Does anyone know if they plan on making any more ships? I would like to see some motherships, like an imperial MS and a federal MS. Each could hold up to 4 small ships, 2 small and 1 medium ship, 2 medium ships, or 1 large ship. And maybe a cheaper and smaller mothership that could only hold 3 small ships, or 1 small and 1 medium ship. It would be awesome, an onboard ship yard to transfer your ships from stations to mothership. To land on planets you would have to set your mothership in orbit and take a ship from your hanger down to the surface. What do you guys think?
Motherships?
- Thread starter DeviLettuce
- Start date
I'd rather have a Fathership. Instead of squirting out 4 small ships or 2 small and 1 medium, or 2 medium, or 1 large, it would just squirt out 20 fighters at once.
Enjoy the mental images.

But I do like the idea of a small landing craft carried by a large ship - especially if that landing craft can also carry an SRV or several, so we can leave our large ships in orbit to fly to Raxxla with other Dismissed ships while we're down on the planet, and then return when we board our landers and Return to Ship.
dont capital ships start out with a wing of 10 fighters?
I've no idea - I've only seen the one that's been Refueling at Merope for the last year, the one that gets in the way at Palin's and had one show up in a CZ when the war was over and ram into me coming out of where ever they come out of and then complain about me being too close to them.
I've seen more megaships than capitals, and megaships are at least useful in some way.
I think Elite: Dangerous doesn't need BIGGER ships but rather more, like ships that are more specialized maybe something like a cool stealth ship that is designed to operate while in silent runnung mode and therefore has more utility slots but less armor and hardpoints than other ships of the same size.
Ha, just wait for the 'My mothership was destroyed and i didn't have the rebuy for it and all my ships it contained' posts 
What do you imagine a player ship of that size would cost? 50 billion?
The Type-9 Heavy can serve as a small mothership. Just as it did in the Elite movie.
Don't really care for the idea of bigger ships. At the end of the day, ships of those sizes would be impracticle to fly yourself, you wouldn't be a Commander, you would be a Captain, something like this:
I'm all for getting more of the ships from Frontier in though. Some people will say we don't need more small/medium ships, but to them i say, poo you, i want more of those sizes.

BINGO! That filled my card.
