Dear Players,

In developer spotlight posts, we discuss the detail and ideas behind Carrier Command 2.

In this post, we discuss the amphibious and air unmanned vehicle chassis set, their strengths, weaknesses, and why they are unique.

The unmanned vehicles fall in to 2 categories: surface and air. These categories have their own hanger space on the carrier, and, in a similar way to the original game, deploy via the docking ramp or runway.

The amphibious surface vehicles come in 3 models; light-weight, medium-weight, and heavy-weight. They each have their own attachment points, speed and agility in water and on ground, and resistance to projectile impacts.

The air vehicles come in 4 models; light-weight fixed wing, heavy-weight fixed wing, light-weight rotor, and heavy-weight rotor. The air vehicles have a greater variety of utility, with a broad range of distances of operation from the carrier, speed, payload, time on target, and resistance to projectiles.

The winged aircraft are ideal for scouting and advance strikes. The light-weight model has a lower speed but longer flight time, with a moderate payload. This aircraft is ideal for initial scouting, well in advance of an invasion in order to allow time for manufacturing and refitting. The heavy-weight model is closer to a multi-role fighter craft, having a greater payload, and a higher speed giving shorter response time.

The rotor aircraft have a shorter range, but are more manoeuvrable and more able to provide support to surface units with shorter response times.

The decision to split the MANTA and WALRUS vehicles into multiple sub-units is about developing the utility and strategy of specializing your units. By selecting the vehicle chassis, players have the authorship to select the base attributes of their vehicles as well as the abilities of their turrets. This is a fundamental component of designing strategy gameplay - to give the player the ability to express a broader range of strategies and ideas.

We are enjoying sharing bits of information about the upcoming Carrier Command 2 with you. Please share us your feedback and let us know what you would like to hear more about next!

Much love <3,

The Carrier Command Developers
