Crazy idea but...

[Infernias]

That's the unfortunate part about it, until a modder (or team of modders) come along with the skill to circumnavigate the fact that such features are only accessable through the source code, or in the unlikely chance that MS actually does give in to fan pressure and release the FL source code (again, snowballs chance in hell), we'll have to live with player capital ship docking in our roleplay, our imaginations and our dreams:(

As for freelancers current level of modding skill: i dont think that those few moments of fighter-spewing glory are quite worth the complete killing of a freelancer install / multiple peoples FL installs.

As for capital ship roleplay, its entirely within the realm of possibility, i know that on my capital ship i always carry some extra commodity essential supplies, such as food rations, water, h-fuel, to "replenish" any fighters that are serving as a taskforce.

On that note, maybe more people should try out roleplaying capitals as support/base vessels, instead of just oversized fighters (i personally hate it when other players use capital ships with engine kill fighter movement tactics, it just dosent look right; gunboats aside, capital ships werent meant to dance -- and yeah, i wont complain if a gunboat dances, but i've seen some destroyers just use engine kill to "buzz" around and throw people off)
