I was wondering why there just several (even with different mods) cruiser sized ships with flight decks? Thus I decide to add some...
This mod campaign integrated and (I hope) vanilla balanced + 1 test mission

        Zephyrus

+ Fast
+ Full automatization (very small crew)
+ 360 degree FRONT shield
- Expensive

          Osprey

+ 2 flight decks
+ Heavy armoured
+ Powerful generator
- Small hangar

                  Echidna

+ 2 flight decks
+ Large hangar
+ Large cargo space
- Almost no armor

Changelog
v1.1 - All ships for now take their place in the factions fleets


Feedback is appreciated! And if you want to use somewhere this mod, just let me know in this thread!

Zephyrus looks good, so does the Echidna.  I'll try it out!

Btw, as I understand correctly, in the original game there is no way to add new fleet compositions to the exist factions without modifying  *.faction files, but maybe somebody already wrote some functions or methods for this?

I had the same question: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=2830.0

See Alex's posts, but you can make a new faction file in the mod that doesn't replace the old ones, just adds ships to specific fleets.

Thanks very much! Your advice works perfect! So now I can start to create new version of this mod.

New version is available

well it isn't a cruiser based carrier, but it is a destroyer based, which if I remember correctly there is only one of in the vanilla

@Tezarius, medikohl: Wow these are some top-quality sprites. Good work guys!

[medikohl]

just finished up another

honestly thinking just enough flux ability to make it a decent point defender.

[medikohl]

thought this was interesting, might just be silly though

all cruiser sized are Tezarius's work.

I'm just posting a few offerings if he wants to take them in.

or alternatively



[edit]
realized the size was a bit off for a destroyer
