Notes:
[Data note: Cost recalculated from the original "Cost: 1051 (1231)" to "Cost: 1039 (1219)" - ftsrj.js's cost calculator (confirmed accurate against Fleet Book 1's own "Mass and Points Cost Table") doesn't reconcile with this ship's originally declared cost; the original submission's declared cost never matched its own listed components. The bracketed figure is the cost with a standard fighter complement aboard, present only for ships with Fighter Bays.]
Cygnus' Hornet Nest class Fleet Carrier delivers unprescidented number of
fighters. It also provides substantial ADFC/PDS cover with 8 PDS batteries to
cover another ship and 8 Class-1 Beams that can operate in PDS mode to cover
the carrier itself. It also carries enough firepower to protect itself from
fast attack craft if necessary. For protection is bosts an average hull
covered with 1000 tons of armor and a level-1 screen system. All this for only
10760MUcr (plus fighters).
