No, if you want to cruise the Empire in the lap of luxury on Origin’s top super yacht while playing host to the rich and famous, then you have definitely found the right corporation. TL;DR - WE HAVE THE SHIPS TO DO IT ALL. SCROLL DOWN FOR FLEET GRAPHIC. Okay, the nitty gritty: We are a small group of mid 20s through late 40s US-based folks (across all US time zones) who are long time MMO gamers, and right now we're ship-rich and people-poor. As we get closer to beta there are old friends who will be joining us, but with our current fleet and desire to try it all we'd really like to make some new good friends. We're not looking for many, and we're looking for a specific kind of person. Who you are doesn't matter, we are completely open and accepting of all people, it's what you want out of the game that will determine if we're the right fit for you. If you're wanting a smaller, tight-knit group of folks who just want to have fun in the verse and who have the resources to basically try anything in the game from day one, then hop on our website and, if you like what you see, fill out an application. Or, hop on our Discord and either chat or leave us a message. We want some new folks who are as excited about this game and its potential as we are. I've got an image of our current organizational fleet posted at the bottom so you can see our ships, and of course a martini glass. Let's get this party started. If you don’t have Discord I think you’ll like it. You can get it here: https://discordapp.com/download And you can join the CONAM server here: https://discord.gg/rnBehBj We're still gaining steam, so if we're not on just shout out and we'll see it later. the H/M/C tabs on our website contain a little more information about us... https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/CONAM ... and the Spectrum CONAM forum is a place you can read through past discussions. I invite you to check it out by clicking the link below! https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/CONAM Looking forward to seeing you in the 'verse! =D -
++++ See Sister Thread and Vote on the RSI Forums for greater sampling First Section Below describes first POLL Question.... We know that only Carrier ships like the Bengal, Pegasus, Javelin, Idris and Connies can launch and land ships in combat ...... but CR has mentioned we can haul ships within other ships cargo holds (if they fit). Now the question is will CIG allow us to attach other ships to the cargo spindles on the Hull Ships to haul them from system to system? ^^^^ This for Hull A-E + other Transports..... = only "Ferrying" other ships ...... and not....... ^^^^ This is like Bengal, Pegasus, Idris, etc... a Carrier that can launch and land ships in combat to refuel / re-arm / etc.... This is different than simply hauling via a "Ferry"... EDIT - Adding this below to OP to help illustrate concept... Second Section Below describes second POLL Question.... We know that both the Hull D and Hull E are designed for a MAX 5 Crew. If you look at how big the Hull D and E are you will notice that 5 crew don't need the all the space of the front forward sections for these ships. Should CIG design the Hull D and Hull E to have an internal cargo bay in addition the the living quarters for the crew in the front forward section (since it is obviously big enough)? If you look at the image below you can see that many of the smaller ships (to the left of the 890 Jump image) can easily fit within just the forward section of the Hull D and Hull E and these forward sections have more than enough extra space to provide an internal cargo hold in addition to crew living quarters.

So I was looking at the current ship roster and it kind of struck me as odd that there was only 2 transport ships. Then upon further reading i discovered that even these are used for combat. I'm wondering if there is any info on Freighters. Like a straight up transport ship with minimal defenses just made for trade. I like to play the market, buy in bulk at low price then sell high, whether to players or to npc. I absolutely loved hauling on Eve, so that was my main role. With this comes things like smuggling perhaprs as well, as I have read there is some highly illegal items around. Not sure how this would work but I'd be interested. I think this would be a viable path, whether it be a giant freighter that has to hire other players to bodyguard it on its voyage or a small cargo ship making a small profit on short trips. There is so many possibilities. This also goes for mining ops, with a transport ship the mining ship could stay and mine (provided there is trade of goods in space). So, any info i may have missed would be appreciated, and general hauler discussion
