Hello ! I'm wondering, why I can't build a carrier after the " Nanometallurgy " has been discovered. I Just can't find the 'carrier ability' in the special ability list where it should be. Can anybody help me please ?

did you just have this problem after patch 4?
I still don't know why it comes so late in the game. Like we don't have carriers today.

You have to start with a transport and add the carrier deck. It sounds silly, but it took me about 2 weeks to figure this little bit out.

Er, eh, gee, 2 weeks, eh? ::cough:: I, er, won't mention how, uh, long it took me to, er, discover this.
Actually the main reason I only discovered it two weeks ago was that I had never needed one, so I never built one.

I have NEVER built a carrier. Ususally nearby bases of pact brothers are close enough, and after you take the first city on an enemy's continent you can use it as an airbase.
