I want to dock my Condor....

Once we get 2.2 working the way it should have been before the beta ended, it would be great to have fighter bays revamped into "Smallcraft Bays", meaning they could carry fighters like they do now, or Personal Shuttles to give an option for large ships to make port at locations that don't support large ships. Cargo Runners could also be an option, to allow large cargo loads at locations where large landing facilities are not available - even if it means multiple trips back and forth. And while we're at it, dropships for planetary exploration in something considerably smaller than the craft carrying it, as it can be challenging at times to find a good place to land a large ship on a planet.

We've struck a well of possibilities here with ship-launched functionality. It would be great to capitalize on it.

I can't but hope that whoever counts will hear you.

This is kind of ridiculous. This game should have implemented 2 active fighters for large ships and 2+ for the Beluga, the ability to choose either 2 fighter bays OR one bay for Sidewinder/eagle, the ability to dismiss your main ship while piloting a fighter, and fighters should be able to dock on small landing pads. I really am very disappointed that with every update EDs potential is not being utilized and things are being scaled back. Why is DB making the game the way he wants it, if he is not the one playing it? If FD doesnt want to do it for whatever reason, let the community do it.

With every update ED's potential is not being utilized? What do you mean by that sentence?

Agreed that adding additional small craft would be a great idea.
Remove their FSD to reduce weight and power requirements, but make them capable of carrying cargo and/or persons, including our pilots. Happy if the shuttles have no actual weapons.
