Quote:-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.
In-RP, any ship over freighter size actually connects with the mooring platform in space, while small shuttles are used to carry personnel and supplies to and from the planet surface. That just cant be simulated because of the game's limitations.
Quote:-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.
This would cause problems for many criminal groups. The liberty rogues, for example - all of their bases outside of their guard system are asteroid bases, where would their gunboats dock?
