What planes besides the Orion class can carry fighters/have a launchbay?

[Goober5000]

Typhon, Demon, Lucifer, Arcadia, Faustus.

Faustus? o.O
I never noticed, that the Faustus has a fighterbay...

It uses it to primarily launch escape pods (e.g. Plato, Einstein), but yes, it's still there. Good catch, Goob.

[Amon_Re]

So no Fenris & Leviathans?

[Nuclear1]

Not that I would imagine.

[Amon_Re]

Grmbl grmbl..

So, basicly, the smallest fighter carrying craft in FS1 is the Orion?

[Shade]

Yes. But you can do whatever you want in your missions, just make up some excuse that half the weapons were ripped out to make room for a few Hercs or something. It's done all the time.

Yea, but without launchbay, that kinda sucks 
Guess i've got no choice but to use an orion for my idea then

You could use one of many user mods
a Small-medium size Ship which fighterbays?

[Shade]

You still do have the Faustus. That it doesn't carry fighters normally doesn't mean you can't make it, and it gives you the launch bay. You can even use special hitpoints and alter the turret loadout to make a bit more of a warship out of it, and perhaps give it an Alt name to indicate the modifications.

Hmmm... not a terrible idea really, i'd need to take a closer look at it

That's also possible ^^

[Dave2040]

Could someone post an pic from the fighterbay of the Faustus?

Planes ???  lol, sorry man it caught me unaware thats all.
Which mission has the Faustius launching fighters, its been a few years since i played through FS1...

[Dave2040]

I think it's the mission, when the shivans first appear.

[Nuclear1]

The Faustus never launches fighters. The Faustus launches escape pods in two different instances: Out of the Dark, Into the Night, when the Shivans first appear and the destroy the GTSC Plato; the other is in the second mission of Silent Threat, when the player destroys the GTSC Einstein. The fighterbay seems to be on or around the center of the ship, near the solar panel.

Naaaaah, the PLato drops an escape pod as it has to ensure the avenger prototypes survival not from a fighter bay either mind you , but the fighters (you and alpha wing) are do a standard fs start. The pod is just flagged  in In the arrival cue they use arrive near ship, instead of subspace + arrival distance from ship-gtc einstein <100 or omething to that effect. Thats the one with the PVC Taurus right? the only plastic bull in the whole saga

Yes, it does launch from a fighterbay.

The Loki is the only fighter small enough to not look funny coming out of the Faustus. If you think about it it makes sense, a research group aquires a Faustus, and realize it's defenseless in pirate infested space, so they put in a loki to do their bidding, it's kinda like Descent 3. Anyhow, use a Loki, or if your in the mood for humor, use an Ursa.
