Me and a few corpies were dicusing this in our corp chat earlier and i thought it was a good idea to post to this thread. We think it would be a kool feature to be able to dock a small-medium size fleet into a mothership whose name alone kinda warrants this feature. It would be a really kool thing to cyno in a mother ship then have a medium size fleet undock from it and go to town.
As you can see we just have the basic idea here feel free to continue the discusion.

It's not possible, from a technical standpoint, to dock inside another ship. It has to do with a character owning a ship and its contents (which causes issues when 'contents' includes other players).
It won't happen any time soon. CCP has openly stated they have no intentions of changing this any time soon, if ever. |

Would be nice to see. But I would imagine a huge amount of work. Probably the kind of work that goes into the majority of a full expansion.
+1 for real mother ships. |

Technical issues can be resoloved with effort.
Note: The new starbases may have jump drives. This brings us one step closer to docking in ships. |

They have flat out said that they won't touch that code because it's an insane amount of work wading through the spaghetti code with an enormous (effectively guaranteed) risk of screwing up seemingly unrelated gameplay for little to no benefit. There's a reason they refuse to touch that code without an extremely good reason (hint: 'wouldn't it be cool' isn't a good reason, much less an extremely good one). |

Actually, this is originally what CCP intended to do with "motherships"
The problem was that they couldn't get around the code, and actually make the transition gracefully. |

I like this. Slavery should be implemented immediately. |

I've heard stories of someone getting their clone stuck INSIDE a module in their hanger somehow (took a senior GM and a lot of digging to figure that one out). The game does screwy things when it's not sure who owns what anymore. |
