Search a bit harder and you'll find that the answer is "no".
The game simply isn't capable of recognizing a roaming base. The best that's been done is to have a ship dock with a player controlled battleship, and then immediately have his client crash.

You could hide in the battleships cargo bay though. When the bay doors opens to jettison stuff you could fly inside and hide there.

Wasn't there a problem with collisions when that was done, though? I thought the 'docked' ship just got tossed around like a ping-pong ball whenever the battleship moved.

i tried that once to npc not only were they tossed about but when i engaged cruise he soon died. Theoritically it wouldn't be a problem if you docked and pushed z so your ship would just go with the bumps

If you can find where the formations settings for autopilot are, you can set the positions to inside the battleship. That way you won't get banged about. Only problems are when the battleship docks or performs a jump.
