carriers be more carrier like

[masternerdguy]

As you know, I also play EVE and we have carrier class ships. There are "carriers" here too who just bear the name for show.

Is it possible for a carrier in freelancer to spawn NPCs near it (flhook) and use a command like "/droneengage igiss" and have them do it?

That way we can take carriers and give the the powers to sick fighters on a target, much like the attatched picture.

Just a thought.

there was a thread about someone else having a mod which allowed an NPC squadron to join formations with a ship.

mining update, indeed forgot about that.

Im not trying to make it more like eve, im trying to make the names of the ships make sense. Carriers in RL and many other places always carry fighters.

Many, many threads about this.


But it should also be kept in mind that the Vanilla Battleships ARE carriers.

I'm pretty sure the Rheinland BS can carry more fighters then the Order Light carrier.

I just fill the space that would normally hold my fighters and bombers with slave girls.

He actually has a good point there. It's not about being like Eve, it's about role playing a carrier.

Speaking of, Maybe that should be part of some requirement before a carrier can be brought out, have X number of players in fighters to escort it like it's their mother ship. That might reduce some of the cap whoring.

ok but.

In RP thats true, but making it functional in the game is cooler.

I think the carrier was invented to be able to house MORE squadrons, perhaps even 4 or 6 times as much as that of a battleship, in RP at least.
