Could the ship carry fighter wings? :p

I'm hoping for it! The engine supports multiple player ships, so if one of those player ships happened to spawn from another player ship, and if that ship happened to be smaller and have a single player station, the engine doesn't really care.

Dual seat fighters with a pilot and a weapons officer are also very cool.

If we're not careful this comment section is going to scope creep itself into Star Citizen.

This is why I hesitate to attempt any fundraising. Stretch goals and donor rewards scare me.
Fortunately, the scope of this is significantly less than Star Citizen, since all of the first-person content of the game is supposed to happen in real-life, LARP-style.

Star Citizen might be too much, what about something like Homeworld?

Haha, true.
It might be easy enough to do this sort of thing on the user side anyway, in Artemis Spaceship at least you can of course just use multiple stations if you want. So you just need a ship without too much going on, I think.
