Good idea none the less.

' Wrote:Lifeboats

Basically I got an idea for the NPC capital ships, they hold pilot items in their hold sometimes...well I figured that maybe we could add an item and call it a "Lifeboat". It is a larger escape pod, designed to hold something like 10-20 people....it could occupy mayby 20 cargo slots and be worth as much as some of the credit cards that are dropped...the price will have to be picked based on how many there are per ship though... maybe 50 K each? (though that seems a bit high) I dunno really...figured that gunboats can have two... cruisers would need more, between 5 and 10. Really...I dunno, just something I thought up...could even give them a specific game model (I know pilots have their own model when dropped)

so the fighters would drop pilots who have ejected, and larger ships eject lifeboats as the crew tries to abandon ship

' Wrote:There's a trick you can do when a Battleship planet dives. You shoot it once just before it blows up, and it drops all of its' cargo. Free loot.

I think this is a very good idea. But I think it should take up a sizeable amount of cargo space, after all how would you fit a life pod with several people inside it into the cargo hold of a fighter? xD

I think they'd need to be roughly 100-400 cargo space.

' Wrote:well there is one way we can look at this. if you watched Stargate Atlantis the wraith have tech to beam people on board it gets their data into a device and stores them there. so you could keep 100 people like that in a one pilot fighter.. its just a suggestion how to look at it in RP
