A Practical Carrier for Disco

[worldstrider]

It does sound like an interesting idea. However, if you have the bays just tied to dropping cargo, what happens when you run out? Also, things can fly out, but things can also fly in, right?

For example:

Carrier and support come up against a group of pirates.

Carrier: "Launch fighters!"

Pirates: "Attack!"

Barghest noob: Sneaks into carrier

Would the carrier take hits on the shield or hull from the subsequent internal SNAC battering, and what would happen if an entire fighter battle ended up taking place inside the carrier?

I'm making it a little tough to just "fly into" one. Guns will be concentrated about the bay entrance primarily and there is a narrow window to enter and exit. "Ballast" (the dropped cargo), can be re-tractored as soon as it drops. A cargo of several hundred should be more than enough...scrap metal being the most common to use.

If someone does infiltrate--then the carrier will have an interesting dilemma. Will be fun I am sure.
