So, I was thinking with the up coming changes and was wondering what people think of the idea of being able to transported with a ship with a fitting hanger. For example, the Orca. This majestic whale of the cold space. What if players could be station on it as well, with how they can in stations in citadels. What I am visioning is a mining fleet at a belt is working away. Suddenly pirates drop in, cause New Eden is like that Killer Whale that dives into the Seals as they frolic about. But the mining op has some defenses as mining drones rush back to their ships to be replaced with combat drones. But then several ships locks from the bay of the Orca to help to try and defend the mining fleet. Maybe it will give some pause as they have to consider what they can't see on a scan...others might see it as a greater challenge.
I'm thinking this would work for anything that can transport fitted ships. Maybe with the up coming changes, might see those ships entering the fighting as well. Well not an Orca but be interesting seeing a spot a lone carrier with it's fighters and maybe a small escort then suddenly several more ships undock.
So what do you think? Maybe that is more for the CCP strike craft virtual game. |

Because...that's not how ships work in Eve. Ergo, they CAN'T work like that in Eve. For the umpteen time.

OP... you might be interested in this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=494897&find=unread
tldr; Orca is getting bonuses to Remote Reps, more tank, more fitting room, more slots, etc.
And what you describe is possible. Simply load up the Orca with a bunch of fitted ships (ex. Assault Frigates or T3 Dessies) and if the miners are close enough to the Orca (sub 2500m) and have the skills to fly the stored ships, they can swap out their mining ships.
Edit: And if the people mining with you are flying Procurers or Skiffs, you do not even need combat ships. Simply fit the barges out for combat.
No... really... a group of competent Procurers/Skiffs are quite dangerous for a small gang to attack.
How did you Veterans start?

I know how the ships in eve work. If you recall, this is the "Player Features and Ideas Discussion" thread. So, as I said in the post before, it's just an idea. I thought it would be interesting idea. |

I looked at that link and damn lots of hurt out there. Everything from bumping to how it's op. Not going to weigh in on that but I do see the point you are getting at. :) |

If your goal is to be able to hide additional pilots in the orca ship bay in fitted ships - will never happen. It would be a way of transporting afk players, or titan bridging the nursery ship across eve bypassing jump fatigue for the riders. Then there is the whole 'we can't see you in local' group that would whine to the high heavens. Bypassing local in HS would make HS war decs a mess.
All that mess for the rare edge case of a surprise defense fleet keeping a mining fleet safe. I just don't see a lot of pilots hiding inside an orca all day waiting to defend the nearby mining barges. |

Fair enough. Didn't thinka bout AFK players and this titan bridging thing, not sure what it is as I started out as a miner and only recently gotten into FW. Players would still show up in local chat though...
Oh well, I guess if I get into writing fiction I can use it there. :) |
