Hi there.
I am a big fan of the little freighters.
I own a Corsair Correo and think its a shame I never get to use it.
Can I ask for an RP option to reequip my Correo as a Fleet support vehicle?
I'm thinking give me, and other small vessel pilots like me, an option to carry spare nanos and shields... enough to restock a Dreadnought one time.
This is the equivalent of a medic in other RP scenarios, and gives a new definition to Supporting roleplay.
It would also drastically change and, I feel, solidly improve the strategies used in naval engagements.
Suddenly fighters have a strategic target, and fleets need to reconsider their priorities.
Take out the cap ship .. or go for the medic? What should a bomber do?
Where is the fighter support?
Especially if my Correo could automatically transfer the bots and nanos to the cap ship if it comes in range of say 100 yards: A risky business that requires exceptional piloting skills. I'm sure this is a mechanism that could be implemented in a similar fashion to mining...
Perhaps this should require a special beaming turret, or a modified cargo hold?
That little freighter is going to be tugging back and forth to resupply the fleet under heavy fire, and suddenly there is a whole new world of game-play possibilities for us..
Comments? What do you guys think?
