Heracles Supercarrier

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Heracles Carrier is much larger than the default settings of the game will allow you to spawn using normal factory + blueprint procedures. In order to spawn the Heracles, you must have the maximum size class set to at least 58, or have appropriate permissions to spawn the ship using console commands ('spawnanyblueprint' or 'sbp' ). For more information, please conslut the wiki and/or your server admin.

The Heracles Carrier began with the goal in mind to simply make a really big ship and have fun with varied structural elements and cosmetic detailing while still offering a functional vessel that can serve a variety of uses. Featuring a main hangar and repair bay suitable for both HVs and SVs as well as an upper hangar bay for additional SV storage, you'll run out of friends before you run out of room to hold their ships.

The main hull consists of an armored glass inner hull, comaprtmentalized and pressurized throughout, and utilizing a 'straight line' design that means you can run from one end of the inner hull to the other without having to steer to avoid anything. The inner hull is surrounded by a closed layer of combat steel, and that closed layer of combat steel is reinforced by additional, layered panels for extra durability.

The ship is protected by a full array of turrets located around the hull to provide good coverage from any angle. It should be noted that due to the size of the ship, turret coverage in some areas may not be sufficient to ward off attackers. Get to know the location of the turrets, relocate them if you wish, and do your best to keep the highest number of turrets in range of your adversary as possible. The ship also has 6 pulse laser cannons and 4 missile launchers oriented at the front of the ship in a configuration that rewards accuracy by focusing fire on a small area.

The interior comaprtments of the ship include an oversized botanical section, utility room, three fuel compartments, a compartment for oxygen tanks, and one comaprtment for each of ammunition and general storage. Locations of different compartments are marked by LED panels located throughout the central tube.

This is not the most practical ship I've made, and if you plan on building it in a pure survival setting you will need an extensive resource gathering operation to supply all of the raw materials required. Nevertheless, it was time to go big or go home and we're still here, so it's big. Really big.
