Dockable Ship

Would it be possible to create a jumpgate that is also a ship.
it could be a mobile jumpgate that server admins could use. Maybe it could link to a pre-existing ordinary jumpgate.

no, no player flying ship CAN'T be used as a base, warp gate or anything other then to fly the ship in the game as a ship.

ok, would it be possible to have it orbiting an object like a planet?

You can have planets orbit if you make one in CMP and give it hard points. But no, it would be too hard for someone to dock at a base that is moving. Same with a planet becuase I do believe the docking ring wouldn't move with the planet so it is pointless to have a moving docking object.

*sigh*...The Freelancer engine doesn't and will never support moving dockable bases. The reason is simply that each base has a very specific dock/launch target that is static. Moving Bases = Crashing Games...Simple enough...
