' Wrote:You see, no. You are wrong. Hessians only have asteroid bases at the moment. How could they service their Cruisers or Gunboats? It would be impossible for them to dock, even on allied bases since neither of their allies has shipyards either. Unless, they are meant to go to the Omicrons to dock at an Outcast base or something? In which case I am completely against this.
you are correct, Hessians would have to use far away docks.....unless (dramatic pause) they were resupplied by smaller support vessels which is what i mentioned before. in RP the larger ships just don't fit in these tiny bases. i think it would be kinda neat to have these large ships rely on smaller ones for supplies. for major repairs and gun refits they would have to go to a sizable dock just like they should. but other than that they would get their bats and bots from others.
the bots would be used to repair any hull damage from a fight, and one repair ship could restock it easily. if it were to lose a weapon or such, yes you'd have to find an appropriate place to dock.
most of the bases in Discovery are still geared toward SP which was limited to fighters for the most part. with the addition of capships, especially to factions that never have had them before. most bases won't be able to support large ships.
a good example of how this would work is the Liberty Rogue Destroyer in NY, when a large ship tries to dock with it they hear a message along the lines of "sorry we aren't equiped to support a vessel of your size". so i think it can be done i'm just not sure if it can be made to distinguish between the different capships
