Title: Cain
Post by: BS403 on September 14, 2006, 11:54:02 pm: Did any one else ever open up the ships.tbl and notice that the Cain is supposed to be able to hold fighters. I was just thinking about why they never had it carry fighters.
The exact line says:
;; I added in this Strike Cruiser because I needed a ship besides the Cruiser, one that had docking
;; bays. This is a strike cruiser, it's faster and can hold ships, but at the expense of hull.

EDIT : Ah. It's in the FS1 tables too.

Because the docking ports were replaced with armor. Thus making it the thoughest little irrumator in the galaxy. :p

You took my words from my brain(and grammar checked them too)!!! :lol:

Additionally,the Lilith could be built 100% for combat and lack on docking/maintain fighters or bombers capabilities.
