Player owned ships that other players can dock to

They could add in player owned "carrier" class ships that has the potential to hold at least one flight of player and NPC ships.

I know this is highly unlikely to happen but it would be cool to see.


The reason i thought of this is because me and six of my other friends play together but i have the place of leader and so the ability to dock on a carrier and super cruse in it to another system to then undock and fight is all of our dreams...





Tell me, what do you guys think?




1flight= 4 ships

I was thinking about this and was about to write a post to suggest it and found this one. I think it is a fantastic idea - you possibly do it with some of the existing ships. I had been thinking you could make a drive for large ships available that is severely crippled in terms of speed, but comes with the ability to carry smaller vehicles. You would also buy dock points for your hull of your larger ship, so you could cripple the mothership but have the benefit of ferrying around some smaller ships.

For instance, an Anaconda with a crippled slow drive that has the ability to ferry in players into battles or jump to distant systems that small ships can't reach.

So it adds gameplay elements to multiplayer combat or long haul exploration.

So a special drive with crippled speed, decent jump range, and the ability to ferry other ships
Docking points for sale on large ships allowing you to attach smaller ships, though they use up weapon slots
Strike missions - arriving in a system and having two small ships head off in different directions to complete a task simultaneously and get back to the parent ship to jump away
Ferry missions to take small craft deep outside the bubble to new areas of space

All of this forces adds cooperative elements between experienced players with big ships and new players. It also gives new life to early game ships

There might be a few problems with this. What if the player that docking to you use the docking to cause heavy damage to your ship. You know Ramming or attacking.

I am sure there will be viability of Capital ships in the future - we see them as NPCs currently in game. This would be an amazing feature and multi-crew is the first step in the right direction for it (ship launched fighters) but that is all still the pilots ship property being used.
