    Supercarrier help

    How fast can they go? What weapons do they have, and how far away can they engage targets? Is it some sort of magical space drive with no conservation of momentum so they can dogfight? Every single element needs to be fleshed out. Why can't battleships move just as nimbly as fighters, for example? Do they have control of gravity (people stand around on ships like in Star Wars), etc.

     

    Regarding nukes, anything short of an actual impact detonation of a nuke is going to be substantially less effective than many people imagine. 1/r2, plus the fact that any such craft are designed for a high radiation and heat environment anyway.

    Magical space drive, they do have.

    Battleships would move slower because it seems more fitting. (Keep in mind not everything in this universe is based off scientific fact. chunks of it are just there because it seems cooler or it would allow more action.)

    Artificial gravity generators are present within most ships, but seatbelts are still used on shuttles and fast moving craft like fighters.

    The spacecraft are not supposed to land on the runways (unless the vessel is in atmosphere). They are simply there to guide ships to the hangar. I'm thinking they would be sealed with those blue barriers like in halo and star wars. Keep in mind this is more starwars esc sci fi military.

    I've been worldbuilding a sci fi universe. I've come up with a hangar configuration for a supercarrier(more like a carrier battleship hybrid) but I'm not sure on it. Basically there is a maintinence hangar, a launch bay, and a landing bay. I don't really know if it's themost sensible though. One big hangar like on the invisible hand? Or various hangars? Any ideas/suggestions?
