ANNOUNCING: General Pants' Bulk Freighters Mod

More ways to haul your stuff!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Later in the game it can be a pain trying to cram everything you need into a regular cargo hull. Fortunately, your empire's commercial interests already have an answer, the "bulk cargo" hull. These hulls are used to carry extra-large loads, including spacedocks, mobile refineries, and even starship hulls. They can carry more, but they are no less fragile than their smaller counterparts. These hulls become available after you successfully research Large Scale Building.


NOTES:
- Sorry, I could not implement new hull models for these. I recommend using one of your race's cargo hull designs for regular hulls, and one for bulk hulls;

- these hulls are implemented as "huge" hull models, so that they will scale appropriately. This means that future mods that add more "huge" hull designs might not be compatible;

- yes, the name isn't the best, but it is necessary to keep things in alphabetical order.

Tennekis asked the following excellent question (in the Library):

but what do u need something so big for, or is it aesthetic?


Late in the game, I like to make my freighters very high speed, so they have less of a chance of beign intercepted. Also, I build very large troop transports, and I usually have to use Huge hulls for them. This way, I can build them on a cargo hull. When and if they make it so you can use more than one constructor module per ship (which the developers mention off and on), you'll be able to make Instant Superbase with one of these.
