Description
Just a few race is capable of resisting the Insectoids on the way of their expansion. However, if the victim flatly refuses to surrender, the main argument of the aliens enters the battle.


Supercarrier is an incredibly powerful carrier ship that can stand aganist an entire fleet and turn it into the field of scrap. This vessel embodies the power of the Insectoid race. The entire body of this monster is covered with heavy armor that protects the main cargo: a standard assault group, consisting of three Insectoid Corvettes. The main propose of the Supercarrier is to deliver fragile Corvettes to the heart of a battle and protect them from enemy fire during deployment and preparation for attack.

In addition to the three main assault ships it carries, the Supercarrier is also equipped with all means of intercepting fighters, the main threat to Corvettes. On each of its gigantic tentacles there are rapid-fire turrets that make it impossible to attack the ship from below, and in its sides there are special compartments that produce fast and small kamikaze drones, specializing in intercepting enemy fighters and firing eight drones at a time, which makes a reciprocal interception almost impossible. Each drone detects a target independently of the others, which, in case of a battle with large ships, allows them to attack in several places simultaneously.

Interesting fact: The tentacles can be easily shot off from this vessel, but they're can shoot even when severed! In addition to it, tentacles in this state recieves a 360° firing angle, so be careful!


IMPORTANTS:

— By default, this ship is equipped with three Insectoid Corvettes. Link to the Insectoid Corvette build itself: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2396514027&searchtext=

— Insectoid Supercarrier is a very big ship with many subgrids, so it can cause lags on not-so-beefy computers (like my one lol)

— To release the Corvettes, you need to open a Main Hangar ("1" button in the hotbar)

— For start shooting Kamikaze-Drones, just enable a Welders group in the hotbar (drones will detect an enemy faction grids and start releasing automatically).

— This build is fully vanilla, require no DLC's, but not survival ready.

— "Thruster damage" option needs to be disabled.

— If, after undocking and going to the Battle Mode, one of Insectoid Corvette ship isn's autofiring its drones when enemy in 800m range, then just press "recompile" button in settings of programmable block named "Stinger Launch".

Hope you enjoy ;}
