Based on posts in this thread Fleet Support Vessels are officially dead. Are you surprised? I am not, anymore.
Support Vessels officially GONE . . . surprise (not).

Was good to exclude them. It seemed a bit 'clunky' as an idea anyway, unless the support ship could do something, such as visit a starport or planetary base.
It would have been good if a so-called "support" ship could have done something supportive like go down to a surface settlement and purchase 1000 units of Tritium.
Or doing surface mining, as a mining support vessel...
Or enabling new exploration gameplay mechanics as an exploration support vessel. Like the possibility so get some "preview" of nearby system to understand if it worth to jump there or not.
This. I'm surprised more people on here aren't talking about it. They basically cut more content, out of something they've been working on for 2 years and kept delaying. But hey we're getting something at ALL so let's be grateful and look the other way shall we?
So does that mean the support ships assets will be coming as stand alone ships
CQC, Power Play, Multicrew, Thargoid War, Interstellar Initiative-Community Goals, Instancing, zero surprise here. My last hope is the next new big DLC, hope that I still have.
They've essentially become a part of the FC, probably via the module loadout options. No additional ships.
Yeah I get that. But I mean the virtual 3D models. Maybe they can be used to introduce some new ships in the future
Oh yeah! That would be a good idea.
I find the actual FC model quite ugly, give me the auxiliary exploration vessel one with a single large pad and i'd be happy
If you can't do it right then don't do it. Hope that thinking doesn't exclude FCs too before it's over!
They are not gone. They live with the space dredgers on a farm, deep in the Tionisla Graveyard.
Fixed that for ya
