Is the capital ship dock modular?

I love the video of the Farragut class ship in it's dock, I think there should be more of this sort of stuff in the the game for added visual flavour (Lynx Bulk Carrier and Long Range Cruiser would also be welcome additions).

My first thought when I saw it was that "I'd love to see it with more bays". Even if we never saw more than one capital ship docked at once, a three (or more) berth dock would be so cool.

The mere suggestion that more than one of these ships might ever be in the same place at once is almost better than actually seeing it.

Yeah having 4 together with opposite aligned would be cool. So would having something like it outside of the big stations in military systems. As well as put them around the Capital ships near Sol/Mars ect. With traffic of course. Variants for bulk carriers like the inside where you can see part of the economy and civilian traffic. They could borrow the idea from NMS with procedurally generated ships and make thousands of civilian ships from that to spice things up.

I'm very pessimistic on the idea of CapShip docks. What purpose will they serve even if you can see 50 capital ships docked at once?

Immersion(A feature of games some people like yeah?)

Are you not familiar with the phrase "less is more"?

As to their purpose they're clearly not meant for anything more than just adding a bit more variety and visual appeal at the moment.

If you really wanted to include a specific gameplay function for them then maybe they could be the place to go to to pick up military missions and grind rank.

Good idea OP. And i like immersion adds on and this would definetly add to it (capital ships being repaired/restocked/refueled, with radio comms and small drones/ships buzzing around it and performing those activities)
