8MCb Gaia Carrier - 8 Module Helios Compatible Carrier For Reforged Eden (RE)

The Captain's mind drifted back from a daydream of a combat command. The short bridge officer with the irritating voice approached. His least favorite part of the day: daily reports.

"Captain, the next batch colonists has arrived."

The captain made a grunting noise indicating he heard the officer.

"They did so much better than most have recently, but the Magus they were piloting wasn't well equipped."

"Well, at least they made it." The captain said curtly attempting to end the conversation.

"But, Sir, I have a long list of requests from the container captains. All seven have come down with some sort of fungus, or something."

The captain's mind drifted as the report turned to personal fungus. He listened to the docking latches of the eighth cargo module, a second dropship, resounding through the hardened steel hull of the Gaia.

"...And so they were hoping to have their feet looked at in one of the medical wards." continued the officer.

The captain waved his hand and nodded his head, and breathed a sigh of relief as the officer walked away. They were almost away. Almost ready to begin the voyage. The Captain's younger brother had gotten the enviable assignment to the Tridia and had already scouted and charted the course, and now, it was his turn. At last, his to tame and explore the frontier.

The Novacorp 8MCb Gaia Carrier RE is a T4 (Core 8 when fully upgraded), 8 module carrier. The Module bays a sized for JRandall's Helios series of small, standard, and dropship sized modules. It can hold 6 Standard Helios modules, 4 small modules, and 2 dropships. It was designed for my co-op server, which tends to prefer RP aspects and immersion. Because of the audience, this has been equipped with a large amount of amenities, both practical and decorative.

The Gaia boasts a landing deck larger than the MCRN Leviathan, and similar maneuverability to the Helios. Besides a restaurant, gym, pool/lazy river, and several lounges and apartments, there are a large number of practical amenities:

- 320k and 151k Container controllers
- 320k Ammo controller
- 320k Harvest controller
- 3x full medical suites with first-aid stations scattered throughout
- Large boarding ramp for HV deployment
- Dedicated elevator for separate modular control tower CV (See required items)
- Several small internal landing pads
- Multiple Bridge locations and a central teleporter very close to the central bridge, cockpit, medical suite, etc.

The internal hangar corridor is wide enough for jrandall's Phalanx Siege tank, so it is relatively roomy. There is decent internal storage space for vehicles, but most would need to be on the flight deck or in a dropship. This carrier has a full compliment of solar panels, and dedicated room for shield couplings and other expansions.

Another shameless plug: The final photo is a size comparison with a number of ships including a Xeno-hulled carrier I'm experimenting with. So far it has better armor, better CPU and better maneuverability, so that one may be in the future.

A word on stats:
- Roll 51, Pitch 16, Yaw 15 (not 100% happy with this, but it will do for now)
- 1,755:50 running time with thrusters on, in space.


***The RE Thruster capability make a 4 gravity planet impossible, you will need some kind of heavy lifter or dropship module.***

Credit where credit is due:
- Thanks to JRandall for the modular carrier idea, though perhaps not his original idea, the Helios is the first and still the best I've found.
- Thanks to Sulusdacor for the floating engine pod design from his A10 Grimson Carrier
