JDs , HScanners and their fuel

[Hannibal]

That is indeed a way of looking at it, but since the Bustard has no other role but to act as a "carrier-ish" exploration ship at the moment, I think being able to go somewhere, scan for coordinates and be able to actually jump there later on would turn it capable to serve its purpose. ( We will probably differ on that, just sharing my view )

that's the thing..it should have only one purpose and the other one be left to corvo that right now has no role ingame,keep in my mind you will be able to bring a corvo with you to scan a location

That is indeed a good point, however, since no capital ship has more cargo space than the Bustard, (1800) and even with the removal of fuel taking space up, it would barely have enough cargo space to mount a JD3 (900) , a Cloak (450) and a CAU8 (300) - it is 1650 total, and we didn't count shields, turrets or anything else into account, which all take cargo space, especially for battleships ( Lib Carrier with 28 turrets or Coalition Carrier with 32 says Hi ! ) . However, if adding some cargo value to these batteries, it would totally cancel that possibility, I agree on that.

since LN is the one faction that uses battleships while being the most active one...you just proved my point


there might be an alternative for this..a JD could take less space on a bustard since its purpose is to make available jumptrading while not flying a battleship to do so
