D C4-02 Fire Duck (T4 Combat Explorer)

Description
CV CPU Tier 4, Unlock level 25

Roles: Heavily armed combat explorer

Your ship was destroyed from heavily armed enemies? You are tiered of running away? Then Fire Duck is your ship. Her low profile is hard to hit. Nearly every each inch of the hull is covered by turrets. 85 turrets annihilate most enemy ships with in seconds. Face the ship’s front to the enemy for maximum fire power.

Use the cannon turrets located on the underside to disarm planet based POI.

Vital devices are located in the middle and rear protected by an internal cage of combat steel. Thrusters and fuel tanks are located in the “wings”. Even if the front part is lost, Fire Duck will still fly and bring you back home.

The small foot print allows landing on uneven terrain.

Ducks Nest is the companion of Fire Duck. As a mobile base Ducks Nest stays behind the front lines in space or on land. Store your important vehicles and staff in Ducks Nest before heading out!

Features:
- 2 advanced constructors
- 1x 320K storage
- 320K ammo storage

- 6 sentry guns
- 6 Pulse Laser
- 26 rocket turrets
- 20 Laser turrets
- 15 cannon turrets
- 14 plasma turrets
- 4 artillery turrets
- 6 rocket launcher
- Full combat steel hull with internal combat steel cage around middle and rear.

Easy Docking:
Ducks Nest and Fire Duck dock easily to each other. Once docked you can either fly with Fire Duck or Ducks Nest. Some of the pictures show both ships docked to each other.

Why going over the device limit? In times where Zirrax use ships with more than 100 turrets you need counter. Especially in single player.

Note: Please disable device limit in the game settings or spawn Fire Duck via “sbp” command in.

@Funog I'll give it a try, thanks!

@leonardo76 Check Carna Duck out, my brand new ship: Link
Carna Duck is able to load HV and SV. The fire power is similiar.

@Funog Ohh thank you, I guess, I'll have to spawn it (with sbp or in creative) to check that :)
(did not have the materials, to spawn it yet...)

@leonardo76 Since Fire Duck docks with the hanger door on Duckst Nest there was no room for a ramp. Ducks Nest has a ramp for HV.

Looks interesting with all those guns, but I miss the ramp from the back, to easily enter with an HV.

@darknight76, Thx for the kind words. If you play as single player you can enable the repairs of CV with the CV repair bay. Change one line Block Id 1131 in BlocksConfig.ecf. Replace the line "repairs" with "Repairs: "MS,SS,GV", display: true". "MS" means "CV". The usual game rules for repair bays still apply such as no parked vehicle inside the damaged ship. The repair bay is located on top of Ducks Nest for a reason. ;-)

After Funogs advice on the docking issue I've used these ships for a bit now. I have to say the combination is quite intriguing. with them I have a truly mobile base and combat ship and together its the best setup for exploring that I have seen yet in this game. The only draw back, and its a game mechanic and not a ship issue, is that every now and then I have to drop a space station and so I can repair the combat section after a nasty fight since I cannot repair the combat section with the mobile base section. I'm truly loving these Ducks!

@darknight76 Thank you! It is a base game issue. To you Ducks Nest as a carrier, dock SV/HV and Fire Duck to Ducks Nest. To Use Fire Duck as a carrier, dock all ships to Fire Duck. You can fly /drive from Fire Duck through Ducks Nest to the exist door in the rear.

Quick update, when a SV/HV is docked to the nest it will not dock with the Duck....

I built both the Duck and Nest, so far I'm loving them. However I'm having a rather peculiar problem. I can't seem to get any SV or HV to dock to either. I'm sure its a stupid thing I've over looked but I can't seem to figure it out. All my SV/HV and both Duck and Nest are set to Faction. All HV/SV will dock to faction set land base, but they won't dock to the Duck/Nest.
