Dovecote

Overview

Light fighter tender: twelve strike fighters, six out at once, over a light turret battery

Slots and bonuses

6 high (2 L turret, 4 M turret) · 6 mid · 5 low.

• Turret L 2Turret mount · large. Turns on its own to track a target anywhere above its deck, so it keeps firing while you orbit or fly past. Takes size L: energy guns, mass drivers, missile launchers, point defense, salvagers, Seal Breakers, Splice Rigs. Smaller energy guns and mass drivers and missile launchers and point defense and salvagers and Seal Breakers and Splice Rigs fit too. A smaller weapon keeps its own size and stats: no bonus from the larger mount.
• Turret M 4Turret mount · medium. Turns on its own to track a target anywhere above its deck, so it keeps firing while you orbit or fly past. Takes size M: energy guns, mass drivers, missile launchers, point defense, salvagers, Seal Breakers, Splice Rigs, barrier projectors, nanite projectors. Sizes must match exactly (M), except energy guns and mass drivers and missile launchers and point defense and salvagers and Seal Breakers and Splice Rigs: a smaller one fits too. A smaller weapon keeps its own size and stats: no bonus from the larger mount.
• Mid slots 6Mid slot · shields and electronics. No mount restrictions: takes any mid-slot module. Barrier regenerators, amplifiers and weaves, thrusters, point defense, jammers, scanners, doctrine arrays, the shroud and guidance rigs. Only this class of hull can fit: Lightfold Cloak, Heavy Drive Tether, Drive Anchor.
• Low slots 5Low slot · armor and engineering. No mount restrictions: takes any low-slot module. Platings, nanite repair arrays, bracing, cell banks, hold extensions, augers and launcher rigs. One armor plating per hull.
• Fighter bay 12Carries strike fighters, launched and recovered in space.

Strike wings

12 strike fighters in 2 wings of 6. Up to 6 fly at once.
