![]() Of course, this does not really matter since I do not plan on using carriers of my own in this test. In this case, the changes after gifting the ships are the increase in HP (due to race traits), and defense specializations. It turns out that due to specializations and what not, the fighters automatically reconfigure to match its owner. To make sure that the stats of the ship did not change after trading them over, I also gifted all of my techs to the Altarians. Same as above, but all fleet buff and debuff modules, as well as repair, jammers, and 3x Nightmare torpedoes. Also, extra HP to makes the carrier more durable. I could stack a few fleet support modules, but I decided to make another carrier just for that. The percentage boost from fleet support modules are insignificant since the fighters are so weak anyway-even weaker than tiny sized hulls. ![]() Why the torpedoes you ask? Because 9 carrier modules leaves me with about 49 capacity points remaining, which is not enough for anything significant at this point. The type of test carrier that I created is as follows. Keep in mind that these carriers were made to hold as many carrier modules as possible. So I loaded up on of my end game files, created two fleets, both with endgame techs (including precursor techs), gifted the fleet to another faction, enabled god mode, and attacked each other. I am using God mode to initiate the battle. In this map, I just happen to be allied with everybody else except for them. Since I was too lazy to start a new map to fight against myself, I am using the Altarians as my guinea pigs. I am playing with a custom faction, but no other mods or cheats are in effect (besides god mode for necessary reasons). I am testing this on an old map that was played during the late version of 1.3, upgraded to v1.41, and then resumed just for this test. This leads me to wonder how they would fair if the settings were parable? Of course by late game, any one of my ships can easily steamroll countless fleets of carriers, but at this point, my tech is usually more advanced than the AI. Either I will just barely win with most of my fleet gone, or my fleet gets wiped out just after barely managing to destroy the enemy's carriers, resulting in mutual annihilation. During mid-game, fighting against a fleet of carriers where both sides have a comparable number of same-sized ships and techs usually result in heavy losses for my side. The only times that I struggle against carriers are during mid-game, which I define as prior to unlocking all of the weapons, defenses, and hull mastery. I for one have never felt this to be the case, but I have never fought against AI designs that were comparable to my own. So I decided to do a test to see whether carriers are truly as over-powered as so many people claim them to be. Updated in Post #25 due to popular suggestions for more gameplay realistic ship designs. I added direct links since the pictures were not displaying correctly for me.
