Pocket Assault Carrier (PAC)

Very nimble CV, designed to be a very offensive jumpship with a good punch, that offers respawn for your pilots as well as quite a few fighters docked on its outer hull.

Carries 5 pulse laser and 4 rocket launchers, almost the maximum guns allowed. They are positioned so maneuvering and firing will not cause your shots to hit yourself. The Pulse lasers kill drones with one hit and base turrets with two and the rocket launchers are for when you need to vaporize something at the corner of vision range.

Besides the deadly fixed weapons, there are 2 flak turrets, a 360° pulse laser, two plasma turrets to make short work of space drones and a minigun to take care of ground drones while not piloting (its a shame that most turrets don't work on Planets anymore and docked HVs will not fire anymore, since I created a matching dockable HV turret defense module for the PAC http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=803004015 - I leave it in the Workshop for now, in case the functionality comes back)

It has a medic and clone station as well as a warp drive. You can transport your 6 best fighter pilots and can dock a good dozen or so fighters on this ship.

All wrapped in several layers of bespoke combat steel, organized to provide optimal defense when approaching targets frontal from slightly above. Weakest spot is from above and behind, but you have awesome RCS capabilities and the construction is lightweight for the armor offered. Thrusters and RCS are mostly in the engine assemblies and you can lose 3 of the 4 assemblies and still retain full control of the ship. Fuel tanks are placed with separation and losing one should not result in a deadly chain reaction that kills the ship.

On top of that there are several maintenance shafts that allow to repair a lot of parts from inside the ship while moving. So this ship will do great when you have a few friends to help out.

Because this ship is so TINY, there was no space for a constructor or offline protection/gravity generator. However you can simply disassemble the warp core and plop down the offline protection when you sign out. (Or fit it into your base, since it is just about 11x9x22 L blocks sized (wings & ramp tucked in).

To offer lots of storage and some construction capabilities while on the hunt, I recommend to also get the Modular Storage add-in module from here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=776534078

Simply slide it in from the top with the boxes facing towards the rear, wait for it to dock, then toggle the RCS and thruster groups for 18 containers of storage, two SV constructors, 3 fridges and a oxygen station. This way you can easily resupply your wing of 6 fighter pilots in 2-3 sorties with the up to 15 fighters and 1 bomber docked on your hull.
