Do capital ships still jump in?

Yes they are still in game, since Horizons they can also be found in distress signals. The incident with a Farragut & Hutton dock didn't change anything as far as Capital ships spawning. As far as I'm aware that particular ship is still near the station, it was still there when I looked 5 or 6 months ago.

Interesting. I'm at a station where there is a War going on now, with a HICZ. The outpost station was under attack, but when I went to the CZ, I waited an hour and nothing special appeared. Just imperial couriers and clippers everywhere (I'm in the Empire owned regions)
They don't appear in all CZs. If a CZ has one it will either already be there or will jump in fairly quickly.
Yes, Capital ships still do jump in. A couple of weeks ago a war started in a system between rival small powers and two Capital ships (one from each side) jumped in as part of the new Combat zone, it was very impressive to watch as I hadn't seen this before.
We were tasked with helping to force the enemy Capital ship away, which we managed briefly by disabling its [Classified] which forced it to withdraw from the battlefield. it returned later though.
I was amazed that the Capital ships weapons appeared to have a range of around 8 KM, that wasn't great when trying to get close enough to one to damage it with my own ship's weapons.

Yep, there's a whole side to the game missing. Military stations, military convoys, military missions, resupply, recon....
