cool!

What you said. I never said that you can make a ship a faction base. I said that you can make a planet a faction base and dock your ship to it. This can happen regardless and shouldn't affect your idea of balance. That was in my post:

That means up to a point your average "fighter" will be the size of a frigate and a bomber would be the size of a cruiser. They are used(bombers) because they are hard to hit, even flack isn't reliable. Fighters are used to take out bombers, generally not touching the cap ships, then you have...

And it didn't break my short cut :D

That can happen anyway, having ship based FTL wouldn't change it or add it. That is the logic you fail to see.

In order to use the FTL you will have to, wait for it, undock...

So... you don't want bombers to be useful? Guess no one will build fighters then!

Wouldn't that just make this a really large ship without invincibility? I beg you, please think about what you are posting.

When you want to use it what do you do? Oh... right... You undock it!!! It can be attacked at this time. Having logic complements having an imagination BTW.

You can't make a ship into a faction base. Maybe you should use your head...

Hey, look! My exact specifications for my prefered FTL!

It is always fun to theorize... just so long as you don't make a new god damned thread...

I like the research part... everything else... not so much...

No, what you have is a cool down. The farther you go the longer the cooldown is, if you make short hops quickly it burns out and you can't use it for a while... It would of course have a distance limit, if you hit it the drive core breaks and has to be replaced(it will have a long charge time...

Personally, I want to be able to run away with it... if it can be tracked... think about any sci fi out there with warp drive/hyper drive...
