O.S.A. Carrier 'Mammoth'

"The bulky old freighter Mammoth—shaped like a boxy vise with huge, colorful containers stuck in its grip—was now a fighter carrier for the Sabers. As he watched, the sides of the containers slowly split apart to reveal the improvised hangars within them. Smaller ships shot out to form a rickety formation around their carrier."
-From Forces of Equilibrium

The Mammoth is a relatively standard LAECC-62 cargo hauler, with few changes made to her hull after her crew decided to join the Occupied Settlements Alliance shortly after the Battle of Kohtalo. The Alliance determined that the Mammoth was to fill the role as a fighter carrier, and her three cargo containers were modified for use as makeshift hangars for small craft. She now carries three FC-32 light, hydrogen-powered all-environment fighters.

She has a reasonably large fuel capacity but should keep sustained hovering on planets to a minimum if possible. More often than not, she is landed on the surface and serves as a semi-permanent airbase. Her crew uses an automatic hovering program to keep her steady and level during flight, making launching and recovering fighters easier.

Using the Hover Script:
Toolbar 2:
▪ [1:] Thrusters On/Off.
▪ [2:] Hover mode On.
▪ [3:] Hover mode Off.
▪ [4:] (Unused.)
▪ [5:] Add 100 m to hover altitude.
▪ [6:] Subtract 100 m from hover altitude.
▪ [7:] (Unused.)
▪ [8:] Automatic landing on the planet's surface.
▪ [9:] Automatic launch to hover altitude.

General characteristics:
▪ Crew: 6 crewmembers
▪ Length: 102,5 m
▪ Width: 40 m
▪ Height: 40 m
▪ Mass (standard equipped): 1 309 529 kg
▪ Ship block count: 1 984 blocks
▪ Ship PCU count: 13 229 PCU
▪ Fighter craft block count: 1 063 blocks
▪ Fighter craft PCU count: 13 603 PCU

Armament:
▪ 2x 200mm Heavy Rocket Turrets
▪ 4x 25mm Gatling Turrets

Features:
▪ Can land on planets and launch back into space.
▪ Has three hangars for small craft with downward-pointing connectors.
▪ Has on-board production equipment to refine ore and assemble components.
▪ Two cockpit seats with complementary information screens and toolbars.
▪ Jump Drive with a range of 2 000 km.
▪ No mods or DLCs.
▪ Contains fuel and components – tested in survival.

Known issues:
▪ Because of the "subgrids act as artificial gravity blocks" bug, the large turrets and fighters will slowly pull the ship towards the ground when inside a gravity well. This is one of the reasons I have added the hover script. Even with it, the ship may slowly rise and fall as the script fights against the bug.
