Obviously you all have ideas in the works for ships in the future but thought of a cool one so I though I would share it.

Carrier style ship designed for a crew of four. Ship has two fighters it can deploy that each have decent offensive capabilities (say a Multi turret slot and a special weapon slot), one pilot seat with a Multi turret slot only, and a gunner seat with one special weapon slot only.

The fighters would be high mobility, a strong offensive capability, and low defenses. To restock ammo they would have to dock with the main ship.

Main ship would have moderate defense and speed but low offensive capabilities.

Obviously adjust number and type of weapons for balance. You could even design it for 3 players and only have one detachable fighter

A carrier sounds kinda cool

One interesting ship idea I've had for a long time is one that takes advantage of the fact that space has no sense of orientation.

The idea is that the ship doesn't have any sort of sleek or aerodynamic look to it, and the main thrusters are all around the ship instead of just the back. Such a ship wouldn't be able to boost very far, but would have extreme agility as it can move in all directions at equal speed. Able to easily side step anything and change directions on a dime.

The idea I had in mind was something orb shaped. The cockpit and vital systems would be in the center. The pilot guns would be on a track that can roll around 360 degrees with the main guns being mounted all over. Catwalks and airlocks would likewise be wrapped around the hull, and even on the internal layout since again, orientation doesn't really exist in microgravity. Sort of like a Dyson sphere.

have it fit two people and on the bottom of it have a small generator that gets powered by the ship and stuff. That way you can fit small guns on it or sum

The devs have talked about this before by implementing drone ships that you control from the main ship. It was in a previous Q&A session on their YouTube channel
