The option to Carry ships can be featured in both R-Type Command and R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate; an ability possessed by capital ships and huge Bydo. Each capital ship can carry only a limited amount of smaller ships, typically 3; some smaller ships cannot be carried. Being carried for a full round fully restores a ship's fuel, armament, and stock and/or HP, but Wave Cannons won't charge. A ship can take no actions while being carried. If a capital ship is destroyed while carrying other ships, all of them are destroyed as well.
