It's an escort carrier with a bit of armor and a stylish swallowtail-shaped stern section. There are no guns on this thing, so it relies on its fighters (or the rest of its fleet) to fend off enemy ships. Name: [ Kite ] #Batteries: [ 3 ]--x4--> Energy: [ 12 ] #Reactors: [ 2 ]-------> Regen: [ 2 ] #Engines: [ 4 ]-----------------x50------------------>Thrust: [ 200 ] #Comp.: [ 30 ] + Width Penalty:[ 10 ]---------->Drag: [ 40 ] [Thrust] / [Drag]--------> Movement: [ 5 ]

Fancy, but very fragile amidships where it has no armor.

A good point. Let me take off some of the bulkheads so I can pack things a bit closer together.

Any ideas on how we could improve on this ship's design now that we won't be as limited in size? This ship doesn't seem to be able to do much once it's fighter fleet has been completely destroyed and is fairly vulnerable to attack should an enemy ship get close enough to engage it.

If I wanted to keep this same basic design? Take the sections above and below the middle row (with the port and starboard shield generators), move them up/down one space, and stick the guns in there.
Things might have to be shuffled around a bit more to accommodate extra engines to keep its speed the same. It could also use a few more batteries and reactors - this thing was designed when fighters only took 1 energy to launch.
