Hi discovery community:)

For those who fly Battleships , what you do if you encounter multiple enemies in between of lane and some where else in middle of nowhere and unfortunatly there is no backup available to you at that time???
Are you gonna die in a BS against some little ships?
Well this all is very embarassing to me.

BOTTOM LINE!
I just wanna ask that is this kinda change is possible to make in which we can done this, that as a captain of Battleship we can hire or purchase some NPC's backup from factions main military stations or bases as we buy commodity or equip and for these NPC's there is a limited ship space is spacified and these NPCs are available at very high prices to hire or purchase. And after this, these NPC's are now part of our Battleship and whenever needed we can depart them with specific key(button) and call them back as well,
if any NPC fighter or bomber that we hired get destroyed ,then there is a specified time to redepart that NPC or simply have to hire or buy a new one again.:D

Well maybe this is all very crazy or something like that to you all guys but i wanna ask from ADMINS OR DEV TEAM ,is this kinda change is possible in the game???:nyam:


Post here what you think about this?

When I think of every Osiris and Legate in Gamma spamming up to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight NPC Titans at me, I think of saying "No, thanks."

On the other hand, some high-level NPCs are so remarkably annoying, so you can give the Corsair Battleship Missiles the Titan models. Well, that was about Corsairs solely, but it's just an example of how would it all end.

Lag.

Frustration.

Whatever.

If it can be implemented.

It could be a good idea in another universe.

Battleships carry one or two fighters used mainly for recon....(iRL oh the dirty word) So a liberty dread spamming fighters like it's Xmas isn't exactly realistic. The bottom line is man up and fly fighters, can you follow?

i believe that you did not saw tha freelancer 2001 E3 trailer ,in which liberty dread is showed departing not 1 not 2 ,they are 4,5 fighters and they looked awesome,on the other hand capital ships are huge and capable of letting dock multiple fighters.OK

Historically, and IRL, capital ships have always been vulnerable to small snub craft.

It leads to a quote i remember from Tsunetomo Yamemoto

"Even if you can own a sword or dagger worth 10,000 pieces, it can be overcome by 100 spears each worth 100 pieces. Therefore, use the 10,000 pieces to procure 100 spears, and arm 100 men with them. You can in this manner defend yourself in time of war."

There is/was already possibility to spawn NPCs as Neutral Nomads, flying around summoner.

Saw Cannon doing it in NY. Though it was not fully developed feature at that time (few months back).
