There are no limits once game is live. Not unless there are constraints on the economy that would affect it's production in which time you would have to wait it out.

No artificial constraints but all the ships will be affected both by scarcity and the in-game economy.
It's all still super in the works but rarer/more expensive ships (Banu Merchantman, captured Scythe, all the capital ships, etc) will have much longer manufacture times than your bog standard Cutlass or Freelancer.
Even variants may be different- CIG at one point (ages ago, just as an example) said that the Cutlass series would be produced by Drake at a 70% Black, 20% Red, 10% Blue ratio.
And I would hazard a guess that the 500 or whatever amount of Polares (Polarii? Polarises?) made per day/week/month, the ones used for insurance replacements will be used before the rest go on the open market.
A Capital ship is and should be a big investment, and CIG has been pretty consistent with saying that they will take a good chunk of resources to operate. So it stands to reason that acquiring one would be more strenuous as well.
So do I want a Polaris?
Hahahaha nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Ugh, ships suck!
Hahahaha nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Ugh, ships suck!
This works for me, and it's part of the reason why I have some of the ships I have. It gives me something I like to crash while something else is getting repaired. But as far as any of the capital ships are concerned, I'm more likely to want to be part of the crew rather than the owner.
It would be just as fun for me, and
Plus, if it was needed, I can do trade and mining runs to help pay for the loss. If I'm on the crew of a ship that blows up, I wouldn't have a problem doing my share of the work to help get the ship back.
Judging by CIG's info, bringing the pad to a standardized size would at the very minimum increase length and height as the targeted question regarded a RSI Mantis which currently does not fit. I'd struggle to think they would reduce the width if they had to also increase the length. I mean of course they could.. but the model would be so much different than concept

I thought we agreed that all of us should want all the ships.
Eh, if you ask them, I'm sure they'll say Freelancer won't fit in 890 or that "it isn't designed to". It does, however, fit. Snugly, but it fits.
Pretending to increase something whilst at the same time reducing it in reality is classical political move. Maybe while they make the imaginary lines on the floor larger, they add few struts on the sides or something, making things not actually fit. Kinda like Pisces has few completely unnecessary struts that seem to be there specifically to prevent Greycat Buggy from fitting in. Meanwhile the pisces seems to have those stubby wings just to make sure it doesn't fit other craft, like Valkyrie.
You got me there, dammit.

Well, the Owl and you are always welcome to the bar and bridge of any of my ships. After all, the more memorable times are the times when things don't go according to plan. For how can you truly top the epicness of attempting to sing northern war songs while forgetting mountains don't bow before us. That Asteroids don't give right of way and that we are indeed not bulletproof as much as our ego says otherwise.
Well, I'll be there. Haha. The best shit shows are the ones that happen together!
It better not be I just bought one!!
Not sure if that's how CIG is categorizing "large" vs. "capitol" ships. The Origin 890 Jump is listed as a Capitol ship and it's definitely not a warship, unless you consider going to war with a bottle of Scotch. ;)
Anyway, I thought CIG was basing the class of the ships by size and components?
I hate to be a me too, but I'll gladly say "ME TOO!"
I upgraded my HH to a polaris this morning.25 dollar store credit upgrade.
CR: Has Operation Pitchfork started?
ST: Yes. We have a problem, though.
CR: Vanduul wiped everyone out already?
ST: Uh, no, Chris, actually the Vanduul are on the ropes.
CR: I guess the Kingship will have to carry the day.
ST: The Kingship lasted 23 seconds. It took 743 size 10 torpedoes hits and almost twice that in size 9 torpedoes.
CR: ... We should have made the Polaris limited quantities sooner.

@Slagg It would be nice if there were skins in general. I'd paint mine all black. ;)
Makes it look even more evil!!
