    Download Map


    Hey the everybody, I am new to these forums, and today I am going to present you a map I recently created.This is a map i created, just recently after ghostmerging has been ''found'', and I decided to experiment a little with that idea, however did not use it frequently throughout the map.
    The map features:
    -Captain's Deck with steering wheel and a mini armory
    -Two GAA31T Anti-Air Turrets.
    -Four .50 Caliber machineguns, also intended for antiair purposes
    -The Flightdeck with an Unmanned Surface Intercepter as well as a working Catshot mechanism for Aircrafts such as the F-99 Unmanned Drone
    - A hornet bay in ''basement'' As well as a Weapon Armory, and Sleeping Bunks for the sailors.
    - A hidden spartan laser( still accessable as a Spartan/Elite without any powerups or grenade jumping.)
    Here's a hint, It's near one of the Gauss Turrets

    Whilst this Carrier is made for aesthetic purposes, it is quite fun for slayer and team slayer 2-8 people.

    Back-Story: You, and your squadron of hornets have found yourself lost in the open seas, with no radars, and no form of long distance communication, and you are annoyed that the only thing beneath you water. You are already lost since several days, you are hungry, tired and running low on fuel. You almost begin to abandon hope until you hear a loud Roaring thrust behind you. You peek behind you to find an Unmanned Scout Drone Zooming past your squadron, ignoring your distress calls. You see it fly lower and lower, until it fades out of visible range.
    You and your Squadron decide to pursue the target, and hopefully find an airbase of somekind. As you continue flying towards where the scout drone flew, you hear one of your wingmen say: '' Neutral Vessel,3 'o clock, 300 metres in length , just half a click from here. I think we just found our self an Carrier.'' As you send in distress calls to the Carrier, no response comes. That's when you realize something is wrong. You decided that the carrier was abandoned and so you landed on it.
    After you search the ship you find no traces of other living creatures, Despite the fact that the ship was in almost perfect condition. Well apart from the broken Radio Tower and the Flooded engine...
    You inspect the flight deck, to find that one of landed scout drones still had its engines warm...
    So many questions pop into your head; Could it be the same one from earlier? Why isn't ot transferring our Distress calls? Why did the people abandon this place.

    It didn't matter, you are safe here, you have shelter, some food, and some fuel for your hornets. However your guts weren't giving you the happy relaxed feeling. Something was wrong here...
    You all grab firearms from the armory and take shifts on duty whilst the others sleep.
    At least this thing has a Radar...
    Once you are all ready, you will soon reconassance the area and search for shore. By that, I mean messing around and wasting ammo of the AA guns and flying around the carrier, trying not to crash, and testing the catshot mechanism without the plane...
    Either way, your objective is to find shore. (*hint to a new map i'm making)


    Enough with the textness, time to get to the pictures you guys are eager to see :)

    Ok guys, well that was my map, I hope you enjoyed reading this and I would appreciate feedback on the map, and what went well and what I could improve. Keep in mind that I was dead-low on budget and nearly depleted on object limit. I hope you guys like my map and well, stay tuned for more :)

    Very, very good first map post. I love how this is like an actual war boat. It is so big! (don't say thats what she said!). I love how all the rooms are a cool shape and I enjoyed looking at every picture. I'm a ship maker myself and I am really inspired by what you have made here. I hope no one criticizes you because of the lack of merging because I can easily say IT DOESN'T NEED IT!. 5/5 amazing work, keep posting, I love you (no ****)

    This looks very nice, If I remade my UNSC carrier map on sandbox it would look pretty much like this. Good work.

    Thanks a lot, this means a lot to me.
    I have to admit, I got the inspiration to make a ship by your PRison ship, when I saw it, I was amazed. So I decided to build a battleship(didn't turn out too well) and then figured I would make an aircraft carrier :)

    Wow, you did a really good job on this, the screenshots dont really do a justice to the attention to detail you included. The Captains Cab is ****IN SICK MAN. Makes me want to join the navy So I can Pilot this bad motherfucker.
    I suppose the only thing I can say is that this would be 10x more epic if you built it on Longshore, but thats asking alot considering the objects and space you have to work with. I can Dream.

    Keep up the good work, and by the way, Congrats on your first post!

    AWESOME DUDE! Someone finally made one. I have been thinking about making one like forever. Kudos to u for doing it and as your first post I must say the forge is strong with u my son. The only thing that i can say that would make this map the most perfect unstoppable carrier in the seas would be to ghost merge the entire deck and make it a little wider. Other than that EPIC!

    Thanks fir the comments and feedback everybody, I greatly appriciated it, and to those who are interested what will happen next in the story, I'm going to give you a little heads up on what to expect.
    One of the questions I recieved was, weather or not you'd be on land for the next ''episode''/ map. And well, All I can say is, that you're still ginna be in the middle of nowhere, but you meet a few new people and if you liked the aircraft carrier, you won't be disappointed with my next map. And yes, it does involve a ship or two :)
    The next one will significantly feature more ghost merging, and whilst that may seem the case, Ill be sure not to decrease the amount of detail, if not increase it to a whole new level. Whilst it still is based on the aircraft carrier seen here, I am going to take it to a whole new level, and for those of you who think ill just delete half of the aircraft carrier and build a banshee on it- you're wrong. Whilst it still is based on the same aircraft carrier, I am having to re-build it from scratch, and modify it to make it look, well in a different ''healthyness'' state.
    Stay Tuned for more ^^
