Starcom Heavy Fighter Drone Carrier mk I

An Endgame "Fighter Drone Carrier" that uses the minimum research to unlock all default upgrade parts for ship building save for the Fighter Bay itself and maxed out heat vents.

Moves and turns like a mid-game cruiser, with Q/E strafing mobility to match. Not as fast or nimble as other endgame gun boats but we don't need to be, that's what your fighters are for. Great Void speed, I added a set of each void speed propulsion module for the ship.

Has some power issues but easily managed. You might have to turn turbo flight off or stop shooting, particularly when shields go down.

Has a great heat profile.

Also includes all mandatory modules needed for endgame missions.

Weapons are 2 Mk III Plasma Turret, 4 Missile Launchers and 3 Fighter Bays.

Defensive suite includes 2 Mk I Havoks and 1 Shield generator. The Plasma Turrets on auto-fire double as point defense cannons.

Spoiler equipment: Has 1 warp drive, and 1 gravity beam.

Strategy: This build was inspired by real life aircraft carriers and uses the same strategy. Launch your fighters and stay out of the fight, sniping with missiles and occasionally getting close to hit things with your plasma turret when not being used for intercepting enemy drones or missiles. Make sure you upgrade these 3 main weapons for range and accuracy.

Try dephased fission missiles and havok shroud with maxed cap fighter drones for saturation attacks!
