Description: 

The Hive Class Carrier is the first of a new line of Confederate warships designed immediately before the Battle of Druckenwell. The Hive Carrier was designed to fulfill a role of a strict carrier and anti-starfighter ship. Constructed around the use of a new launching mechanism that utilizes a modification on the rail gun to launch starfighters out of a series of tubes along the port and starboard side of craft by propelling them to their maximum velocity and causing a fighter screen to be assembled quickly in comparison to launching from a centralized hangar, the Hive Class ship has two long hull peaks strictly for the purpose of launching fighters.

Fighters are collected using a port and starboard hangar and a collection of tractor beams to bring the fighters, including damaged fighters and other larger craft. On top of the hangars and focus around getting fighters in and out as quickly as possible, the Hive Carrier’s offensive weapons are focused around warhead launching and flak cannons.

A central hangar between the two launch two hull sections allows for a general use hangar that is dominated by combat modified Onith Class transports and other courier vessels.

Is the venom class in our armory?

Don't forget the droid interceptor is swam class so it can carry 50% more.

If it doesn't need to be fast I'd follow some of guys posts to give it heavy armour plating

Crew numbers seem high for size.

A support cruiser can carry 108 swarm class interceptors

To make this worthwhile you need to carry a good deal more fighters than:
