Better Carriers - Carrier Overhual

[D4rkstalker]

Vanilla Carriers aren't very useful.

Now each carrier comes with their own combat air patrol complement, 10 of each: T3 Spy plane, T3 Strat Bomber, T3 Torp bomber and T3 Gunship. Atlantis gets 15 of each.

These aircraft will automatically engage targets in range (300). They cost 66% less to rebuilt, but are slaved to their carriers.

Carriers are 2x as expensive.

Added a Seraphim T3 Heavy Gunship

Mod support:
Optional Addon, comes in either vanilla or blackops version:
CZAR gets 15 Restorers.

Interesting idea. Are the units included in the construction of the unit itself, or are they built on the aircraft carrier after a certain amount of time?

The first set is free, the replacements are built in a separate build queue

It's cool but clearly too powerful if you look at the unit mass costs (8k mass carrier coming with a free 10 * (1750+1500+195+1650) mass of units + no massive aircraft energy cost). I would turn down the initial numbers even if not aiming for a well-balanced, modded game.

@d4rkstalker A little feedback on your mod:

Overall, I think it's very well made and a really good idea However, I would recommend merging the units where only the scripts and blueprints have been modified. This would make them more compatible with other mods. There are plenty of examples of this approach in other mods.

Regarding the number of support aircraft, I think you've chosen a bit too many. Especially T3 bombers are too valuable to simply be given out like that. The same applies to the Gunships.

You could replace these two types of units with T2 versions instead. That would make the support a little less powerful while still keeping it useful.
