What I have a question on is when caps hip pilots will be able to launch In fighters or XCs to take missions from stations, or safely move cargo for ones self between station and capship. I trust my guildies and all, but I find it I combining for both parties to have to ask someone else to stash my loot for me.

It would also make it easier to repair ones own capship on the fly (no pun intended)

I am also curious now, with the concept if disassembling the Type M, if that will be forced in order to assemble the TTS. Currently it is impossible to own more than 1 capship simultaneously (I'm sure for obvious reasons,) but with some players wanting to keep there options open with the possible pros and cons to either ship, I would personally much rather go through a much longer, and more demanding process to build and maintain both ships at the same time.

Just a reminder that disassembling is not necessarily the direction the devs are taking things. The disassembly mission was a suggestion, which the PCC has been working toward.

I understand being able to launch from one's own capship in a fighter class ship is in the works (other interesting player-owned capship changes can also be found on the news feed). I have no idea When, but I'd hazard the likelihood of this happening is much greater than disassembly.

We're still working on being able to launch from your own capship. The required process of taking conceptually "ephemeral" items and making them "persistent" is a pretty involved re-architecture. Making mines persistent laid a lot of the groundwork, but also took much longer than expected.

Still, I'm hoping we might see capships you can launch from before the new year, if we're lucky. But I haven't made any News announcements lately (other than "we're still working on it") because we've been wrong a few times on this development, and I dislike posting inaccurate timelines.

May your bugs be few and easy to squash!

Yet another similarity between bugs and Itani.
