M50 stuffed inside a Freelancer MAX

[IceShades]

The M50 seem to fit inside the MAX's hold.

Do you think CIG would allow to load small ships in the hold just like any ordinary cargo?

I'd take it as far as to enable a small ship to land and takeoff from the hold in space just like the Connie and Merlin.

I can already fit my Graycat in there

That would be sick. I think I have my racecar truck though. MAX FTW!

I don't know how you were able to calculate that the M50 can fit in a FL MAX other than through FU, but I guarantee the wings would punch out the side of the FL MAX. haha

All that is is a screenie from someone who claims to be able to do it without actually showing if they altered the dimensions.  Believe me, though, I love the idea, haha!

I think Star Citizen should be able to haul ships and ship parts in Cargo Bays (if they fit) ------ but they should be treated as Cargo where they have to be manually loaded and off-loaded.  Only Ships that function as Carriers should be able to Launch and Land ships without it being just "Cargo". 

 

Same thing applies to real life.  Truckers ship race cars all over the place

Yea, they could just code in an option to turn a small ship into cargo containers (think disassembled wing) so they fit inside the cargo bay. We'd just put it together at the next docking hangar.

Added a "sister" thread to this one on the RSI Forums

On Geekdomo's StarCast Podcast - http://www.twitch.tv/wtfosaurus (now live - I'll post the recording later) - he also goes into upgrade clarifications and Connie Clarifications.

 

There was a Question about the M50 fitting inside a Constellation.  Ben replied by saying that they had a recent meeting on this... and thinks that I can fit in the Connie (since it is so small).  This means they intend to have the possibility of Hauling smaller ships inside of Larger ships (if it fits in their cargo hold).  There was NO DISCUSSION about the M50 being able to "Launch or Land" in the Connie ----- so it will "probably" be treated as Cargo ONLY and you'll probably need a Carrier type of Ship like the Idris to launch and land ships.

If it fits, it will surely be an option, depending if they need a frame to secure ships for cargo holds. It looks like it barely fits as it is.

More info on the Hull A-E series in this video about 12:30m into vid.  Ben Confirms you will be able to haul other ships inside the cargo bay of the large freighter ships

I'll buy your freelancer MAX off you, if you're interested.
