Your idea is a bit unbalancing because there will be a long time before you research larger hulls.[/B] something we must think about, but the fact is that it makes no sense to research large hulls! If we could take the material to space cheaply (so basically our problem is propulsion), humanity could RIGHT now assemble a 1km long ship capable of carrying several starfighters inside. The largest ships in the world today are over 450 meters long, and they support the weight caused

cant these ideas be MODDED into the game?

but i guess the purpose of carriers would be to make the game more realistic... that is... small fighters without the capability of travelling one entire month to do one battle and then returning to rearm.

Thanks Nomo Mo. Maybe next time we talk, we will have already built space elevators around Earth. (for space elevator news, visit liftport.org ! These guys are planning to deploy a nanotube space elevator by 2030...) ps: I said in my earlier post that ships using nuclear pulse propulsion would be able to reach Barnard´s Star in 10 years. Maybe. More probably, they would take some 40 years. Much better than Voyager of course <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/BigSm

General Pants, I loved your idea for how carriers/fighters would work. Do you think its possible for such thing to be created in a MOD instead of an official release/patch/sequel? But I have a few suggestions/opinions: - no need for a new hull size. The tiny hull should be used for fighters. Tiny ships shouldnt be able to travel by themselves during weeks (turns) over such long distances. Hiperspace engines shoudnt fit in a small jet.

Hurray for ideas that dont make sense... It makes sense. The fact YOU think it doesnt make sense doesnt change anything If anything a smaller ship should be able to accelerate faster since it has less mass.</T

For some reason, I dont like the idea of small starfighters travelling several parsecs during weeks... I wonder if its possible to create a mod which would include: - new tech tree, where you research ship docking tech/hangar bays/different sizes of hangar bays - hangar bay modules - impossibility of adding engines to small spacecraft - impossibility of moving small spacecraft around the map without a carrier - adding small spacecraft to a
