Fighter and Cargo Bays ( Ship )
Cargo Bays and Fighter Bays
Fighter Bays: Some ships have fighters bays. A ship can have between 0 and 20 fighter bays.
Fighter bays hold fighter wings, if a wing is so large that it will not fit in
a single fighter bay the wing will try to use more than a single bay if there
are more than one empty bays available. The number of fighters that will fit on
a ship are determined by the hull design.
For example: A fighter wing with 95 fighters docks with a ship with 5 empty
fighter bays all 40 units in size. The wing fits into 3 ship bays, leaving 2 bays
empty. Another wing with up to 80 fighters can still dock with this ship
filling the remaining 2 empty bays.
Cargo Bays: Ships have from 0 to 20 cargo bays. Cargo bays hold cargo pods. The size of
cargo pod that will fit in a single cargo bay depends on the ship hull design.
If a cargo pod is too large to fit in a single cargo bay multiple cargo bays can
be used to hold the cargo pod. The above screen is showing a native pod that
is being stored in 3 cargo bays on the USS Dully. The USS Dully happens to have 20 cargo bays all 2kt in size. The native pod has a mass of
5kt, so it requires 3 cargo bays to store the pod.
