Where do you park the Idris [in your hangar], or anything bigger than that?
TL;DRVery large ships like the Idris might stay in orbit with a shuttle in your hangar, while mid-large ships could use a big landing pad, but nothing is settled.
Yeah, the Idris stuff, we've been talking about, where do you park the Idris in your hangar or anything bigger than that. Initially, I think we've been talking about maybe parking it in orbit and then taking jump ships down, but that hasn't completely been worked out yet, but that was kind of the premise.
Yeah, there's obviously going to be a limit just in terms of, at some point we're going to have to have a cutoff between what's practical. I mean, some of these ships, just given the mass, it makes no sense given the overall level of realistic fidelity within the game to actually allow them to be sitting planetside. And so, what is the largest ship we fit in there right now?
I think the Retaliator fits in there. The Caterpillar I thought was the largest. We've talked about having a big landing pad for some bigger ships that isn't in your hangar, that just happens to be a landing pad out there. [...] ship will stay in orbit and you'll have a shuttle craft sitting in your hangar and that's how you'll go back up to your big ship. We'll just have to see because the Idris is twice the size of what it used to be. It's a big ship. That may stay in orbit. It may not stay in orbit. But basically, that was the idea. The idea would be that the bigger ships, like the Starfarer and stuff, would be out on a jumbo-size landing pad in whatever the spaceport is on the planet you're on. But most of your ships would be in the hangar, and then the really big ones would be in orbit.
