^ Aye it would be cool if you could take 3 friends along with you inside the conda's bay in viper/eagle/sideys.

your whole wing in one ship, then you drop out of SC and the 3 guys docked inside can fly out and assists with smaller targets while the 'conda its self provides the heavy fire support.

Vipers are a lot bigger than sidewinders. View one in VR and you'll know what I mean, even the Eagle is huge. Looking at the docking bay on my Conda, I could see room for a F60 or Sidewinder, nothing bigger unfortunately.

One strange thing I have noticed, the hanger bay on the Conda looks like it also has large doors on the side.

Pics are from the rift, just look at one side. It shows the main hanger section from the front, from the side it looks like doors that can open?

Arrows leading to docking bay, and what looks like two rows of lead in lights that will activate when in use

Problem is all the small ships are a complete joke in Combat vs anything Vulture and up.

If you could carry a small fighter, why would you use it?

Wings are only 4 strong and if you are having trouble in your Conda, having something small and weak available is a bit of a nonsense.

as a parasite fighter, it would be all weps and engines and nothing else. Crap, the ship wouldn't even need a jump drive. a point-defense sidewinder would be far more deadly than a normal sidewinder in a short range, quick fight.

If it was NPC, you could even just use it as a distraction long enough for you to get your drives spooled up and get out. I'm all for it :)

I'd like to see the Conda set up to act as a makeshift station for your Vulture, where you can get repaired and fueled up/reloaded. You could park near a res site and have at it.

that's be kinda cool, 4 wingmen in the anaconda taking the fighter out for an hour or so each...
you could earn a lot of money over the course of a day

I've been thinking about this one since I joined the Anaconda club. If the docking bay takes up a C7 slot then you can't use a big shield with it, and I'd much rather have the big shield than the ability to lug a sidewinder around.

Non-issue with shield boosters IMO. I can fly my Tradeconda with an A4 shield around a CZ with little trouble. Takes ages before the shield comes down, and I only have to retreat sometimes because the trade build has no shield cells. With A6 I'd have nearly 15x the shield strength of the A4, and the C7 bay stays free.

Some Girls Wander by Mistake. I loved their cover of "Gimme Shelter" on that album. Whatever happened to those guys anyway? I heard Mr Eldrich was going to release some old and unreleased stuff back in 2007.

He still tours, though mainly in Europe. I always keep an eye out in case they happen to be somewhere I can reach. :) No tour dates this year yet (at least, not that I'm aware of :( ).

I have an embarrassing amount of Sisters of Mercy stuff. Um... "all of it" pretty much. Including bidding for rare bootlegs on ebay for over a decade.

Ah, like Some Boys Wander By Mistake... And A Black October... :)

Could be a secondary escape ship, used for multiple instances.

Examples:

You've got a bounty on you. You are outnumbered, outgunned and obviously not going to make that frame shift jump. You haul ass to prep your Sidewinder/Cobra/Vulture/Whathaveyou and just seconds before your Anaconda explodes, you zoom out, momentarily protected by your bigger ship's destruction. The extra few seconds of confusion allow you to escape to relative safety.

You're out exploring, something happens, you list too close to a star, take some heat damage. Your modules are fried, you're out of maintenance kits. Your thrusters are down and you're slowly descending into the gravity well. In moments, it'll be too late. But you have a secondary insurance. You download all of your exploration data into your secondary ship and deploy in time to boost out of the danger zone. With your 'Conda slagged, you're left with little more than a plan B and head home to at least tell the story.

Of course if it can carry anything larger than a Sidey, any amount of help in taking down someone's shields or, if you can somehow order it (if NPC controlled) to take out certain modules, is good help. I imagine it would add a bit of chaos to conflict zones.

Unless I had a ton of bounties to cash in, and I mean millions and millions, I'd be so distraught over losing my conda, who cares about that sidey? You'll have to pay a hefty insurance fee regardless, just save the trip back to the station.
