Also it seems like everyone that has a youtube channel that even discussed starbase ages ago was allowed in even though they said youtube channels wouldn't be priority like I don't really care about who gets priority but I think openness on the CA selection process would be nice

In one of the combat streams one of the devs said the meta in ca at the moment is small fast ships as there is no good armour but once thicker armour comes in you will see bigger ships

With the long range fighters used for piracy where would you store the stuff you looted cos if you make it too big its not much of a fighter

indeed although you would also want to increase the engine size of the vasama so it could catch up to other ships to ram them

I would say weapons are probably not a cheap investment so it doesn't make much sense to try and put them on something as cheap as possible

Sounds good except pirates could probably just follow the ship cos I mean its kinda unlikely the pilot or crew are gonna look behind them and if they go into a dense asteroid field the pirate could hide nearby before the miner(s) get off their ship and look around

Also if your in deep space what are the chances a pirate is going to randomly come across you

You could set up your own faction or discord server that has requests for crews and acts as a place for people to organise and meet

If you don't want to be attacked don't go outside the safezone its nice and simple and means you don't need any more complicated mechanics

Does the destroyer have any internal hangers for transports or fighters

very detailed but do you think such a large crew size for the destroyer is practical especially with the debate of fighters vs large ships and the laser target designator

That's pretty cool so what is your estimated crew size

Cool destroyer but I can't see a bridge or many manned turrets for it but they could just be hard to see

I would say if whoever built/owns the station is not directly involved in piracy etc... themselves then people can't just attack the station so pirates and whatnot are probably safe to conduct business and if someone is waiting outside the station then they could take a different ship out or...

I think it might be nice to have slightly bigger weapons that take a lot of power so they are more viable for bigger ships

Thanks

Is the laser used in the targeting video a rangefinder or is it a device that has not been showcased before

Also I could see destroyers revert to a smaller state similar to what they were originally made for which was Torpedo Boat Destroyers which was a small ship with a lot of medium guns. So it would be a lot of laser cannons or autocannons with a few heavy cannons to take on fighters and light...

Yeah well on ships bigger than fighters I think you would see a citadel around the engines, propellant tanks and bridge with lots of heavy internal armour to stop heavy damage to important areas while less important areas such as a hanger/cargo bay or would have less armour.

Also I think people seeing this topic in a very binary way and so myself included ignore the fact that frigate, destroyer and cruiser type ships could still carry fighters more likely heavy fighters that could provide reconnaissance and maybe carry small amounts of troops or naval personal. For...
