module like for the Troop Mod to add to your ship?  If you make a Hangar Module, you can design your ship to include this feature.  Depending on the size of the ship, you can add more hangar modules.  The hangar module should provide a number of small craft depending on the size of the ship.  Even Enterprise, a cruiser size vessel, had a hangar module for shuttle craft.  A hangar module would allow medium ships to have one or two small craft and a large ship to have possibly two or three hangars to allow a couple dozen fighters like Battlestar Galactica.  A hangar module concept also provides the opportunity to have it on star bases or death star.
