Frontier Developments' recent decision to limit the Nomad MK2 Vessel Bay to only the Panther Clipper, Caspian, and Prospector ships has sparked notable discontent among Elite Dangerous players. The community argues that restricting this new fighter bay unnecessarily narrows ship customization and combat strategies, especially as engineering changes have already diminished the effectiveness of Small Fighter Launchers (SLFs). A petition circulating on r/EliteDangerous calls for the Nomad MK2 Bay to be made available to all ships compatible with fighter bays, aiming to restore flexibility and player choice. This debate comes amid delays to the Operations update and ongoing concerns about developer communication and responsiveness.
- Nomad MK2 Bay currently limited to three ships only.
- Community petition urges broader access for enhanced customization.
