In brief this is an idea I have had for some time that another post reminded me of. Can this be done IOTU?
Typical to the carrier idea, all jump engines are mounted on the carrier. The basic carrier has just enough maneuver drives to do 1g on it's own. Can the ferried crafts' maneuver controls be linked to the carrier maneuver controls when docked with the carrier so that they add to the manuever capability of the carrier.
My tenative guidlines were TL 14+, double the maneurver drive control points (MT) with extra CPs installed on the carrier.
Will this work? Why or why not?
