T.N.F. Assault Flight Station 'Charlie II'

A Charlie II type station is designed to be a base of operations for a flight of assault craft, comprised of two Super Raptor (S) light assault fighters, and two Vulture light assault bombers. When pacifying criminal worlds and strongholds, the Fleet moves assault flight stations into the area, so that their assault craft can be used in both attack and interdiction missions. Secondary tasks may be to fill the role as communications relays, resupply stations, forward operating bases for warship squadrons, or mission control centres. Charlie II type stations can easily orbit planets using Reneners’ Orbital Autopilot and Map script.

The Super Raptors’ missiles are guided by Rdav’s Guided Missile Script, and will accelerate towards and intercept any enemy that the fighter has locked on to. Upon impact, the missiles’ warheads will activate and detonate. The Vultures’ missiles are guided by Whip's Optical Missile Guidance Script and allows the bombers to manually guide their missiles towards a chosen point of impact. Charlie II stations are equipped with a missile reloading platform, so that the assault craft can quickly and effortlessly reload their main weapons.

The station has an engineering floor with production equipment to produce its own ammunition, components, hydrogen and oxygen. It also has a drone bay, containing a Ceres Mk.IV Mining Drone and a Welan Mk.III Utility Drone for resource gathering and repairs in space. If attacked, the station has several turret types as means of defence, but it is not designed for prolonged combat. To bolster its destructive power against an attacker, it has a missile rack with active homing missiles. They can be fired from the control room when the lock-on alarm is sounding.

Features:
● Carries two Super Raptor Mk.I (S) Light Assault Fighters and two Vulture Mk.III Light Assault Bombers in its four hangars.
● It also carries a Ceres Mk.IV Mining Drone and a Welan Mk.II Utility Drone for resource gathering and repairs in space.
● Three Jump Drives with a maximum range of 1702 km.
● Several control room stations with displays showing the ship’s status.
● Solar panels and various production equipment for prolonged independent operations.
● Docking arms compatible with all T.N.F. ships and stations.
● Contains fuel, ammunition and components – tested in survival.


Known issues:
● If the station has an unbearably negative impact on sim speed, first turn off all the scripts. If that is not enough, disconnect the smallcraft and delete them.
● In order to minimally affect sim speed, the Floor Plan and LCD 2 scripts on the assault craft are turned off. They will turn on when a ship leaves its hangar, and turn on when it enters.
