Meh, still reckon it would be cool to fly inside, and it doesn't really seem that implausible to me to be able to fly inside a ship. Ill leave it up to the designer.

101 resons to post this: 1.) Being able to fly inside a ship for once would be αωε∫°√λε.
2.) Being able to fly inside a ship for once would be αωε∫°√λε..
3.) Being able to fly inside a ship for once would be αωε∫°√λε...
4.) ...

You realize this can already be done in the Raynor and Titan?

We know, but that's only a very small space to fly in. I'm thinking bigger....say............the whole length of the ship?

Which is why i changed my thinking from just a hangar bay to a hangar bay that has service corridors attached to it. Repair drones and such would be stored in the hangar bay, so it makes sense they can fly through the ship without having to go outside it.

Of course the drones wouldn't be shown, if they even exist in the FS universe anyway.

Nothing beats lining up forty Arcadia in a race track and flying through them on a high time compression.

Angular acceleration * angular velocity * epsilon (is this a limit?) * [the integral of the square root of lambda (wavelength? did you mean T, period?) * epsilon (that almost makes sense, since we must be dealing with limits) (from negative infinity?) to zero]

Without proper context, I cannot evaluate that expression!!!!

Dunno about the drones ( haven't heard of any in the default FS2 campaign or BP), but the "flying through a ship thing" sounds interesting.
In BP are one or two ships that have open hangars, was nice flying through.

But for the suggestion you made, imo that would require a HUGE ship, thinking about an Juggernaut class ship with more then 12 km length.
Wouldn't fit for a warship, but more for a long range science vessel/ generation/ sleeper ship ( similar to the explorer ship from B5 ).

Dunno if or how that fit in FS2 Universe.

The ship here is way to small for that, but i like the design.

Re: Battlecarrier (1600m capship)
The only time that I think flying in a actual ship would be if you had to go destroy a über juggernaut. Like, A HUGE (notice the caps lock) ship that is so large that a few dozen Terran destroyers could fit in it (like, not in theory, but with enough enough free space for them to go fit inside). And rather then sending in hundreds of ships to uselessly get swatted by it, rather send in a few fighters and bombers to destroy the reactor from the inside. And by scripting cause that to make the ship to go *BOOM*. Like, it would be fun to go and have a dogfight 'in' a ship, but if everything from destroyers up had these massive fighter bays that you could actually go in and be concealed, it would make everything kinda cheap.
If this doesen't work, we'll all be talking Shivan.

Re: Battlecarrier (1600m capship)
I agree. Entering a destroyer where no AI can attack you or where no cannons can shoot up your bombs is unreasonable. That's why you put anti-fighter beams in the ship (or something like them, just with a short enough range to avoid damaging the ship).

Re: Battlecarrier (1600m capship)
The few other people who had seen the actual model file were appalled by the way I had just plopped loose chunks of geometry onto the surface of the mesh. Also, I ran out of ideas for how to detail the less detail-y parts, and got side-tracked by numerous other things.

The turret, however, found its way into a handful of my other projects. It might also be a worthy entry for Getter's turret upgrade project.
