Ships Docking With Capital Ships

[SpaceMonkeyBoom]

I recently had my first encounter with an Imperial capital ship. It was a really neat experience. It got me to thinking about how cool it would be dock with one of those monsters. I'm strictly a trader, so I'll hopefully never meet a capital ship in anger but they need supplies, don't they? I would really like to see some supply mission to capital ships on deployment or maybe durring action. They could be like the 'seeking luxuries' T9s only with a docking port to attach to. Heck, I'll even be happy unloading supplies with limpets.

Do any other space truckers out there think it would be cool to resupply a capital ship? Is there a better way to work them into the game a bit more?

You wouldn't be wanting to kick a capital ship up the a*%$ , now would you, Your Grace?

I tried to fly inside an Interdictor with my anaconda. Didn't go well.

1) I'd like to see that video
2) What do you think about resupply with limpets?

It's a great idea. Running repair supplies to get them running and then have the ship jump out afterwards.

I would like it if the cargo hatch could extend a docking tube for ship to ship docking (fuel/cargo transfer).
The hatch seems pretty multipurpose it can scoop cargo, deploy limpets and deploy SRVs, shouldn't be a stretch to make it a docking tube as well.

Great idea and considering they're "static" ships it'd be daft not to use them as stations you could haul food, drink, fuel, ammo etc, they could even be moved to different locations/systems with each new update.

I don't think that capital ships would gt supplied by free traders. However it would be cool if some naval rnakings would include missions around capital ships and bringing in some goods for them. That would fit in the background with them.

I had the re-fuel capital ship idea for a community goal a while back, didn't get any traction but I too would like to see some more interaction with these amazing ships. Most people don't see them around so it's kinda sad since they are so epic, I still want them to appear around stations more often and scare the hell out of people smuggling
