Command & Control and Radar/Scanning/Detection have both been mentioned as parts of the game. Will a spacecraft like the F7C-R Hornet Tracker be able to relay its gathered info to a C&C ship?asked by Dagger25
TL;DRYes, the Hornet Tracker is meant to have a larger radar array and relay information to other ships, and capital ships will have even bigger command and control, with more detail promised later.
And the answer is yes. The tracker's actually meant to be able to... Essentially it has a much bigger and more powerful radar array, and should be able to pump information to another ship and can receive it. So someone in a tracker, the idea would be they're sort of Command and Control for an air group, and there will definitely be big capital ships that have even bigger command and control. You could have a Hornet tracker relay its information to a bigger ship as eyes and ears further out, or possibly in an asteroid field where the visibility isn't very good. We're actually having a lot of fun on the capital ship building design. I think you guys are gonna be pretty blown away when we go into that in detail. Which we will do in the near future. It's some thing that the Foundry 42 guys are spearheading for us since there's so much capital ship stuff in Squadron 42.
