Default Re: New feature wanted - - - Space Docking

Still i dont see much use in that.
For the six frigates, actually if they arent "stone age" against high-tech cruiser but human designed ships with moderate tech they will most likely defeat the cruiser.

By docking ships together and making them single unit you would face the 'bug' with multi-targetting, and then your 6 linked baseships could only do as much as destroy one ship per turn, as would each baseship do resulting in 6 destroyed ships, not one.

I see not a single benefit coming from the idea of docking.

Tugs are a whole different idea, i've had the same thoughts leaving my kick-*** battle cruiser to limp to nearest repair bay loosing ships one by one when the repair is so close.... moveable bases too. I'd absolutely love to see THAT implemented.
