Converted Hangar

Up to date for latest version, 0.98a.

Overview

Converted Hanger is a hullmod that can be installed on any destroyers, cruisers, and capitals, except for phase ships or ships that already have proper fighter bays. Commonly referred to as "CH".

Notes

• Adds a Fighter bay to the ship.
• Fighter replacement rate decays and recovers 1.5x slower.
• Increases fighter refit time by 1.5x. For bombers, time to rearm is also increased to 40% of modified refit time.
• Increases minimum crew requirement by 20.
• Increases Deployment Point cost of the ship by Ordnance Point value of the fighter wing divided by 5 rounded up, with minimum of 1.
• Ships with Vast Hangar receive no penalties from Converted Hangar and gain 2 fighter bays instead of 1.
• Ships with Design Compromises can use Converted Hanager to gain a fighter bay, even if the ship already has existing fighter bays.
  • The ship receives no penalty except for the DP penalty from equipping a fighter LPC on the extra bay.
