Description[]
The Space Carrier is a Spaceship unit available in Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest. Much like sea carriers, this one can build up to 15 Space Fighters to aid in space combat. Each fighter costs 175 Gold and Iron.
Strengths[]
A Space Carrier can send its Space Fighters over a reasonable distance. They can attack other spacecraft, but are best against Space Capital Ships or other Space Carriers. They also can attack on the planetary surface and are best against buildings. Generally they are best when sent out in high numbers.
Weaknesses[]
A Space Carrier can not defend itself against other spacecraft and depends on other ships to defend it, or on cautious advance and acting from long distances. Its Space Fighters individually are not strong against Space Corvettes or Space Turrets, and are easily shot down with fighter airplanes. Unlike the Sea Carrier, the Space Carrier does not repair its Space Fighters while they are docked inside. Since the Carrier sends out Fighters only when at full hit points, that means that every damaged Fighter blocks a slot in the Carrier's hangars, possibly making the Carrier gradually less useful until it finally sends no more Fighters out and turns useless.
