Carrier showcase
- Thread starter Valorin
- Start date
I think the reason they did it this way is a few fold:
"Shipkits" on regular ships are not actually "physically there". You can literally pass through those tiny winglets, spoilers, nubs etc. with another ship or any other solid object. They are truly decorational. They could not even think of applying this approach to Carriers, youd be able to clip though entire sections of the carrier, engulfing even Cutters.
Secondly, I think this opens up the opportunity for future "classes" of carriers to be sold, if only as a cosmetic. We have never seen additional parts to preexisting ship kits offered. (Just new styles, such as raiders)
Thirdly, I think this was a design decision based on leftover art assets from the scraped "support vessel" idea frontier floated out at the very early reveals of carriers last year. Not wanting these assets to go to complete waste, they altered them up a bit and turned them into what we now know as "Class kits"
Very nice, too; I filled your Tritium buy orders at Amber yesterday.
Ah why thank you! - I'm still parked there looking for more, if the order hasn't been filled already, hint hint wink wink nudge nudge lol

Oh, I thought your little yellow dot had disappeared last night. Hmmm.
I did go out and about for a while, but headed back to Amber for the night.
Some of these images make we want to reach out and buy one myself... Oh wait. What am I saying!

I just noticed that the kit shows up correctly in the hologram in your cockpit when you select your (or someone else's) carrier. Neat.
Wish the same would be the case for ship kits also, at least on your own hologram.

Also, in full dork fashion, upon kitting out my carrier with all the goodies, I orbited my carrier slowly in my Shuttle Hauler, playing the theme song to Deep Space Nine. It was marvelous lol
I suspected we were kindred spirits. Confirmed
