M1 Hangars and Launchers, written by Deadbeat_Spinn

Deca

Deca (Terran)

  • Hangar entry: Landing bay is located midway down the side of the ship on the left side.
  • Launch tubes: Sixteen launch chutes are set in three groupings (six, five, and five) and are set below (six) and aft (five and five) of the hangar entry on the left side of the ship. The #Deca also contains the most launch tubes of any acquirable ship that is in a vanilla game and comes in second overall only to the unacquirable Valhalla.
Aran

Aran (Goner)

  • Hangar entry: Unlike the majority of the other ships on the list, the Aran is one of a few ships to actually have two hangar entries. The first is located on the right side, underneath the three spars, for docking anything bigger than an M7. The second is just aft of the midway point of the ship on the left side.
  • Launch tubes: Four launch chutes are set just forward of the second hangar on the left side. The second entry and its launchers are also oversized to accommodate the fitting of M6's or TS's.
Carrier

Carrier (Khaak)

  • Hangar entry: None, even though this ship can carry twenty-five fighters there is no landing bay.
  • Launch tubes: None, fighters cannot depart due to the lack of launch chutes.
  • Sidenote: The player was never meant to acquire Kha'ak capital ships in a vanilla game which may be the reason as to why there is no hangar/launchers.
