Okay hears an idea, would it be possible to have a new ship with a hangar in it to re-arm and repair allies? I know the y-8 would be big enough lol but a unique ship specifically designed to hold other starfighters. like 2 or 3 of them. also there would be a new slot in these ships for repair droids and ther effectivness, droid engineers would craft these. just an idea for a support ship anyway. oh and capital ships couldnt go in the hangars...lthats an ovious...

1 last thing, we should be able to dock with out buddies and pick them up in times of need! i hate just sitting ther and watching tier 2s rip apart a friend and i cant do squat cuz hes attacking my faction of guys.

That is my 2 cents...

i think there should be NPC ships for this. but only in DS.



Like the Hangar on the StarDestroyer should be accessible by Imperial Pilots to repair and/or rearm. But i think when you rearm, you can only load missles in your inventory. not be able to just keep getting missles loaded for free from the SD.


And for rebel pilots they should be able to do the same at the SpaceStation.


Asking for a Player ship to do this is just too much it would never happen. But since we've seen the video at fanfest showing a pilot docking inside the SD, then we know they have the ability to make the SD and RebelStation interactable. So I think asking for Repair/Support abilities from those two units is the most achievable goal.

no man u missed the point compeltly.

im talking about support ships WE can fly and that WE can have people land in OUR support ships. and yes u wouldnt get free missles itd b from ur invin but therd be an option to reload so u dont have to land every single time u wanna reload missles cuz it gets annoying, ya know?

but yeah i mean i want a ship that we can fly to help others, cuz some people jus likes to be that guy with the healing feeling

and i could prolly draw my idea up or sketch it or something but i think many people would fly these because they could probobly make a buissness off it or help friends.

maybe it could have a turret or somethin?

Devs are working on capital ships and you will be able to dock with them. That's all the hard data we have atm. Once it hits testcenter or a special testserver we might learn more though it'll probably be under NDA till 24 hours before going live.

Any rumors of letting smaller ships dock with smaller ships? and letting that dear old friend climb abvoard before he gets blown into oblivion.


And any rumors of a new ship for help because to me i think thatd be an awsom idead because then ther could be people who could hang back and help ppl, like a feild hospital in space

um i didn't miss the point at all. I"m just telling you that I think it will never happen and that the closest your going to get is being able to dock with NPC ships, like the StarDestroyer or RebelStation in DS.


We need a lot more changes in JTL before they start working or even thinking about this.

Rumors aplenty, but I only read them. Ifnew features are not posted by a red name, it's not worth the time typing.
