After a few travels with my new Mothership there came up some questions and ideas for improvement, see below:
Docking often fails, which happens partly because of the inaccurate borders of the blue zones.
Please make those borders reliable and maybe put in a button for captains/owners to manually restart docking/undocking procedure.
Unreliable borders in the blue zones have resultet in my mothership being attacked while unable to shoot back as we were still very much in the middle of a blue zone. Please correct those boarders.
Base structure of Motherships with only 500 SI can be killed of using just 2 quadwings within seconds. Is this working as intended ? Can the protection levels of the mothership be advanced to make those 500 point worth more ?
Friendly fire can be a huge risk for motherships, please implement a feature to assign fighters to a mothership and make them unable to attack it when assigned. Same please in regards to mothership gunners and fighters, please make it impossible to fire a shot when you aim at an friendly target - modern spaceship computers should be able to provide that kind of security.
Please allow an extended guest list, where the mothership owners can assign rights like in a soc terminal. It should be possible to assign captains who have the right to summon passengers when the owner is not present.
Currently a space trip can be quite boring for the repaircrew, if the mothership isnt attacked. Asside from pilot,co-pilot and mothership gunners noone can see what happens outside. Please include a monitoring network interface in the ship so people and watch space while traveling.
The lounge is nice but the windows dont show real space, please make the windows really transparent to allow passengers to view space and space battles when in the lounge. Please make this possible for the small and the large lounge.
Please display avatars when in pilot/co-pilot/gunner seats so you know who sits where. I know this might be difficult since the avatar is actually not onboard but in space when on his seat but there should be a solution to this - you could still just display a second virtual picture of the avatar inside if that the only way.
Please extend force channel to all fighters that get assigned to the mothership, regardless if they inside or outside.
Please allow an onboard voicechat system to be configured by the captain.
Please allow mothership teleporters to connect to teleporters of other motherships directly, if guest are listed on both of these ships. Please consider a docking feature for motherships between each other when in deep space to allow passenger exchange or crew rescue when under attack. Docking in deep space should still require both ships to stop.
