Modding carriers

This page is for modding and specifically modding carriers. If you are looking for information on carriers within the base game then see the Fighter game concept page

Required for a functional carrier:

• At least one weaponSlots of the type LAUNCH_BAY in the .ship file
• A positive number for fighter bays element in the ship CSV entry

Optional for a carrier:

• Build-in wings can be defined in the .ship file by referencing the fighter with ID field from its wing_data.csv entry
• Build-in wings can be removed in .skin files but not added via .skin files
• Fighter bays in the CSV should be equal to or higher than the number of built-in wings. I.e. don't have 2 built-in wings and 1 fighter bay
• The relationship between the number of bays for different fighter wings and the number of fighter tubes where they exit the ship is unknown

At least two versions out of date. Last verified for version 0.9.1. Please refer to Version History and update this page.
