Carriers have been one of the most requested features for Stellar Warfare. I've spent the last month working to add them to the game.
Over the past few days you guys have seen me post a bunch of small updates regarding Carriers, Fighters and Bombers. While not perfect yet they are now functional and smooth running enough to be added to the game. While there is likely styll some balancing to do the current state is pretty good!
So hop in wave defense, singleplayer or multiplayer and have some fun!
