Way to make me feel extra out of the loop...

Wyvern. The crew numbers at the start make me 

Other than that, pretty cool.

[Aldrith Shutaq]

Wow, only 1000-ish people needed to crew a capsuleer supercarrier?

[Desiderya]

No. 390 on a capsuleer SC, less than a standard drake. /o\

[Aldrith Shutaq]

Yeah, but you have to add the flight operations crews, which is another 580 according to the trailer. That would be for both versions of the ship, making caspuleer versions 960-man, and standard ones 1733-man.

I like that a ship of that size has components built by a bunch of different companies, very realistic.

[Aldrith Shutaq]

The Myrm also has components from different companies, suggesting all ships are made like this.

[Esna Pitoojee]

While this fits for some nations, that's a bit of a :welp: for the State, where PF already states that T1 ships are designed and procuced by a single mega.

[Ghost Hunter]

Battleship and below I can see the Megas holding single design privileges over a ship. Their capitals are very 'the glory of the State', however (see Leviathan), so that probably has all the Megas involved.

There is also a difference between a ship being designed by a single corporation and that design having components from multiple corporations.

The Wyvern may be a KK design, but as part of their design they are using existing systems from the companies that are number one in the particular field.

Considering how the State work, and how the Caldari think, it makes actually sense to me that they buy A LOT from each other when the business opportunities arise. This does not mean that they suddenly are not competitors anymore. For me, its trade and business agreements at their best.

Edit : designing your own jumpdrive system suitable for your design costs too much ? Fortunately, there is something the Lai Dai competitor produces that fits exactly for your need. It may cost you a lot to get the rights to include it in your design, but on another hand, it also provides new business opportunities for Lai Dai that will probably be able to sell more of their jumpdrive system at the same time.

I dont work in shipbuilding, but I'm pretty sure how alot of Navy ships at least include stuff from different companies.

Plus, certainly with capitals, the megacorps would have probably built them for the Caldari Navy. Since the Navy is the largest of the Military services in the state.

Although it is worth noting that EVElopedia list the security arms of the Megacorps, LDPS, Home Guard etc as military branches.

Now see, what really confuses and irritates me is the fighters.

At that size all it carries is 40?

And why are the fighters so massive?

They are dropping Citadel Torps en masse... plus the storage capacity for the fuel/spare torps when they(fighters/fighter bombers) dock. Since there's no chance at ever docking the ship, it could be months/years of operation before they ever stay stationary long enough to resupply.

Every fighter = a Squadron?
