As i think i have stated before, i want to Give an idea out that a ship be able to contain peasent's, worker,crack whores,military,exct. and be able to be used in a shop form. a mobile base if you will. but a colony as well,


simply put its a Big Freighter Or Capital Class Ship

That would have the ability to use base equiopment like trading bay and extensors colony bvlue print's and those other extensions you can use to make a colony thrive. but onlyallow the ship to arm up to a adonis shield radar and energy with no weapon slots or aug slots.

Why? I have no desire to sit on a planet pretending to be a base for the whole universe.

So you want them to code a ship that acts like a base that can barely be equipped with any gear.

What is the point? What does this add to Star Sonata? Why bother spending potentially months coding all of this for no reason?

the advantage would be so that it may traverse between two colony's
selling good's commodity's But ypu can control as in Pilot the ship. is a p[ilotable weaponless / colony (without the planet base basicly

You can already use a Singularity Sphere to carry commodities to be sold at another colony. There is no reason why the SS devs would bother coding something like this for no benefit.

Again. I have no wish to squat there pretending to be a colony.

The person is talking about base gear, as in not just base-locked weapons but extensors, blueprints, et cetera. Re-read the first post.

Sounds like fun to me, having (basically) a colony, planet and station in 1. But it'd only work as a trade slave, otherwise it'd end up stupid having people
I'd love to have a loads of space oats planet be able to dock and sell all its oats to my proddy. ^.^

Extensors are locked, otherwise you CAN equip on ships.

I remember due to a bug once they unlocked on test, I had a rosie with like 500k hull >.<!

There is no incentive really, beyond the temptation to become a really fat ship. With your limitations neither will it succeed in being able to properly defend itself or for that matter garner useful resources. I could see it being a good idea with the right content but frankly I dont think it will happen. As another said if it has to do with power such as equipping base gear it would either be to powerful or useless. Unless of course you were to say not allow the ship to equip weapons (base missile launchers and aura generators) and allow it to equip higher levels of other base gear and maybe an aug or two. Thats barely incentive though, it needs a purpose... It could be that giving it some role in setting colonies up, as in a base that can dock at a base... if that is possible. Not sure I really like that idea but, it could also be some type of temporary attachment base that can latch on and off of planets at will (or within set boundaries?) Which base on your class will have different effects on the planet. ExE would have the usual, great extraction... CA, over a period of time could heal ever so slightly, but naturally, the planet (say those planets under 20 base suit if that still means what it use to mean) StM could temporarily provide bonuses to otherwise vulnerable bases (only while attached to the same planet)... and I guess... just dont use one on your MFM Iunno I CBA

TL:DR it would be a nightmare to code anyways.
