Isaiah EvansonRemember you're doing those speeds in a vacuum.

I imagine it would require quite a bit of brute force to push something that big through an Earth-like atmosphere. But seeing how big some of the drives are... maybe not so far fetched.

i feel like the acceleration would take a lot longer and slowing down would be quicker. also overheating might become an issue flying too quickly. also not all those ships look especially aerodynamic.
the type 7 has probably the most flattest face

I wouldn't expect the size or shape of the ships to matter when flying in any kind of atmosphere.

Even though realistically, it certainly would, but then again, while many physics are supported in 1 way or another in the game, lots of others are ignored.

Pesky thing, physics...

This all goes to show you that the true marvels of the elite universe are the palm trees in tourism stations- virtually unaffected only a few hundred meters away from the equivalent of 8 simultaneous Saturn V rocket launches.


You know those trees are fake, right? They're made of fibrous refractory composite

I disagree. They are made from cortosis.

Cortosis IS a fibrous refractory composite

Kenji_088Well, ppl did not have FC's about a year ago so yeah, ppl used to do that.

I guess you could look at galnet for a good system under attack and then search on EDDB or here for the nearest system with a shipyard.
Or ask a friendly neigbor FC for a lift.




Looks like I will be going on reconnaissance to investigate.


Iam always willing to help a fellow cmdr out with a lift if needed, if you can find a location you wanna go.



Very kind of you. Think I should have a try the difficult way 1st as I am sure there will be some mishaps. It would be nice to have a lift in the future.

I have been building a xeno ship and see people seem to be using them off carriers.

I don’t have a carrier, and I was wondering if a slightly direction is possible…

If we ignore that there are other ways of going on carriers for the moment, where systems within the bubble are being attacked by Thargoids can you still land at a planetary Starports, with shipyard on a planet.

If yes, then in theory it could be possible to fly a xeno ship with any modules desired to reach the system, and next transfer any special modules to the station for the fight.

Is anyone aware of a planetary starport being attacked by Thargoids?

Lastly, have people tried using xeno ships not off a carrier?



Planetary base were never attacked. People were doing this prior FCs:
Use your exploration ship to move to the region - find undamaged starport and transfer your AX ship there. Then if you leave your ship in the nebulas and the station it is stored is attacked - then all you need is to find a nearby undamaged starport and repeat the transfer in order to use your ship.

You can use AX ship without FC - rescue ships provide refuel , rearm and restock



So the path is possible and the rescue ships have refuel, which will be most helpful.
Thank you
