Loaded on a capital ship, can the Dragonfly be stored in the cargo bay or does it need to be placed on a port like any other ship?
Cloud Imperium
For the Compact Mode to be actively deployable, the Dragonfly will need a clear access port inside the ship, though we're not fully locked in if this will be a full ship-port, or possibly a vehicle-port like the Greycat currently uses in hangars. We're also still exploring crate-storage for ship transport, which would be more flexible in cargo placement, but any ship stored in this manner would not be immediately accessible for flight.
