Anyone seen the details on Arawn for example... Its awasome. The front and rear has gates opening, it has flyable entry point on the roof and fully pimped up interior complete with internal defence guns.
And all that mostly useless. Drones launch by maybe 5 at a time exept Overs that dont actually shoot at anything, wardrones dont even launch.
Like i said, this is a question, what would it take to make small and medium ships dock to carrier? Considoring they dont have jumpdrives, traveling longer distances is pain.
QUESTION: carriers actually carry S-size ships - "how hard can it be?"

before resorting to trick: did anyone actually bother to check if an S/M-Ship could by chance dock there, like they do on Stations? because the related parts seem to exist:
(from the Arawn Ship Macro)
Code: Select all
<connection ref="connection_dock_m01">
<macro ref="props_surf_ar_docks_size_m_macro" connection="Connection01" />
</connection>
<connection ref="connection_dock_m02">
<macro ref="props_surf_ar_docks_size_m_macro" connection="Connection01" />
</connection>
<connection ref="connection_dock_m03">
<macro ref="props_surf_ar_docks_size_m_macro" connection="Connection01" />
</connection>
<connection ref="connection_dock_m04">
<macro ref="props_surf_ar_docks_size_m_macro" connection="Connection01" />
</connection>

I still think it's probably easier to warp the ships to some hidden, inaccessible sector when they fly close to the docking port. That way you could preserve the pilot, any damage to the ship and reset any running scripts. Maybe even run a repair script etc. When the DO orders them to launch again they just warp back. Would just need an MD script to keep track of what owns what maybe. Not a modding expert but learning fast. I realise it's not an ideal solution but I reckon at this point in the game's development it would be a lot easier than trying to actually dock these little guys at a moving target.

I believe this is correct.Vim Razz wrote:From bits like the docking ports UniTrader pointed out and various comments scattered around the script, it seems like it was intended at some point but they might not have had time to implement it fully.
It might even be available in the pre-Christmas patch/expansion release.
Now wouldn't that be nice?
