== Description ==
The Floodgate is a Carrier crossed with a Cruiser. It is predominantly a Carrier however it is fitted with a small range of weapons that mean it can engage in ship-to-ship combat with lighter warships.
It is also like a Cruiser in that it can operate independently and is a very good patrol vessel, even more so as being a carrier affords it a large contingent of onboard scouts.
This makes them key policing vessels and counter piracy vessels. One Floodgate can deploy enough T1 drones to swarm a small battlegroup and has the onboard firepower to contend with any ship used by your average pirate.
They were built to house masses of T1 drone fighters, acting as the launching point of swarms of the cannon fodder-esque craft.
