The disabled ship thing was something I was thinking of the other day.
Maybe the Devs could pull the Marketing foot out of their asses regarding the "fly on the Millenium Falcon with Han Solo" ad line by creating a mission where a Rebel Ace has to go and "assist" (since an egotist like him would never allow a word like 'rescue' to be used anywhere near his name) him while he makes repairs before Imperials have a chance to overtake and board the Falcon.
The same thing could be suggested about a high-ranking helmet-wearing Imperial official being stranded on a Ye-4 in transit to the Fondor Shipyards for an inspection of his future flagship.
Obviously, the only way you could "fail" these missions is if you weren't efficient enough - the characters obviously can't DIE (yet, in one no-so-cryptically-suggested character's case).

Assuredly not a new idea. It was planned from the beginning and removed in the early alpha/beta due to problems. Hope it makes a comeback someday. Just like multiperson vehicles weren't in at first due to technical problems, I'm hoping this gets solved someday,

Sounds like a fun idea, but a Theed in space? That's a little out of hand. Having a guild launch 3-4 POB and having them all dock, reasonable. Although the Nova, Decimator, Y-8, YT-1300, and Yacht are big, having two or three of them would easily acomodate a large guild of 40+ members rather than just 1. Even the fighters could dock so guild members could rotate and have evryone test a certain ship out. Or even just two fighters docking so that a pilot could recharge anothers shields, reactor, and other repairs in emergency situations. Sounds fun. Add it after the bugs ingame are fixed.

What would be the point of such a large station in a game like this? Guild meetings in space is what I come up with. Parties on ships. But a space station? It would take to much work to do something like that.

Just an idea. It could spark more space PvP. It would be cool not to have to go onto the ground for a long time lol. Of course, it wouldn't be much of a change of scene, would it? I suppose you'd have to have a supply shuttle fly up every once in a while, or a shuttling shuttle to shuttle people. Shuttle...shuttle...

I have a house on the ground but I live in my yacht. connecting it to a guild members yahct/house would be fun. But I still like the idea of a massive docking of ships. Not a battlestaion because ships can't move while docked, but a space HQ. No one could bother you above Lok space and if someone did, 4 POB ships would be deadly. Hmm, sounds a little like a battlestaion, but more HQ.

Start with one ship. On one side have another ship dock, do the same with the other side, build from there, each ship docking with the next one and so forth. Eventually you would have a little glop of ships all linked, able to walk wrong the ship on the far left all the way to the far right..now...then you start with the docking of ships on the top and bottom. See what im getting at? it would be a station made of ships..If i had my scanner working Id draw a strech of it. Ppl could setup stores in their ships, they wouldnt be vendors..no no..they would be real ppl (unless they let us do vendors..but you would still be on yer ship so...). I know there are alot more ppl in SWG that would rather live in space than on a planet then it seems. I myself live in my Y8, avoiding ground as much as possible.
And with this comes the question, would you be able to store a persaonal fighter on the PoB ship? The more I think upon this idea the better it gets in my mind. I see no reason they dont let us do it.

Heh, if even if they just let us log out in space and actaully stay up there that would be great.
