A class of ship, fairly large, larger than miners, called the freighter. It can hold a lot of ore, bots, items, oxygen, etc... and separates multiple player's goods, so everyone can share one freighter. Probably not controlled by the player, but guided by the player, such as giving it commands. The owner of the freighter can give command of it to other players like admins and mods on this forum. Probably could have a lot of its own defenses, buyable from anyone who is deputized by the owner. Can be used to create a base, a sort of field hospital, or transport large amounts of ore to be sold. Very expensive to buy.

Not exactly a mothership, not exactly a player ship. It is mobile, player controlled. By player controlled I mean that you give it commands like, "go to this position" or "follow me". It is kind of a mobile base. If commands are too difficult not functional you could make it player controlled.
Well actually what I mean is kind of a mini base ship.

i think something of this size was mentioned, then dropped fairly quickly because the mother ships weren't mobile yet. they would have multiple players one to fly and others on turrets and would have a docking bay for mining ships. personally i like this idea, i think its great and adds a whole new range of possible missions and disposable objects (S**t, i did it again) err, i mean weapon types.

:) yea I do like the idea of manning the guns for a large scale space battle of "defend the ship" you could even have people in your faction that specialize in piloting/firing from turrets/defending mother-ships/co-op ships.
Didn't someone compare this idea to crimson skies?

Yeah I mentioned Crimson Skies... i liked that whole AA gun and controllable missile action thing. Yep kinda reminds me of the zeppelin story line.
OP- Alas, the cargoship "Unfinished" - It can store'em, it can be dropped, it can have an arsenal of weapons of the users choosing, it'll, rock'em, and sock'em and knock'em dead and for only 19.95 you can be the proud owner of one too!
So without futher ado, we are proud to bring out and introduce (drum rolllllllll)
A ship named "Unfinished"

I want to add a giant engine booster (like those booster rockets they use to help get lift on the C-141 military jet). on that ship.
