Don't you get it? milo has took example from real navy we have today!
Do you think space combat will look the same as 20th century Naval combat, 5.000 years from now? Jesus, this has been discussed before!
Look at Vorchan, it don't carry fighters.
Yeah, but look at the majority that carries them and as Damocles said :
Look at babylon5, even the corvettes have fighter launch ability, hell some transports do.
And every other space show carries them so SS should too.
think b5, the hyperion and olympus were average ea ships, they had limited fighters and were used for day to day operations, the omega was basically a carrier/destroyer, it had something like 48 fighters and the weapons of the destroyer, then you get into the REAL carriers like the aog ships, where they had 100+ fighters.
each ship can act alone, or be combined into a fleet and fill a role.
right now, the current ss ships are usless acting alone, they lack fighters, or heavy weapons, or both.
This is so true...[&o]
lets see, andromeda, stargate, atlantis, startrek, starwars, all the big scifi shows show that any decent capital ship has hangers that can support fighters, its not rocket science here guys, fighters would need the same kind of infastructor as shuttles, and dont tell me there would be any ship of destroyer class or larger that wouldnt support shuttles
I agree. Any decent corvette would at least carry 1 shuttle and 2 fighters, not to say the least.
Yea, why not? It is argueable whether Corellian Corvette (CRV) can carry fighters or not, but Lambda-class Shuttle (SHU) can dock on it and ride with it. When Damo refers to helipads, starships could have something similar, but those pads don't need to be inside the ship. Shuttle (or what ever) could just dock outside of the ship, like Union-class DropShip docks JumpShip outside of the hull.
Jesus! Why do you want to limit SS to current 20th century ships?[:-] Helipads, for a 1 km long ship? Yu must be joking... dock and stay docked means beeing vulnerable while everybody is sleeping inside the mothership you are docked too...
You remind me of the Spanish inquisition telling Galileo that the world doesn't turn around the sun PERIOD! And that anybody saying the contrary should shut up!
I am not the type to complain but you should leave Damocles alone with his work.
At least he has done lots of modding and even a full B5 conversion.
I haven't seen any work from you yet!
Additionaly everybody here in the community supports a bigger and better SS so if you want to keep with a limited universe, stay with the demo version or build a mod where capital ships carry helicopters on pads.[:D]
Instead of spending your money in buying many other games, perhaps you should give preference to SS.
And the freespace forum you asked me for to support your freespace mod on SSC is still empty.
