Capship shuttle

Sep 30, 2020 Drevent1 link
All capitol class ships should have a tiny shuttle ship that does not use cargo space
so that you can park and nip in to a station for a beer

armour 1000
ports none
max speed 40
no turbo
no cargo

not jump capable (WAF idea)

Add no jump capability and i'll add a +1 to it.

+1 since I can't see how it will do anything but save a few minutes here and there. It might even encourage some people to forgo the XC over-stuffing if making use of all 800 cu is automatically possible.

What happens when you get shot between your capship and the station? Is there a replacement mission? At M-7? Your last homed station? Within your own capship (need to catch an Uber back to your dent)?

Maybe is your capships one manu mission. Build a shuttle. About half the requirements of a Superlight.

Why no cargo space? Seems some kind of drone transferer for smaller stations would be cool.. and more functional since you can’t actually consume beer in the game

all capitol class ships would come equiped with one and you would be able to buy one at all stations
provided the original had been destroyed

and no they should not be jump capable
Oct 01, 2020 look... no hands link
I see one problem with it. If it uses ZERO cargo space, you could load a theoretically infinite number of them into a capitol ship in station then use them to over-stuff with XC's to a potentially unlimited degree.

LNH only one would be allowed in a capship at any one time

So just to be clear, if someone is killed in the shuttle, they have to purchase another shuttle and use that to dock, or they can't get into the capital ship?
If so. +2

no they can dock in a ship but it will use cargo space

+2

This would be extremly useful
About cargo space they would use, can be 50-75, because its just a shuttle, or even less.
