Think about 2 objects one docked to the other, the pilotable one is the lifepod section, the rest is ther rest of the ship. It could work if SCP enabled removal of the "breakaway" when you move to quickly when docked.

Would be hard to build. The creation of a long-living debris, or even one that has some hitpoints (but must be invulnerable while the fighter explode, otherwise the explosion-damage would destroy it too) is maybe more easier.

When the Escape-pod is docked, you would probably run into the problem, that you shoot away the cockpit, while the fighters continues fighting (it should be disabled once the cockpit is gone). :)

You could just make a flag that tells FS to blow up everything when the EP is destroyed while still attached. (It would be harder to hit, so this should not affect gameplay too much)

i dont think thats a good idea. if you just model it into the debris, itll look cool, be 'there' as an 'explanation', and wont affect gameplay even in the slightest. im talking debris here, i REALLY dont think we should try to get manual escape pods. thats just dumb... you dont 'fly' an escape pod! ;)

If you compare the size of FS fighters to that of their pilots, the pilots are probably too small to show up well on the targeting gear. Also they're probably using some kind of low-observable technology so nobody decides to kill the pilot while he's floating around helpless. So I'll stick with the simple ejection seat and sealable flightsuit.

yeah, i would too.

i mean, the urse (for example) is what, 48m long? thats pretty big, if you think about it.

the PERSEUS is 20m long, and its a 'small' fighter. (not to mention overdetailed :nervous: )

Nor do the Shivans. And even so, people still get shot at I imagine. The FS fighters can move slow enough to get a good shot at the pilot, and you're pumped up on adrenaline, probably pretty mad at the guy for trying to kill you...
