Carrier Titans

[OnyxAbussos]

I'd greatly appreciate Carrier modules for Titans.

Perhaps a fully-carriered Tutan would gave a combined layout of... 8 H, 8 PD? Or whatever number. 10+10? 6+8? Whatever the balanced number would be.

When I play Devouring Swarm and some other Ethic-Personality types, I want an unbearable number of Strike Craft and nothing else.

I think the ones that fill the role of carrier capital ships is the juggernaut as they do have a lot of strike craft as well as a mobile shipyard.

Damn, imagine making a Juggernaut as part of a fleet like it was a Titan.
That would be great!

And being able to have more than just one serious carrier platform in your empire.

Granted, you can make a strike carrier fleet of battleships with a carrier module in the center and the X weapon in the front... but it doesn't have the FLAVOR of a serious supercarrier.

Like if you could make BB's with say... 4 or 5 H slots and a few PD's (and nothing else), that would be really nice. But like... CARRIER TITAN... doooood...

1. Yes.
2. But you only get 1 per empire. And it moves at the speed of ketchup.

Assuming Titans keep their Perdition Lance, a slot-balanced load out would be 1 Lance and 6 Hangars. That would probably be weaker than existing Titans, however.

What if it lost the Perdition Beam and converted that into pure Hangers?

Well, the Titan takes 16 Naval Cap to a Battleships 8, and the 6 large slots it does get corresponds to the same 6 large slots the battleship gets, so a "fair" conversion would hold that 1 Perdition Beam = 6 Large slots equivalents and thus 6 more Hangars.

So you could justify up to 12 Hangars onto such a Titan. For Each Hangar you gave up, you could get 4 PD based on standard slot exchange rates.

WANT.
I dont care if it's less effective.
I want it for megaflavor. Giant 12-H Megacarrier. The PD is left for the escorts, like in an earth type naval supercarrier. My Hive Queen needs to eat xenos by spewing out space-babies who go nom-nom on your ships.

I'd love it if the strikecraft was fleshed out into a full tree across all tiers of the game, like Energy and Kinetics.

• Bring back bombers for BB+ sized ships (give them a "Heavy H slot" or 2 regular H slots or something IDK)
• Extra H slot segments for larger (BB+) ships
• an option for 1 "Light H" (Light: strikecraft in a squadron) destroyers
• ... the option to build "FTL Equipped" Strike-squadrons - a la Empire at War - as an alternative to corvettes (so you'd build a "squadron" and it'd come with 8 ships moving & FTL-jumping as one - any would be replenished, if shot down, during a repair).

For as much as I disagree with the last 2 points, this makes me think of something:

We have a lot of S, M and L weapons
However we have very little choice in X, T weapons and almost no choice in G and H

It would be great to have more choice. For example you may use all 3 variants of G weapons, but all in all they are the same.
