I hate to nitpick (especially since I can't model) but if to quote: 'It's a fighter docking ring... occasionally for fighter construction and repair but primarily as sort of storage rings if you don't have a ship or installation big enough to hold a fighterbay, but you want fighters near' where will all the pilots go after they've docked to the ring? Wouldn't contructing fighters in it be more hassel than its worth, sort of like building an attack fighter on the runway rather than in a factory.

Thats hardly a run way, I thnk half of you point is valid however, but I think thats the Occasional word is for - when you NEED to?????


I still dont see where the fighters go? Its the scale how big is it? Those lader things look to close togther!:confused: (for me anyway)

ares sized fighters fit inside the ring quite nicely.
no ones seen a ship in a Ganymede before? i find that kinda hard to believe

Well, I'd say, think of it more as a storage depot and less a parking lot. A ship would tow them naturally.

But a good point has been brought up- You can only have one ship docked to it at a time I think (then again, can't the ganymede hold two? Or does it just have two docks? ) Eitherway, the one ring-row would work better.

I agree with Tar. It is far more likely that fighters would be constructed within the belly of a large station, like an Arcadia. as today, aircraft are built indoors, in factories, ships are built in docks, and on slipways, outside.

It would be daft for fighters to be built singly, and out in the open, it would be more likely to be done on a construction line in, as I said, the belly of an Arcadia.
