An Idea For Future Updates

Post by Woffin »

Portable equipment docks. Lol, i know it may sound a lil crazy at first but I had a think about it.

You can land on large carrier craft in the same way that you land at a station...so why not turn a large carrier craft into a station? It would be similar to the ferry that takes you to the planets and could possibly only be available to dock at when you reach a certain rank with a race? To make it fair for player purchase though they would have to cost a bomb and would have to have a very slow speed.

I think it could be quite useful but it'd have to be thought out because the advantages of it are kinda huge, lol.

I had a similar idea earlier, since i had just removed half of teh asteroids from Ore Belt, i was struggling to pass it round my empire.

If i had something like, i could fill it up, jump it into the sector that needs it most and leave it there for a little while.

Got plans to get around that, altho not until i have several 100s of millions. Want to set up a network of trading docks, and use the SDS script to move all the wares from one central dock (maybe a coupla of them?) to others in remote places, will take some time setting it up but i reckon it would work.

If im not mistaken aren't only fighter class ship allowed to dock on carriers? Unless you use frieght beamers, your TS's could'nt dock.

Just need to say thankyou Danfin for the Danfin industry pages. Back in the day your guides were indispensable.
There is new Devnet forums for ideas if you are interested, and they seem to be a lot more user friendly these days.
