Nation space trident manufacturing

Apr 16, 2016 We all float link
Since the Latos M-7 ship yards are so small now, it seems a gigantic station is not needed to make tridents. This being the case, capital ship construction should be possible at nation space capital stations. I suggest that M-7 be converted to a fully stocked Corvus station. Trident manufacturing would still possible there for those who are KOS with their home nations. The other three nation space cap stations would also allow capital ship manufacturing. Perhaps the tridents manufactured at M-7 could have some special corvus features (built in widow maker turrets? or something else equally evil?).

The devs minimized the station to assist in players getting out of M7 when they are done, not because the space required for manufacturing is smaller.

Sorry, this is one asset that needs risk.

You can always go play Wing Commander privateer if you want a single player npc universe, it's available on gog for 5.99

I suspect some manufacturing might occur in nation space capitol stations in the future. For example, fcp and ffsa at lower levels for f2p players could get them hooked into building and then fully subscribing. I could see being able to build some other trident parts in uit if you get to POS at some faction (like docking bays at tpg and a few other parts spread around). But, other than that, it's good the way it is.

Tridents are not for civilians hence why we can't make in nation space. But! There is no reason we couldn't make ffssa fcp mca from nation space not like they are dangerous, hell we can buy solid explosives! Give us more manufacturable items!

"Tridents are not for civilians hence why we can't make in nation space."

Completely false. Every single faction in the game owns Tridents. They are not a military ship, regardless of the "Frigate" in their name. That's just marketing trying to jazz them up a bit.

You guys keep trying to find excuses to move manufacturing out of Greyspace so it won't be dangerous, but what you don't seem to understand is that it was specifically put in Grey so that it would be dangerous.

I'd like to have things for f2p people to make in nation space, useful things like weapons and special power cells etc.
