If you make a mobile aircraft carrier, it will drive/fly off and leave it's planes behind.

The only real alternative solution is to make an angry mob with planes.

If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

Will the planes fall and die on the ground or will they just sit on the air.

Any old friends still on here can add me on discord @jcdenton2187. I'm far more likely to respond there.

EDIT: Though im curious how can i make an entirely new unit model for the game? or how can i edit an existing unit model? and will it be difficult? and also how do i create new Projectiles?

Models require you to download various programs that I've never been able to work right

I have an idea but i want to get your opinions about it.I think instead of making a flying Aircraft carrier,i think ill just make a B3 Stealth Bomber and make it large with

Scale =

and give it a Transport capability

Behavior = TransportContain ModuleTag_08
    PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes
    Slots                 = 10
    DamagePercentToUnits  = 100%
    AllowInsideKindOf     = AIRCRAFT
    ForbidInsideKindOf    = INFANTRY VEHICLE
    ExitDelay             = 100
    NumberOfExitPaths     = 1
    GoAggressiveOnExit = Yes ; AI Will tell people to set their mood to Aggressive on 

exiting
    ArmedRidersUpgradeMyWeaponSet = Yes
  End

Though im wondering though if it will work,im still making it so i dont know if its gonna work the way i wanted it to.
EDIT:LoL it didnt worked the Jets dont go in the B3 Stealth bomber. 😞 wtf?

Like anhilzilationzh said angry mobs is the answer (mob nexus)

Check This thread for some more info.

Actually, using transport slots might sorta work. You would have to give the aircraft infinite ammo. You could make the aircraft only repair at the aircraft carrier, so that the carrier would still be useful for something other than a flying factory. You should add a production limit to the carrier and its aircraft though, otherwise it would be way too powerful.

EDIT: Maybe ill try to change the Art Parameters of the MobNexus to a B3 Stealth Bomber,and give it a health amount,though im wondering if i give it a health amount and its destroyed then would all the raptors be destroyed too?

EDIT2: Ok so i created a Mob Nexus and i changed it to look like a B3 Stealth bomber,but ive got a problem,the jets dont follow the B3 wtf?

Your drone Planes need a SlavedUpdate in order to stay in range of their master. Any time they get too far away, their AI will automatically cause them to return to their master.

What if. You combine the normal TroopCrawler's attacking method with firebase logic(if you wanna see the planes).

Just make it so the planes are not selectable.

You can probably simulate Protoss Carrier in Generals, the only hitch is that what if one or more of planes die how do you put one in the transport slot to fill it up again.

I'm wondering...

If you're using TroopCralwer attacking logic, how are you going to get the aircraft to go BACK into the mobile aircraft carrier?

And second, I think you could create an OCL that creates your planes, then create a dummy weapon that does like 0.00000001 damage (it needs to do at least some damage to actually attack), and that only spawns the OCL.

The only problem with my approach is getting the spawned units to attack, though.

The mind is quicker than the eye.

Because if it needed to reload, it would need to land [which is the problem with making mobile airfields]. Which means garrisoning wouldn't cut it.

it can be done I've did it with my paradropping plane but it does need infinite ammo or eles it will fly back to the airbass
it was more or less accident I was like "I wonder..." after it worked "...well darn."
