New Ship for Xpack

[Flameseeker]

I read someone in another thread "wanting carriers" and I thought, good idea. Carriers were massive capital ships from StarCraft, that launched flights of damaging tiny ships, and pretty much just owned everything. Now, on to my point before I forget it!

Aircraft need a mobile repair point. The carrier could be a large ship with docking bays, and you were repaired in the bays. To defend it, it could also have turrets on it. The downsides would be it was slow, and anyone within a 5 mile radius would launch a phoenix at it. Give it 10 slots for a Reaver or Skeeter, and 3 slots for a Galaxy. This would be cool.

Certainly sounds cool. You could watch a battle from the skys.

But it would put more of a focus on air combat. Not that that's a bad thing.

Pretty cool idea, wish it were more original. I don't think it serves that much of a purpose though... It'll only make aircraft stronger, and in my opinion they're strong enough as it is.

[RCB_Ghost]

Not really. They can run out of ammo. And those phoenix rockets are a bitch.
This way instead of flying back to a base (if you make it that is), you can fly over to a carrier. But like I said before, it does give aircraft a bit of an edge, but not much.

Heh... chances are, if they ever make that water vehicles explansion, there will be aircraft carriers on the water.

But the only way u can repair things away from base is...i suppose be an engineer as well :-P

1-4 per server,. then it might would work

Require some major cert points, like 4-5. Only 12 available on the Planet at a time, with each side getting a max of 4. Every time one goes down, takes another day before you can grab another. Only available at Sanctuaries. Also, maybe you could actually walk around in it, and fight. Fly your Galaxy into the bay, and hijack the ship. Possibilities are endless....

Why would i want to get into a big ass bullseye like that? Pop that sucker into a continent and all of the enemies will come and blow the thing out of the sky..

Secondly, introducing limits on vehicles will just promote llamaness....

Concept is nice tho, for a water exp ie floating carrier or a space expantion imo.

Carriers would be cool, but if you have any boats at all, imo, you have to have the ability to move from one island to another without using warpgates. If you have something like a carrier, you would probably, in the end, have to get rid of the warpgates all together.

Best thing to do is hust wait and see how things go about. Its an ok concept but i think it should be like this.

1) They should be more like small battle cruisers that carry their own 2 man aircraft, one pilot, one gunner.

2) It should be slow but not that large. It should fly pretty high in the air as to be able to avoid much attention. People would still be able to see it but the weather formations should cover it.

3) the biggest it should get is about 5 of those 2 man aircraft (10men), a pilot and a navigator. No need for gunners and other stuff. So a total of 12 people which is roughly galaxy type cargo. But since it carries aircraft it should be 1.5X to 2X as big as the galaxy.

those are my opinions.

ive got an idea- a GIANT ship, thats like a flying base, that you can land on and everything, it moces really slow, and has upper guns, but no lower weapons, and it flies really high, so it can only shoot at enemy ships trying to attack the top, which will be the aircraft carrier, and it has all of the ships,
