MEC 'Rialto' Carrier (7-Slot)

(UPDATE: 4/28/2019) This ship is now updated to work properly with Combat Update Pt. II Note: This ship is a very old build from a much earlier version of the game. While it has been updated a few times to keep it functional, it may not be as competitive as newer designs. The Muthos Engineering Consortium proudly presents our first entry into the capital ship market - the 'Rialto' class carrier. Featuring the latest in fire control technology with only a modest crew requirement, the Rialto sports excellent weapon coverage, good speed, and a large hangar bay. True, the ship's shields leave something to be desired, but when you're fast and you have a trillion* fighters at your disposal, who needs shields anyway? Plus, there's even an arcade with a claw machine in the bridge! The Rialto pairs well with MEC's own SP Mk. III 'Thunderbolt' fighter (or some of our X3 and HW fighters). The Rialto has 12 weapon hardpoints at key locations, providing full 360-degree weapon coverage. Broadside angles have the advantage of not only showing the ship's narrowest profile, but also bringing most of the hardpoints to bear on a single target. Where the Rialto really shines, though, is its hangar capacity. Utilizing a dedicated fire-control tower and powerful comms and sensors array, the Rialto can field and support a huge number of fighters. Many of our customers prefer to outfit the ship with independent targeting weapons, allowing the ship to engage multiple targets at once while micromanaging fighters. Near the aft of the ship, behind the bridge and sensors array, are two boiler plates bearing the Muthos Engineering Consortium name and insignia. Customers are encouraged (though not required) to replace these with their own heraldry or company names. Be aware, if attempting to mirror, that because the Rialto is slightly asymmetric, the x-axis mirror may need to be moved (center it on the black line that runs the length of the ship).
