Apollo class Liberty heavy carrier

1: Not necessarily. The engine, yes (that's the same as the current ones for the main Battleships, Carriers, and I think Assault Battlecruisers), but the Axe-Head has only been seen on the Battleship.

2: I spent years of my life on Battlefront, and I got to thinking of the huge flaws in that design (no offense to the modeler). Yes, we live in an age of shields (or at least our characters do), but they would still do the smart thing- namely concentrate fire on the shields, and once they're done shoot into the big gaping hole in the side of the ship, destroy any fighters landed and rip through the hull. At least, RP-wise.

And, finally, thankyou! Arches was the term I was looking for, I don't know why I couldn't think of it!

1: "This -is- a Liberty Carrier, of course it would have similar structure design to the Battleship, namely the Axe-Head and the Engine."
Not once did I say other liberty caps had that design. But, the Carrier is a battleship classed vessel. So again "of course it would have similar structure design to the battleship"

2: Thats all well and good but....your thinking of the ship's shield, and the hangar's "shield" as the same shield.
Think this way, the ship's shield is projected around it, that would be hard to maintain, correct so of course, it could be shot down.
However, the hangar shields, arent projected outside the ship, but are contained as a type of wall where there would otherwise be metal plating and whatnot. Simply not having to project it around such a huge area would make it easier to maintain, allowing for a separate, and even smaller generator, to hold that hangar's shield up no matter what hit it. My opinion atleast. I warn you, I'm no 9001+ IQ'ed Scientist that could explain the truth of why something would or wouldnt work.
