Supercarriers are enormous warships designed to bring the power of an entire armada in a single ship. With massive ship-killing fighter wings, they can decimate most foes with ease. These carrier variants are often the most prestigious ships to serve on, with many captains fiercely competing for the position.
Characteristics
Supercarriers are truly massive, with even dreadnoughts sometimes struggling to compete with them. While they pack more guns than a regular carrier, their role essentially remains the same, hanging in the backline while their fighters do the work. Supercarriers usually send their fighters out in rotating groups instead of all at once, letting one group refuel and rearm while another is out on the field.
Thanks to their ability to carry thousands of fighters at once, a single supercarrier is often enough to lock down an entire planet. Any resistance is often met with a torrent of bombers leveling their cities as punishment. This usually leaves any population too traumatized to fight back, meekly surrendering as the supercarrier lingers overhead.
A supercarrier has one of the longest operational ranges of any ship, letting it stay out in space for extremely long periods of time. Some of them even come with specialized equipment for gathering resources out in the field, letting them stay out for a theoretically infinite amount of time. This has been used to great effect by many admirals, leaving their supercarriers behind to ambush enemy fleets who thought them long gone.
