    Allow me to share with you, my second attempt at a fully optimized ship, the Truffaut Class Light Carrier.

    At nearly 160 meters long the Truffaut Class boasts not only a complement of strike craft, but a vast array of defensive turrets to dissuade hostile harrassment. With 46 Zipper point defense guns, 6 Garotte anti-ship guns, 5 Decimator mk III assault cannons and 1 belly-mounted, twin barrelled Dahl heavy assault gun to complement it's multitude of heat-seaking missile arrays, unguided rocket pods and fore-facing main anti-matter cannon, this ship of the line is able to simultaneously engage similarly sized combat ships at range, defend against enemy strike craft and launch devastating assaults of its own.

    In their substantial hangars, these carriers have the ability to host four single-seat single-docking module fighters along with one heavy-bomber sized ship. It comes standard with an array of F24 Mosquito fighters and one B3 Caracle heavy bomber.

    As my ships grow larger and my overall themes and shipbuilding philosophies develop, I would sincerly appreciate any feedback the community would provide to me. Just don't come down on my color scheme, I loves me some gray colored hull.

    Updated with new refit download, refit fixes turret docking, interior shielding, bridge arrangement and cosmetic coridoor layout.

    Looks good! Some more pics of the insides would be nice. Also, you might want to go back through your turrets and reorient them for a nice glamor shot. The most recent update makes the side-mounted ones spawn inside-out. :(

    Stupid right-left orientation definitely destracts, but I\'ve just done it so many times already, I lost the heart...

    Another gorgeous ship! Lots of ambition :). You should submit this to the ambushedgamer\'s ship of the week.

    Updated the post with new download link.

    Docking rework forced me to refit the Truffaut Class turret network. All turret docking units are of a proper size, hangar restrictions necessitated replacing compliment of F-24 fighters with a smaller, lighter F-24C variant with two additional AMCs. Bridge and coridoors were cosmetically redesigned, interal shileding reworked in several places. Added airlock above and below the bridge, added two topside airlocks.
