CVE

Based on the LST- Type 2, this Escort Carrier is a further evolution of desperate times calling for cutting corners.

Based on a bulk freighter hull, this carrier vessel is... well... its better than the LST 2. Unless you count appearences. It is designed to transport and launch fighters. Not look pretty in the shipyard. Featuring an enclosed hangar, 6 minigun turrets and an armored engineering section. Weight is massively reduced as the significant hangar space is made of the cheapest steel we could find.

The CVE can carry six G-75 sized SV's (3 inside, 3 on the external landing pads) or an estimated squadron of 15 smaller fighters (perhaps 12 in the main hangar). With ramps at each end of the hangar, HV's can be loaded as well! Of course the total number is just an estimate. We rushed this thing out pretty fast.

With the best in corner cutting methods, there is no gravity generator or offline protection. There are no bathrooms, kitchens, or places to sleep (unless you count your seat). You want MRE's? The food processor can make those! Those engine displays also feature two colors (black and white)! There is even an medical pod, although you will have to stand in line as crewmen bleed waiting their turn. But not to worry! Those blood stains work well in covering up the rushed paint job.

Two catwalks above either side of the main hangar allow extra space for pilot's seating, cargo storage, medical units, or pretty much anything. They can easily be expanded with a simple welding torch! This allows two rows of light fighters to launch, taxi and land without banging into equipment along the sides of the hangar while still providing space to install said equipment. And by install we mean you. Not us.

The Thruster columns can be serviced from within the vessel, as repair crews have direct access from the twin elevator shafts. That was an intentional feature, not us cutting even more corners by skipping actual service chambers and access paneling.
