If the fighter bay 3D prints fighters...
- Thread starter Malkevin

It was talked about this being implemented at some point in the future.
Drone fighters are unmanned so aren't safety certified to carry human occupant. Your SRV has to have a safety inspection and have a little ticket put on it by some Health and Safety inspector.
Sometimes technical mitations aren't really technical limitations, but bureaucratic ones.
It's the most viable piece of head canon that I could come up with.

Why do you think this is not what is happening now
Maybe when we buy more than one SRV the others are Ikea kits XD.
I see the whole thing as Ikea kits + some amout of printing/robotic assembly. When you consider the scale of the Bubble, it would make
a lot of sense (since the number/demand is so high, and that ED universe tech seems "stagnant", mass standardization makes a lot of sense)

I like it!

Insert standard joke about Ikea instructions being hard to understand...
Though I do like what you're saying

This is the bit I don't understand about ship launched fighters. We have been told you can hire a pilot but he's on board your ship not the fighter and is using a VR type thing to fly so how is it he dies if the fighter is blown up?

If I'm not mistaken, he doesn't die... Unless the mothership is destroyed.
Really, I must of misunderstood...my bad.
Looks like someone is piloting the fighter-craft, so I don't think they're unmanned.

I may be wrong, but I don't think fighters are actually supposed to be 3-D printed from scratch, but rather machine-assembled from kits with pre-made parts in the fighter bay.
3-D printing such a thing on demand would be very silly indeed.

It'd be funny if it was just an inflatable decoy like in MGSV.

Because pirates stealing such blueprints totally care about licensing.
Are materials required to 3D-print those fighters? Like iron, tungsten, molybdenum or somesuch?
Don't think it's been confirmed but I imagine so, just like the current ammo refills or FSD boost, etc.

Not exactly. You buy reloads which are in effect flat pack Ikea furniture and when required the bay 3-D prints/constructs it.
That's what I've come to understand from the description anyway.

Totally agree with you. Doesn't mean FDEV do though
