Overview

The Tokyo is capable of carrying a good 50 fighters. It is among the most combat-capable of the M1 class with the ATF Odin and Teladi Condor, and one of the most likely to be capable of brushing off an attack by a frigate, due to its powerful weapons generator and shields beaten by only 3 (vanilla) ships.

Background

The Tokyo-class carrier, with its capacious hangars, is the USC's premier force multiplier.

Physical Characteristics

The Tokyo looks very similar to the Terran Mobile Mining Base-Ship, with a large saucer section on the side of a long main hull.

Combat

The Tokyo is more combat-capable than other M1s due to its increased weapon power. However, since a recent patch its ability to fire its PSPs forever was removed, along with two thirds of its weapon energy. While its firepower is now in line with Commonwealth carriers, its superior shielding still makes it one of the better choices for a combat carrier. The somewhat restrictive cargo space can however be a problem when supplying large wings. In sector the Tokyo makes a better choice than the ATF Odin for a Terran carrier, because fighters don't have the massive engine blocks to crash into.
