In my opinion, if it had 2 more bays, it would become a force to be reckoned with. Those two races would then become semi-carrier races.

It can take out some small to medium sized ships. It's not bad for taking over planets. It's decent in the hands of the Feds, so you can trade it. It's the only way Fascists can carry fighters from planet to planet. With fast beams, it's not too bad with the Fascists.

It's not overly useful.

I think the idea is that the Storm Carrier is less expensive in minerals, particularly moly.

Paired with a Red Wind Storm Carrier, it would have 5x bays...still not very effective.

With only 3 (?) bays, would you need more than 40 fighters?

The Valiant Wind Storm-Carrier version is gone from My ship list? anyone know what happen?

I use them to move 60 fighters between StarBases and is all I ever use them for. and that is not the Storm version. keeps the front line Bases with the fighters to save MC an Building fighters everywhere.

@Rsk yes, for Birds with the RWSC it is better but no it will not run out of fighters.

The Valiant Wind can be used as a fighter transport... but for Birds, so can the Red Wind--and it has the advantage of being cloaked.

For the Birds...
I am told the Valiant is good in combination with the RWSC. You can use it to finish off carriers after fighting them with a Dark Wing.
Other than that, there's not much purpose for them. If they had a 4th bay, they would be semi-useful.

The Valiant wind might be somewhat useful with its 3 bays for a carrier race... assuming it had some other ability, like the SSD has...
