I mean, when talking assault space craft in the far future, 550 meters does sound rather puny and indeed light craft.

[@_realghost_]

Yeah even today we regularly build ships here on earth that are over 300m long and the Jahre Viking was over 450m long, so classifiing a ship in the far future with 550m length as a super carrier really seems puny.

[@xzardas541]

@@_realghost_ Not to mention that most carriers in the navies around the world can carry around 80 fighters, fleet carriers go over 100 aircraft. Quite amusing that mighty supercarrier has capacity of pre space era vessel.

[@VestedUTuber]

Not necessarily. That far into the future we really don't know exactly how big ships would actually be, so we can only really go by speculation from science fiction. 550 meters might be small-ish by Star Wars standards, around mid-bulk cruiser size, for example, but it's actually bigger than the Constitution-class USS Enterprise (TOS, not Kelvin Timeline) from Star Trek, and a bit smaller than the BC-304 from Stargate (which, admittedly, is one of the smaller capital ships from Stargate but that's a series where most factions just mass-produce their largest ships without any tactical consideration). So, for a carrier, 550 meters would be on the small side, but not necessarily tiny.

[@aidankeys8534]

Especially when they're space faring craft not weighed down by limitations such as buoyancy.

[@kacpermalina308]

​ @_realghost_ in star wars carriers have 4 kilometers lenght, and heavy carriers 7 in length and 7 in width and 6 in hight making them gigant.

[@smokinggnu6584]

When they described the specifics of what they classify as a "supercarrier" i was somewhat confused. that just sounded like a normal or light carrier to me. A supercarrier would carry many hundreds of fighters or even ships of frigate size, like the UNSC Infinity does.

[@mr5yy]

Bingo; it’s like a modern aircraft carrier. You’re average one holds up to 60 while a fleet carrier holds over a 100.

[@blockmg9425]

It's a carrier that carry its own escorts.

[@ignaciocorreaalvano648]

Thats the point, their expectations for a ship are way higher than for us, for us a space supercarrier should carry at least 500 fighters and have at 1 AA turret every 5 meters, but for them 150 fighters is an exceptional capacity

[@ca548]

This is basically saying it can hold 100 infinities and the frigates in the same style if its blocking out the sun. And who can say. That the thing holding the infinities is only a carrier.....

[@ethanmarsh1688]

What I like the most about this is the fact that you can visually imagine this super carrier passing in front of the star.

[@Holammer]

I thought the twist would be that the aliens in this story deploy carriers alone, but humans deploy them in Carrier Strike Groups which consists of dozens of destroyers, frigates, Aegis, support and stealth ships attached to each of them.

[@kacpermalina308]

That will be normal, for the fleet too, if you have ship specific to destroy bigger ships with sheer volume of firepower you win with 3 ships similar in size desined to carry resorce or space fighters.

[@mycroft16]

@@kacpermalina308 It's a pretty simple concept. Allow the carrier to be the fleet supply ship and have the significant offensive weapons (control the air/space... uh... space). The rest of the group is dedicated to protecting the carrier. And they tend to be a little overpowered. Advanced detection systems, massive numbers of missiles and long range weapons as well as ciw weapons. Stealth capabilities to sneak around and take things out silently and invisibly. You're too worried about the support ships to deal with the main ship which is busy throwing super agile and very small attack/bomber craft at you. Either way, you're gonna die.

I have to admit, curious how these idiots haven't already been reverse conquered by someone they underestimated if they're so willing to throw away and ignore the Intel division, to the point where the Empress had to intervene. Quantity does have a quality all its own, but, as humanity shows, size DOES matter in military affairs.

The description of the video playback kind of reminds me of the empire strikes back when the super star destroyer was shown among the fleet.

[@jdtheone]

Finally arrogant aliens that are not stupid enough to attack the humans I'm actually impressed by their intelligence

[@mycroft16]

I mean, you don't rule for a 1,000 years without learning a thing or two. And at least the fleet commander had enough intelligence about things to recognize real power even when believing how good his own fleet is. And in fairness, their fleet clearly is extremely good. Just not against humanity. They have proven their strength against basically everyone else. They've just been lucky that humans don't really care about conquest... we'd much rather build trade and commerce. Far more lucrative and easier to maintain than thousands of slave worlds. But don't ever take peaceful for weak. We will absolutely defend our trade to the teeth and final drop of blood. Don't f*$k with our boats. Or our friends. We don't like that.

[@commanderstorm8874]

Every one of these story’s I hear it’s just humans are scary and no one else realizes it until it’s too late

[@mycroft16]

It's mostly the fact that we have "clung" to our primitive weapons. What they fail to realize is that everyone else has optimized for a different kind of attack, so no one can really defend against ours. Arrogance has LONG been the downfall of armies and empires in just our own history. Thousands of years ago an army that was extremely skilled with a sling and stone could still do massive damage to a more advanced army. Technological advances are only a boon when they counter what came before. If they are designed to counter something else, the previous thing is still gonna wipe you out.

[@mycroft16]

The USS Gerald R Ford is 332 meters long and holds 70+ aircraft. All it needs is space-worthiness and I guess it classifies as nearly a supercarrier by this races definitions. Throw in the strike group with it and I think we'd give them a run for their money. Let alone a humanity that is actually IN space and has mastered in space construction and made trivial the launch of materials to orbit. And of course we aren't going to waste time making our military craft pretty. They're gonna be ugly sons of bitches, but they will absolutely end you.
