I used my Engineering template which has the Work In Progress banners. It applies and it doesn't. The images seen aren't all that new see and the model has gone through changes. I made this video to remind us of the stages parts of the game has gone through and enjoy that development process.

Mate that 1st time you look up at it from the landing pad and know soon adventures will be had :)

Totally. :) I get that already with the smaller ships wandering around in the various hangars alone. And it's only going to get better. :) tbh I was worried I might just be flying these multi crew ships with some AI but finally found a really good group to go out on adventures with. Totally makes a difference. Next target is the corvette. :D

Yes its 4 Small ships or 1 Redeemer, Ben Lesnik confirmed it on a Fan controlled stream I will try to find the link for you guys :)

What is going to be interesting with the Idris and Javelin is CIG has said that they can launch and land a Redeemer on these Capital ship (which makes sense because it is a Marine Gunship / Troop Carrier / Assault Ship).... however.... the Redeemer is actually a fairly compact ship....... so I bet the Idris could fit a Redeemer and at least one more fighter (since the Redeemer wouldn't take up as much space as 4 fighters).

LOL... I'm pretty sure that the Redeemer is NOT going to fit inside the Idris.  The Redeemer WILL fit inside the Javelin (actually, I think that's even in the write-up of the Javelin), but not inside the Idris.

 

 

The Javelin’s main hangar is also located in this area. While smaller than a dedicated carrier’s hangar, the Javelin can still accommodate a limited number of individual spacecraft. The Hangar is primarily designed to deploy a single Aegis Redeemer gunship and a crew of marines for boarding operations, but other ship types can also be stored.

The problem I see with the redeemer is the height. It's not as wide as a hornet/gladiator strangely, but it's very tall. That may be the limiting factor for fitting one on an Idris. Of course it will fit in a Javelin though. I'll definitely try to fit the redeemer in though. :)

BTW, I feel like 10 crew members is a bit scarce for a ship this large. I mean, the Tali is supposed to have 8 maximum crewmen and it's a 70m long one-decker. The new Idris is supposed to be 238.5m long and feature multiple decks. I'm guessing that either the RSI page is not updated or that they aren't counting a marine detachment plus fighter pilots

Yeah there probably needs to be more including security, pilots, assault etc. the more the better I guess.

the extra ships aren't included in the 10..

you can have 6~10 players skilled at multi tasking doing multiple jobs from  one console/computer/station or you can split it up and have 15 people doing 1~2 things each 

 

if you want marines, repair, crew,fighters in the hanger then your total would be around 16~20

 

I guess thats why you could have a few NPC doing the morphing of the floor etc :Þ

 

and i'm guessing we are still waiting for the stats to update later on when we know more about their new modular system and the idris is in a more "testable" state  

 

 

​like they said the starfarer would be operational with only 2 players

I agree "if" the Redeemer doesn't fit inside an Idris it will be because of its height not length and beam.  That calls into question my second favorite ship the Xi'an Scout (second to the Phoenix).  Due to its height in vertical flying mode it won't fit in an Idris - but it could probably fit in horizontal landing mode... we'll see.  I know my Gladius, Super Hornet and Gladiator will fit.... just hope I can get the Redeemer or Xi'an Scout to fit.  Regardless.... all ships can still dock with the Idris.

Yep, the numbers quoted are I think the minimum crew. There is plenty of space for more on these ships.
