Ships larger then corvette class?

[Sevrojin]

other then the squad carrier witch is around frigate size. is there plans for destroyers or other frigates? how about cruisers or battle cruisers?
was there any example of larger ship tier playable in the predecessor games?

[Turd Ferguson]

yes.

It would be rly cool to have frigate sized federation and imperial ships but it dont think battlecruisers or anything bigger than frigates will ever get added it would be amazing but a battle cruiser would just wreck everything just think about an A rated max engineered battlecruiser OP af

Proud assumption there on the squad carrier. The other part depends a lot on the definition of "plans". There was talk about "executive gameplay ships" at some point, but nothing concrete has ever been said.

As far as FE2 goes not really. There were one or two ships that were technically slightly too big for the docking port on stations, but nothing exceeding that. The Panther Clipper seems to have been the biggest one in FFE and will be (don't stop believing!) the "Panamax class" in E:D since nothing bigger fits on landing pads.

There are larger ships, but only NPCs are having fun, flying those. You can only have fun in trying to repel them. :)

I just want a carrier class. Large jump range, can stow up to a certain amount of ships depending on your customization, can act as a depot for limpets, mining goods, trade commodities, etc- BUT CANNOT dock anywhere. I think it should hold 1 large, 2 medium, and 3 small ships. Just a small mobile station or used as a lead jumper across the bubble and beyond. Players should definitely have the ability to purchase a support vessel.

@Dave1029:
What you want is just a flying station. Ask Jaques, if he is selling his one.

Keep in mind that you may need to organise a Community Goal, if you want to get enough of fuel to make it jump. ;)

Storage for what I just said is about double the size of an anaconda. It's not that deep lol.

FD have said they will consider capital class ships for players, but its still a long way off from what I can tell.

[One Eye Jack]

So I thought we were getting fleet carriers. Is that still happening? I was looking forward to that.

It was right at the bottom of the priority list IIRC (as it should be IMHO)
