The fleet carrier is a carrier-size warship built around its hold, from heavy frames, containers, steel plate and thrusters. Its large hardpoints take hangars, from which it launches fighters and bombers carried in its hold. Its other hardpoints are few and small.
The fleet carrier is locked behind research. An ARCHON unlocks it by trialling a hauler design of its own with a larger hold than the blueprint. A Shipyard then builds it.
