Horizons 30km range for fighters too little

[RoninCahill]

I think FD needs to up the range for fighters. I use mine for exploration quite a bit and 30km runs up fast with a type 9 mothership and a co pilot who does not know how to afterburner (rank master). so I am tossing it out there to up it to 250km, but would accept anything greater than 50km. any seconders for this motion?

thanks

Depends on whether its technically possible.

What is the max range of an instance in regular space? How much can the game handle?

I think that opens it up to too many exploits personally. Until C&P is addressed I reckon 30Km is more than enough.

If the commander is in the pilot seat we should be able to dismiss the mothership just like using an SRV, however with the way FDEV have done it using telepresence it makes it....not logical. We should be able to have a dedicated exploration craft for exploring that doesn't use telepresence, can't be piloted by the AI and doesn't have a FSD, that way we could dismiss ship like the SRV does and call it back when we want it.

I'm all in favour of adding different ship launched vehicles besides fighters. I'd even go so far as an explorer that can go into supercruise but not jump. I'd also like a passenger (business shuttle) for limited access to outposts and maybe one that can carry a couple of tonnes of cargo (like the SRV). In short, I'd love some support for non combat oriented gameplay.

I think dismissing the ship would be the perfect solution *cough*telepresence[down]*cough*
