Carrier ships

[me_b_kevin]

Have seen this done Before (dare I mention another MOD, Freeworlds had this) was not used that much carried a high price and died as easy as most NPC's.

the way i see it would be like a weapon that comes mounted on the ship already like the forward guns on some ships now.

it would have a very slow refire rate, the slowest in game actually.

range would be the longest also though, as it would be dependant on your targeting. so max would be...9.9k? depending on your scanner? i would think by the time a ship got to the carrier it would've had time to launch 2-3 fighters

i would think it would spawn one guard level NPC. and if it become too unbalanced it could have ammo added, number of ships in hanger type thing. maximum of 10-20 or something. for lag purpose i would say max of 10.

just my thoughts...would be interesting to play with.


edit: one thing about making it ammoless would be the fact that the way it would work (in my thinking) is the fighter would fight the original targeted ship until it either got blown up or if it blew up the target it would just despawn. so you'd have to use them kinda like missles. the AI would be singleminded. so for every new target you'd have to launch new ships
