some questions and some thoughts

[D Ghost NL]

Hello cmdrs.

here some questions and thoughts from cmdr D Ghost NL.

- wil launched fighters be able to dock en customizeable at outfitting?
- wil it be able to send a launched fighter on a scout mission to extend the ship sensor range?
- why is it possible to only launche 1 fighter?
- will the srv be customizeable in the future?
- what about autopilot or hire an IA pilot. not all players have the luxury to play more than 2 hours a day but also wants to enjoy playing elite and jump to the centre. that will take weeks. this should come with restrictions also. like the autopilot goes half speed in supercruise. - community rewards you should be able to claim everywhere in the community not in the system.
- radio stations would be nice. i miss 12 o clock gallactic news [yesnod]
- will it be possible to become a passenger and hire an IA driver to transport you . at cost and normal fly time offcourse.
- where stays the shipcaptains cabin?
- last thought. what about your own system? for example. your 3000 LY from the bubble and you find a good system that you just scanned. you should be able to claim it and name it. next step to build yourself some stations, settlements ect. in order to do that you have to deliver the resources and materials . it should come with lots of credits or ranks and should have a good ballancing and restrictions. i think it will expand the bubble much more and more.

just some questions and thoughts cmdrs so i am sorry if this was allready posted or confirmed or bad english.

good day cmdrs

Ship launched fighters - Gamescon said no to engineering options at launch. You can change its colour livery though.

Yes-ish, you would have to be in fighter and command ship to stay still and then go away to your max tether range (unknown what this is arm) unsure if what if any tactical advantage you would have.

1 fighter launched cos there is only one real person in ship that can take control of it. Beta will see if 4 x ship plus 4 x fighter in wing is OP or needs buffing.

SRV will also have skins in 2.2 no word in Gamescon on any other customisation for SRV.

no autopilot function above existing docking computer , don't think this is on any Frontier roadmap as never mentioned before.

radio stations are out of game sites like Lave Radio and Hutton Truckers.

As the game's premise is you flying a ship, I don't think hiring NPC to do the interesting but will appear. 2.3 multi crew would allow you to sit back and do nothing whilst your online friends fly you somewhere.

currently your cabin is your chair, it's amazing what recycling minaturised facilities they can fit in that black flight suit you wear!! ;-)

base building, planet claiming etc not discussed as a road mapped option. If that is what you hanker for come back in 2 years maybe???
