ok, ive noticed when you are a capital ship, cruiser class and larger, and you are with a team of players that are fighters or gunbaots.
i know this is not possible in freelancer, but what if there is a game that can do this please notify me.
your a fighter piolet and youve run out of batteries and bots.
your friend is a albatross battlecruiser and has a docking bay suitable for fighters.
what if you, a human player could dock with another players capital ship and buy their cargo they have in their bay unmounted?
that would be my dream come true.
we had that docking on player ships some time - allthough its technicly possibly - it causes a lot problems - more than its worth from what it appears. ( lag is only one of the problems )
what you d like to have is basicly a mobile base - which could, in terms of re-engagement mess up things aswell. - but yes, the idea as such is quite attractive - yet won t happen.
There are vidoes of mods that have it. Its pretty cool. But dosn't work the same way your thinking of.
ie: the ship isn't a base, its a re-spawn point.
Like Jinx said, unless we get some kind of Uber server with some kind of lag preventing setup, it probably won't happen.
:cool:
"Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do."
Actually the biggest issue is that if a fighter docks with a carrier and then the carrier logs off or is disconnected..where is the fighter supposed to spawn back in from?
There were test on these kind of things and I think the best model had the players respawn at their last station/base if the capital ship was either destroyed, docked or disconected.
This is one of the things i would absolutely love to see in FL, it would allow for real long distance fights with multiple fighters launching from the flag ship to engage etc etc
However, as people have said, the lag problems would be horrific. If this could be done without lag it would be amazing though:D
Yeah, this would be a cool thing.
I got mental images of people destroying an enemy's battleship and killing entire fighter squadrons in the process.:lol:
We used to hide in the front part of the Rheinland battleships. If you're careful you wont bump the battleship. So as long as they aren't moving, you can chill there for a sec to regen your shields.

We're a guild, that mines gas. Isn't that strange?
We supply Sirius with H-Fuel...like the Middle East supplies oil to the world.
So, put that in you pipe and smoke it...
