In Game Description
Cargo Feeders are small cargo ships designed to transport bulk materials from minor ports to major ones, where it can be loaded onto larger ships for long distance transport. The large amount of internal space in these ships means they have plenty of room for large weapons. Additionally, their small surface area means the refit shipyards were able to cover the hull in thick armor plates, something which would have been impractical on the larger lineships.
Modifiers
Missile Programming Channels: +1[1]
Mounts
The Flathead has
* 1 C4 Spinal * 2 C4 * 2 C2 * 1 C1
Compartments
The Flathead's compartments can be divided into 2 groups.
The Front-stack
Due to the Flathead's sub-par damage reduction, at only 20%, it gets limited benefit out of compartments and modules with sub-40 Damage Threshold. It also has a rather low structure HP pool, at only 1000 HP, the same as a Sprinter or Shuttle. To compensate for this, its compartments are all clustered very close together and all damage split with each other. Flathead survivability therefore comes from stuffing as much HP per point into its hull as possible. Compartments 2 and 3 will be Auxiliary Steerings. Compartment 5 should be a Citadel Magazine, who's Damage threshold of 50 provides the anchor for your internals. The small Compartment 4 behind the Auxiliary Steerings should be a Rapid DC Locker or Small DC Locker to add sufficient DC teams to compliment your Damage Control Complex.
The Rear-stack
Compartments 1 and 6 are the most survivable compartments; use these for your Reinforced CIC and your Damage Control Complex. These compartments are behind every other compartment and damage split with Module 1 and Compartments 4 and 5.
Modules
The Flathead has
- 2 Small Drive Modules
- 3 3x3 Modules
- 2 2x2 Modules
Drive Setup
There are many ways to set up a Flathead's drive, and the best way will depend on the role you are building the ship for.
CHI-777 Yard Drives provide the best linear thrust (LT) and angular thrust (AT), allowing you to quickly accelerate in any direction; this is best for dodging. The AT allows you to orient your spinal mount faster.
Sundrives provide the best top speed, allowing you to reposition at reasonable speeds.
BW800-R Drives Is useful for tanking. This also allows you to swap the position of this drive and the Civilian Reactor/Boosted Reactor, further protecting the ship's internals.
BW800 Drives, to save costs.
Civilian Reactor/Boosted Reactors fit into the small drive slots, allowing you to reclaim 3x3 modules for other uses if needed, instead of those modules containing Light Civilian Reactor.
The best drive setup for Flatheads that want to move around and take part in battle is CHI-777 Yard Drives-Sundrives. It provides the speed and acceleration of a triple drived Axford.
