Limiting Docking of Capships Idea - RingoW - 08-01-2008
Hey, Dreygon. What MONSTAR is doing in that case? Where he is docking then?:P
Its all rp and imagination. My Praefect Cruiser for example. It's history claims, it is stationed somewhere in Delta. In reality, it is docked at Yaren, when i'm off. Would be too much demanded, if i would have to fly back to Tripoli everytime. I'll do it after getting a lot of damage in combat, to simulate repairs.
Additionally simply imagine, stations are much bigger than seen in space.

i've always Rp'd Mon'Star to get what he needs from the remains of his victims ships. or he could get Psi-Borg to bring him supplies. if he HAD to dock i guess he would force a station into repairing his ship in return for not being destroyed.

' Wrote:i just had a random idea, i'm not sure if it's been discussed before or if it's even possible but i'll swing it by you anyway.
what if....capships especially the large ones (battleships & carriers) were only able to dock at certain types of stations?
i'll give a few examples:
-i don't think any capships aside from a GB should be able to dock at planets. their mass and size would make it impossible for them to enter or leave the atmosphere. it would also limit some docking troubles for the larger ones.
-i also dont think capships, in some cases even GB's, should be able to dock at asteroid bases. most are incapable of handling ships of their size.
-i think battleships and carriers should only be able to dock at the largest of stations. first one that came to my mind would be shipyards.
all these docking restrictions would force a bit more RP into ship purchase and operation. in most cases a repair ship (finally a good use for them to be bought) or any other vessel could resupply the capships with batts and botts as needed. for actual repairs they would have to head to a suitable "drydock" that was able to handle that ships size.
but i thought this would be an interesting addition if at all possible.
so in closing the idea is to limit docking of capships per their class:
-planets: fighters GB, trader vessels
-small stations: fighters, GB (limited), trader vessels
-medium stations: fighters, GB, trader vessels, cruisers
-large stations: fighters, GB, trader vessels, cruisers, battlecruisers
-shipsyards: fighters, GB, trader vessels, cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships, carriers
whatcha think?
Battleships are strong enought already. I think this idea is nice one just for them (as you see some battleship are like basis themselves so its kind a logicall that they cant dock everywhere they want.). But cruissers and Gunbouts.. i dont know
