I think that is a great idea. Needs some thinking through though...
What about this? A carrier type aircraft that can only have 1 to a outfit at one time, A large craft that holds 10 small 1 man fighter aircrafts (like the things in Independene Day) and has a landing bay in the back so fighters could deploy out the sides, then fly quicklys to a bay, get repared and get shot out their deploy slots again. I think it would have to be a high flying aircraft that mostly is for support reasons, A flying AMS if you will with some firepower (the 1 man crafts). I may be gettin carried away here I also had a idea (I know... thats always dangerous) that a carrier would have empire spicfic traits. Such as the TR having thier figherers use Chainguns as their weapons, the NC with missles as their weapons and the stinky Vanu with plasma bolts or somthing.

Also I think the Idea for a space expansion is a great idea! I was thinking Huge flying bases in close orbit of the planet and empires would attack echther to gain the bases, the bases would have diffrent uses like some would be dropship bases and some would be resourse bases and so on. Just a thought.

I think its always good to talk about thiese things on the boards (no ideas are stupid) becacuse you never if a Dev hangs out here

edit: sorry for all the spelling errors! Im tired...

I think this ideer would shift the focus from capturing bases and ground combat, to airial combat, wich i think only was designed as support in this game... Would give it to much power if you could repair you plane rigth over the enemys base, and give u an unfair advantage...

Afterall u cant spawn tanks and such at AMS so why should u be allowed to get aircrafts???

Remember that this is an FPS not a fligthsim... go play one if you love aerial combat :P

[Ginzue]

no no no... If the aircraft was over the enemys base they would just shoot it down, what im talking about is the aircraft would have to be a little ways away.

what I was saying was a flying mobile base, kinda like the AMS, but bigger, not really more powerful, and u couldnt spawn on it, it could fly really slow, and u could get air vehicles on it , or get a buggy to drop down to the ground, it would be just for getting a mobile base to a place that u cant get to by the ground, no guns on it, just really uber shields, and a bigass aircxraft carrier top, kinda like the bigass aircraft carriers they have today, only more futureistiecal like, okbyethx! BTW I had a friend, and he ate a grenade, and they took him to the hospital , and they took the grenade out, and they gave it to goodwill, tru story, OKTHXBYE KABOOM!

I'm picturing a gunboat pounding the shore.....

SPOOOOOOn

I really like it. And if it did indeed put the focus on aerial battles (most likely) they could simply limited it to 1 continent which would focus on aerial battles because the ground is unstable in most spots or something like that.

Yay! Dio likes my idea!

er, i don't really like it. It might be nice if they could find a way to implement it correctly, so it doesn't just totally fucking own every other cert in the game, but i doubt that is possible.

Sea stuff might be nice, but the only way i can see that happening and being fun is if they just drop a few warpgates in the middle of the ocean, with a few tiny islands nearby with bases on them where you could buy little ships, like gunboats and landing craft, and maybe aircraft. Maybe they could have some sort of neutrally bouyant aquatic infantry that could swim a little ways under the water before they start taking damage, along with new weapons of course. Maybe subs as well. It also might neccesitate bumping the max BR up to 30 or 35 so that you can cert in the water stuff to. But there is no way they could have just huge battleships or carriers and still be balanced, its just to much damage potential in one persons hands, and if they limit it, then we start down the path of bf and tks over equipment.

as far as the space stuff, buy a different game for that, it's to different and doesn't really fit. And the huge flying bases, to much power in one players hands.

[Frozen-Monkey]

that would be cool but how would you repair them?
i say have them be flying mobile bases or something.

Screw carriers, I want that! Nownownownownownownownownownow!#%
