Carriers

A space carrier is a warship with typically more than two flight decks and facilities for carrying, maintain, arming, deploying, coordinating and recovering space fighter crafts, and it serves a mobile space base. It is usually the biggest warship of any fleet, a superior capital ship, as it allows any navies to project space force anywhere without relying on local bases for staging major operations. Carriers are extremely expensive and valuable addition to any fleet and it is important to provide protection to them. With their size that can easily get very close to the 2 kilometers mark, Carriers should never be underestimated, even if you face them with your own ships from that class.

Additional Information
Carriers, as their name suggests, can field a huge swarm of AI Fighters which can, depending on their type, quickly focus down single targets. Those Fighters will be the cannon fodder, so expect to spend a lot of money on rebuilding your fleet. However, you will quickly notice their great advantages in the bigger battles. They are the most expensive class, but are mandatory for any powerful Warlords and Empires. The first ever deployed Carrier, Tzar, completely surprised its enemies who lost more than 60% of their fleet in a single battle. It was soon obvious that this class would be the biggest threat in the Gemini system for many years to come.
