Description
The Krait-Class - later referred to as the Kestra-Class in its mercantile configuration - is an assault carrier capable of fielding 6 fighters from its networked landing pads, but is able to additionally field several more if parked elsewhere on the flight deck. Designed to function with the MCI Orinoco Mk1, the pads are perfectly spaced to utilize up to 5 of these runabouts. However, the Mk2 cannot be stationed on the rear pads.

Functioning as an assault carrier is not its only role. It also houses a fully-upgraded refinery and an excess amount of O2/H2 generators. With these, it can function as a mobile refinery or fleet tanker for larger ships. It has been outfitted with the Anaconda Flight 2's hull to allow for more thorough point defense placements, resulting in 6 highly agile point defense turrets on top of 3 higher-caliber CIWS turrets which allow the carrier to perform basic self defense and not entirely rely on a fleet of frigates and destroyers.

The internal space for this carrier is sparse, only featuring a bridge and two cryo cabinets at the rear of the vessel, accessible via ladders to the sides of the superstructure on the flight deck.

Thanks for the response!

I went with so many custom turrets because gatlings simply wouldn't fit in the areas that offered the best protection. Customs would, however, and are upgradable and you can refit them with whatever weapons you need - so I figured it was a better call since I had already broken the "survival ready" tag by using retractable landing gear.

Makes sense, I think the way you put this, and the civilian version, together, they both work well for scripting out as multi-role platforms, or even using bog standard AI blocks and drones.

So you left the option open for players to configure it in their own use whoever works for them instead of locking them to one ecosystem.

If I might ask, why did you go with so many custom turrets rather than vanilla?

Yeah, I debated wiring it up for automated fighters/drones but opted to keep it simple to keep it simply being a survival logistics carrier.
