So looking at Corvettes and upwards, I thought it may be an interesting idea to introduce these. The way I would make them is:
Be a mobile unit like the other ships though with significantly more “oomph” to them. However the drawback being you can’t land them on planets and need a smaller ship to fly to this vessel that is parked in space. Basically, when not piloted, the spaceship would be a structure with a transition button that you can access when you fly to it. Then when landing the small ship on your bigger vessel it is docked and you can walk around in your ship. From there, you can take control of the bigger ship and utilize it like a normal, smaller ship.
What’d the bigger ships give?
- More structure limit: 75, 100, 150?
- Be a mobile base for a group of 5, 10, 15? players that could all use it as their ‘homeship’.
- Won’t have a lease tied to it but would eat up Stronidium or Fuel passively to remain active and not turn into a ghost ship.
How’d you obtain it?
Few options for that:
- Crafting with an excessive amount of materials needed and access to a space drydock.
- DM Received reward
- Maybe a questline?
