I own an Idris and several Super Hornets. I want to base the Hornets full time in my Idris. All ships are on the same account, will there be a way to part and leave fighters in the fighter bay of the Idris?asked by Viperalpha
TL;DRYes, small ships like Hornets will be able to be stored in an Idris hangar by moving them between inventories, and the Idris is meant for friends or hired NPCs to crew.
So the answer is yes. I mean the Idris is designed to have a complement of small ships on it. I think in Squadron 42 we sort of decided that it has an active complement of two ships. So in the military it's two Hornets, then it has a back-up spare Hornet in case one gets destroyed. And that's sort of the standard core complement on a military patrol set up. So if you have say, two Hornets, you definitely will be able to have them in your Idris. Think of it like big ships have their inventories, and smaller ships have inventories, rooms have inventories. So you essentially move your Hornet from the inventory in your hangar to the inventory in your Idris which is basically the hangar there. Yes, you'll be able to do that. So you'll be well armed, and you should have able to hire either NPCs to fly it or more preferably with something like an Idris, which is really not designed to be a solo vehicle, you and your friends can have fun. As I mentioned a little earlier in the show, talking about the Hornet tracker and command and control ships, we're really doing some stuff on the bigger ships, the capital ships, that I"m super excited by that's really going to push it. It's going to be like almost a whole game in itself running these big ships. I think you guys are really gonna like that.
