I have a real perverse desire to waste a Capital Ship.
Setting aside the sheer logistics to organise such a fight, and whether a Capital Ship can be destroyed, what I'd like to know is whether the Elite universe and servers can allow this to happen.
I understand that there's limits placed on the number of players at one time in the same instance (32 ?) but, if there was a force of 100+ CMDRs in Open Play who all went to a specific system to attack a specific target, how would this work (and would it work ?!)
Could this actually happen the way Frontier has implemented the game ?
(I don't think the Wings system is required for this, logistics could be organised completely separately without the need for this.)
Apart from the perverse desire I'd love to see how this would impact the game universe given the size of the ships. Destroying one would send a signal to a particular faction/ political entity and alter the state of an entire system potentially. It's a sandbox after all, so why not think bigger ?
