Dockable Battleships

[tazuras]

Sorry but I have to completely 100% disagree, having this would be great for gameplay and RP, little fighters might run out of fuel if they have to fly long distances to a battle instead they could remain docked in the batttleship til it Arrives at its destination, and then Launch. As for pvp orientated I dont see how that relevent!
You could have Fighters fly along side the Battleship toward a battle then Rape the enemy ships or you could have the Fighters inside the battleship being Flown to the battle and then Launching to Rape the enemy ships either way people will die. In Fact having dockable battleships is quite the reverse its more Realistic and if you kill the battleships early, the remaining fighers Docked will die to.

The server that ran this mod experienced no lag even in +20 Eagle PVPWhorage ROTFLcopter Battles, alsoyou cannot buy regens while docked on player battleships thus no advantage to getting more regens if you run out in a fight, and once the battle ensues no one will dock on the Capship again as bombers will take it out along with anyone onboard!!!

So you are talking about two things here? Dockable capital ships and fighters with some kind of fuel system or that die when their carriers die? That 2nd part really is not gonna happen. The game is called freelancer, people have to be able to play independently.

The fact that is is PvP oriented is relevant because I'd rather see the dev team work on developing something that supplements RP more, instead of PvP.

As for realism, sure, it would add some, but, as I said before I think it is possible there are other things that could add realism that are more worthy of being developed first. This is just my opinion however.

As for the lag, did the server you were playing on have a limit of 200? I am just wondering if a server with that population can support that much docking/undocking, or even if that is an issue.
