Moloch style fighterbay on GTVA Corvettes?
Just wanted to know what everyone thought about this, we all know that the Moloch has a fighterbay (and that it appareantly doesnt do anything :P). Would the GTVA benefit to make a corvette with a fighterbay too?

I mean it could be something like the Sobek on weaponry, armor, etc but with a new design (a bit larger) and with the fighterbay capable of holding a wing of figthers (the best would be something more all around like the Myrmidon), I say this because I dont think a Deimos would be able to carry the same weapons and add a fighterbay.

Since it would essentially have its own fighter cover all the time, it would free up other wings deployed from destroyers to do something else and it could grant it a more indenpence role (i.e: being able to strike enemy targets by itself and operate more indenpendently from the main fleet).

So?

A note: this is just about corvette class ships, not about a ship like the Iceni, that's a frigate. ::)

There are ships like these in the Inferno mod.
I'm pretty sure that someones also modded one too, just not with your specific design points.

Yeah, there's the GVCv Geb and I think that it has one. Unless it was removed.

And IIRC SA's Udjat had one too...

Re: Moloch style fighterbay on GTVA Corvettes?
Because of the design, I dont think Fighter bays are really managable on the GTVA corvettes, espicially the Sobek.  Deimos might work, but you have to wonder if GTVA fighters are VTOL capable.  Also, Iceni strikes me as nothing more than a slightly over-gun/armored Corvette. ::)  And even then, a bomber wing can turn into scrimshaw.
On a side note, what happen to ngtmn1r?

Re: Moloch style fighterbay on GTVA Corvettes?
Why would they need to be VTOL capable? If they got a fighterbay on a Deimos they would have to clean a lot of space and the first thing to go would be weapons (like those rear anticap beams) where in the Sobek, it just needs to be redesigned into a somewhat larger ship to accomodate the bay.

On a side note, what happen to ngtmn1r?

Did something happened to him?

Assuming (which is reasonable) artificial gravity, there may be a runway issue with regards to launching or landing (decelerrating) ships.  I doubt it'd be a problem, myself.

No runways on the Hecate.  Doesn't even have a decent-looking fighterbay.  If you want to add fighter-carrying capabilities to a Sobek, I suggest bolting it on to the underside of the ship, like a ventral tray.

He wanted out of a project internal and accidentally had all his permissions removed, including his one to exist.

The SOCv Ehreos is a nice example of corvette that has a fighterbay.

Ehreos? Is that one from Inferno? Anyway, if there is someone who would undoubtely benefit from this is the SOC. Does anyone have a image of it?

GTCv Oculus has a fighter bay. I think I got it from Hades Combine through a link. :confused:

I was talking of Inferno actually. I know it's on HC.

Um... I've heard you can fly through part of it, but I'm not very sure. The paths are also mixed up (number 1 of wing should be at a different place because they just collide together).
