Carriers and other capable ships in 4.86

[color=#FFFFFF]Indeed I just constantly imagine all those pesky re-engagers we all know having 1 to 10 options in the middle of the battle where to land restock and come back again totally destroying the fragile balance some battles have

Could be balanced by some timer, maybe the more damaged/repaired/resupplied the ship, the more time it would take it to take off, just like jumpgates/jumpholes

I don't see how abusing this would qualify as being non rp.

Imagine you were in a real space battle, fighting alongside a carrier. If you take heavy damage, naturally you would want to land to repair and get more NB/SB. An enemy could counter this by simply destroying the carrier.

Dock 20 of own transports in a Zoner carrier, Get to destination and drop em out one at a time. Barge trading without the hassle of a barge!

There abuse:P

Kidding, Kidding that would be a terrible idea, ultimate form of capship escorting though
I'm assuming that transports cannot dock with carriers/BSes and that there would be some sort of limit?

It would be a way to help out small time traders though, like a few people in dromedaries docking with a big brother BS and getting shown around like that.

Refill docked snubs out of the carriers own supply of bots\batts - own supply of consumables.

Indeed, that would be the right way. Maybe give the carriers some extra b/b since they'll likely use part of them for their own defense.
