Carrier cruisers don't have an onboard weapon and rely entirely on other ships and their strike craft. Carrier capitals have decent weapons, more strike craft, and abilities that vary by faction.

Strike craft overall seem to be getting a boost in the next patch, with carrier cruisers faring a bit better.

Before anyone complains about yet another carrier thread: This post seems to come from the Sins OT forum, not the GalCiv one.

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, Kitkun's answer was a pretty big give-away there

GalCiv doesn't have carriers, right?

Yep.

Still, maybe the forum could add a line to the ORIGINAL post. Something like 'posted from www.sinsofasolarempire.com' or something like that. There were quite a few flamefests when it became clear that 'gaming' and 'OT' posts were shared between joeuser and galciv2.

Especially if topics like this keep popping up. This one was easy, but the last one about ship sizes / classes was truly misleading.

oh sweet there are carrier capital ships?

If you are asking about Sins of a Solar Empire, yes, each race has a capital ship carrier. The name will vary, but it's the second ship from the left in the capital ship construction window.

If you are asking about Galactic Civilizations, no. There are no carriers, no intent to ever add carriers, and no way to mod them in. It's been discussed to death and there's a stickie post for this specific topic.

For future reference, posts like this should go in the respective game forum, not Off Topic. Or at least indicate which game you are asking about - the Off Topic forum is shared among all of Stardock's websites, not just limited to the one you are posting from.

TEC has the Sova Carrier
Advent has the Halcyon Carrier
and last but not least the Vassari have the Skirantra Carrier
The Skirantra Carrier is probably the best one because of its repair cloud ability which can repair all freindly shis and strikecraft within a certain area

o sorry im new
