Modifiers
Spacecraft Arming Speed: +50%
Mounts
The Levy has
* 4 Class 2 Mounts
Mount 2
This is the best point defense mount, able to screen the whole of the carrier when the top of the carrier is pointed towards cover.
Compartments
The Levy's compartments can be divided into 2 groups
The Bridge-stack
Of these, compartments 1 2 3 and 4 are ironically the safest, being the most exposed but also least likely to get hit.
Deck Gear Lockers are used to buff the arming speed of craft. The levy comes with one built into the base hull for free, but stacking more of them does not go amiss.
Two Spacecraft Strikedown Stations can be used to cycle four Claymore bombers at once.
Remember, a Spacecraft Repair Station comes built into the base hull for free!
The Hangars
Compartment 7 8 and 9 are the Levy's dedicated hangar compartments, where you place your Bulk Internal Hangars
Compartment 10 is the dedicated magazine slot. 90% of the time it should be a Reinforced Magazine, unless you do not have enough space and need to swap it to a Bulk Magazine.
Modules
The Levy has
* 1 Large Drive Module * 1 Small Drive Module * 4 3x3 Modules * 2 2x2 Modules
The 3x3 Modules will typically contain 2-3 Flight Deck Traversal Systems. While up to 4 can be stacked into the hull, diminishing returns don't provide much benefit past the 3rd.
Drive Setup
Whiplash Drives provide the best top speed, allowing you to reposition across the map quickly when under threat.
Dragonfly Drives provide the best angular thrust (AT), allowing your ship to pivot and change its heading and roll quickly. Useful for maintaining a high speed while at flight quarters.
Prowler Drives are a trap option here, as if you would like to play from stealth you should take a ship with a smaller radar cross section like a Raines or Sprinter
FR4800 Reactors fit into the small drive slots, allowing you to power radars or aurora PDT.
Levys may find themselves appreciating the Whip for its large power generation and quick repositioning, or a basic FM500-Drive to save points; it generates enough power to keep 3 Flight Deck Traversal Systems running without requiring other power sources.

Builds
Double Levy:
Two 1500 pt Levy, when combined provides identical mass and throw-weight as a 3000 pt CVLN Moorline.
Aux Levy:
Auxiliary Levy, typically around 1000 pts, equiped to provide escort and light strike.
Single Torpedo Levy:
Single S2 Levy
A single 3000 pt Levy with most of the fleet's points in munitions Built much like the ~2k Levy but buying S2s instead of torpedoes pushes it into the 3000 pt bracket.
