Krillos Combat Ships Carrier (late game)

This is my take to bring up a fully optimized/compact powerful Krillos combat ships carrier (+ the dock to auto-resupply it when landed) to bring hell on the mean urso! (meant to be efficient, not pretty!)

It's a late game design, which means it should be strong enough to fit your deadliest needs. Once built, you'll just have to link the few dock's Mass Drivers (and give them resources inputs of course) to the carrier's ones in order to enable automatic ressuply of the ship once it's landed.

Have fun with this huge beast! :p

(early game Bats/Knights Combat Ships Carrier counterpart: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3337651829)

Features:
- Firepower: 880 Krillos combat ships at once, which allows to fight huge strength boosted ennemies from afar with ease!
- Sustainability: Supplied to rebuild up to 1650+ Krillos on the fly
- Survivability: 2 front/sides armor layers and up to 61.8hp/s regeneration
- Speed: 281.5m/s
- Fuel: Supplied for up to 36.7min of continuous flight time when burning 2.4s resources (e.g. Ice or AI Controller Circuit)
- Resupply rate: 8x 720 items/s

Blueprint recipe:
- {10 Stabilizer Artifact}
- {5 Radiator Artifact}
- 28 Connector
- 30 High energy Connector
- 16 Large Cargo Hold
- 24 Mass Driver
- 4 Junction
- 10 Logistics Bay
- 5 High Density Station Core
- 140 Strut
- 2 Radiator
- 11 Heat Exchanger
- 19 Solar Panel
- 36 Antimatter Power Station
- 98 Antimatter collector
- 9 Overdriver
- 6 Advanced Ship Assembler
- 44 Defense Platform
- 4 Exploration Center
- 268 Armor Block
- 18 Triangle Armor Block
- 103 Repair Center
- 12 Rocket Adapter
- 1 Small Command Core

Hints:
- Face up the ennemy and do not move forward too fast! You want for your armor layers to take the hits while the combat ships do the job, so don't expose the carrier's center/rear parts by advancing through alive ennemies.
- Keep the blueprint! Got anything destroyed? Simply land the ship anywhere and paste the blueprint on top of it to have the destroyed parts built again in seconds! (provided you got the required structures in your inventory of course)
- Remember to regularly stop moving during fights to save the fuel.
- Ice makes a great fuel as it's an infinite resource burning at a 2.4s per unit pace, but I found AI Controller Circuit to be a good one as well untill Ice is unlocked (as Silica is not used as much as Bauxite/Iron early game).
- Set up a Landing Zone close to the dock for easy resupply; You just have to make the Mass Drivers links once! Fly the ship whenever you want, then simply select the Command Core to "Enable transit" to the Landing Zone and the links will be automatically restored (and resources resupplied) when at reach. (disable the transit to be able to fully control the ship again)

Notes:
- You'll need to fight a few urso to get the Stabilizer/Radiator Artifacts but it comes pretty fast actually.
- In my humble opinion Defense Platforms (ships) have greater range/firepower and use a globally less space-consuming design than lasers (but require some components to rebuild dead ships, not that much considering you should fully automatize your resources inputs though).
- Some (all legit!) design tricks are used; e.g. connecting some structures to Armor Blocks with Struts in order to greatly reduce their stability cost, further enhancing the available stability.
- As I play in pacifist mode, I don't use any Signal Dampener to reduce ennemies attacks on stations. Please feel free to adapt to your liking.
