Could be a working aircraft carrier...

Elite_Pirate

A theory:
Wouldn't it be possible to create a working aircraft carrier in TS by making a normal ship which deploys into a waterbound helipad. The helipad would be able to build the aircraft, and then you can just attack with that aircraft. It would also (of course) be able to undeploy into the carrier. It wouldn't even be close to the RA2 carrier, but it could emulate the effect quite good.

I've checked through the topics and i didn't find any research on this.

Now my question is, would this work?

that would work but the only problem is that the aircraft you bought for the pad won't go away when it undeploys

Well that of course, that would just be realistic actually. You could give the carrier BuildLimit=1 and the aircraft BuildLimit=3 for example, that way you won't be able to build too many.

good idea. kind of like the one I had on the TO forum:

One idea I've had that I put on the back of my mind for a while is a stealth naval unit that deploys into helipad.
-it wouldn't neccesarily need to [i]build[i/] aircraft, just reload them
-it could also repair them, as in a service bay maybe?
-it could be a CloakGenorator, but the CloakRadious would be minimal; only enough to hide itself and the aircraft on it
-the ship itself would be Cloakable=yes

you think TO could have somethinng like that?

I thought it would be best cloaked, because a building like this would be very vulnerable to air strikes

Don't worry, in TS:RO we have a pretty interesting way of making an aircraft carrier Wink

that's ll I'll say about that XD

Ya well that thread didn't pop up when i searched, and i searched for this several times. Hm anyway, are ya sure the helipad could repair the aircraft? I thought a helipad could only work as a helipad, not a repair depo at the same time o.O I have to test this, lol.
