I'm just curious if you could connect two Libs at once to an Idris. Heard something official sounding recently that said when you dock ships they will all quantum together.
How many docking ports does the Idris have?
- Thread starter Shadow Reaper
- Start date
Yes, while talking of Legionnaire, think it was a Q&A or something, with a question about "What happens if the target ship quantums while Legionnaire is docked," the answer was that docked ships quantum together.
Which kinda makes most large ships carriers tbh.

Yes, but the question remains, can you dock two Libs to an Idris? This totally goes to understanding how versatile the Idris truly is. If one idris can support two Libs, that makes a task force possible that we haven't thought of thus far.
Note, the Lib does NOT have bunks for all the pilots that might be found onboard, but docked to an Idris those pilots might find rest. So what can dock matters HUGELY when it comes to real gameplay.

Since they are getting rid of all vertical docking ports, the number is unknown since the model I've looked at has those. IIRC they are round, as well.

I don't see the Liberator as needing bunks for pilots. In fact given the speeds we travel and the preponderance of bases, it appears beds, in general, are overrated.
In Stanton, you’re surely right.
Beds make sense for role players, or for that player who tried ‘homesteading’ on a moon. I suppose there might be a case for beds in ships that for ’reasons’ have no quantum drive but are supposed to go a long way from home, perhaps to transport quantum-sensitive goods. But I can’t think of any such ships we have right now. If small cheap Auroras have quantum drives, why would any other player ship not have one?
But it looks very much like CIG intend to eventually give us a galaxy with lots of systems that are worth at least some players’ time to visit, are not well provided for with stations or settlements we can use, and either take a long time to travel to or traverse, or have some intended gameplay which takes a long time to do. Exploration, surveying, extended-duration military tasks (attrition combat, defending a position or station, siege or infiltration perhaps), intelligence or data gathering, science experiments, or leisure cruises might work.

The limitation looks like it will be fuel, not time. Systems are crossed in minutes, not days.
Sure there might be an edge case or two, but generally, you are going from fuel stop to fuel stop. There is little reason to need a bed for general use.
Quantuming and jumping is different. While they said in the past that you "could" quantum with a ship locked to your docking port , they never said you could use jumpgate in that configuration.
