Thread: Empire day and new ships?

I was thinking since Empire day is in pub 19 what are the odds that one of the rewards for completing it is


Rebel/Neutral = YT 2400

Imperial/Neutral = Lambda shuttle


YT 2400 files have been found already and the lambda was being finalized at fan fest, it could easiliy be downloaded in pub 19, and considering only 2 ships where mentioned specifically it would make sense if thats what they did, what better gift for a loyal imperial to get on Empire day then their own beautiful Lambda or for the Rebel a YT 2400 like Rebel hero and merc Dash Rendar had.


Opinions?

- I support NO DECAY.It should be run like EQ . No 20k price cap on the bazar and everyone can craft. Its has worked for 7 years on everquest and there is no decay plenty of money and no crazy prices.

Decay is only good for crafteres and bad for everyone else.

YT 2400 = Dash Rendar's ship correct?


besides that, I think it depends on the difficulty of the acutal mission. If the Empire Day missionsare going to be easy so everyone can do them, I highly doubt that these ships that are (or atleast should be considered) master pilot box ships will be a reward. It will probably be some more crappy paintings.

i'd rather those ships be given to shipwrights in a new patch, quests are fun and all but those ships are something people have been wanting a very long time and to just hand them out will make shipwrights and pilots quite upset.


It'd be a much wiser choice if SOE actually listens to the players for once and plans this right.

Im thinking the Majority of player-pliots would prefer it being a reward. Goddness knows if shipwrights got schms for them


1. You'd have a hard time finding it like every other Master ship

2. It'd be Millions and millions of credits because of the iconic nature of the ships.


Why cant everyone enjoy these shipsthen only richfew with all the greedy shipwrights we have.

Sooooo, true X.



I can already see the trade forums and the spam from droids about these...Though crafters got the shaft lately...Seeing this type of ship in a limited schematic is just wrong I am afraid

You expect ships given out as a reward for a holliday that happens once per year would be easier to find than regular shipwright craftedmaster ships? You expect people to sell them for less than millions and millions of credits, if that's how we get them?


And just for the record: Most shipwrights aren't greedy at all, they just have to spend abnormal amounts of resources to build something that barely has a market at all.

THe devs have alreAdy brought our sales down some by give reward ships for quests. THis shold be given to shiprights but not to make reguallaly people mad this should be a tier 4 thing like all the other new ships and only take as much resources as a i dont know advanced tie. This would make it cheap and every one as a reward for the quest should get a schematic but this bring up the problom of every one has one and the yt 2400 is better and higher in the yt series so this would hurt master pilots .



I highly think they will not give us these new ships probally a hligram or some other things. THe ymost likly will give the schematics to shipwrights when capitol ships come out.

I'm not a shipwright but one of my friends in game is. Reward ships are crushing his revenue. Something like these ships should be rare. Otherwise they'll be just another ship you see in space. I, for one, don't want to see a hundred Imperial Shuttles in space. There was never anything to indicate those were widely available in the movies or the books. They are high end state of the art ships and should be expensive. Maybe that's just me, but I prefer immersion. Some ships should be plentiful (TIE, Xwings, Privateer ships) but not all. Yes it's a game and should be fun for all, but somewhere, somehow the words Role Playing should have some effect. Rarity equals "Cool! Nice ship man!". Flooded market equals "...". Again...just my opinion.

I think they've already stated that Capitol Ships will not be player ownable. Merely boardable and flyable within the context of the mission. Once the mission is done, you will not be able to fly it around and grind with it. Maybe I'm wrong and they've stated otherwise since, but I don't think so. Can you just imagine the lag as 10 players from each side bring they're Corvettes in for a battle royale with cheese?

I'd rather get it as a quest reward, shipwrights charge way too much money and i love these ships but i'd never be able to afford one. Besides Most people would rather get there reward right then after alot of hard work on quests. Its Lame to make someone do a quest then just hand them a part and point them in the direction of a shipwright, every good game design knows to reward the player after some quests, which is good SOE finally got on the ball with RoTW. I personally know many people who'd love not having to see a Crafter to get their hard earned Reward.


Besides the YT and Lambda where extremely common ships, the Lambda alone can be seen at 10 million places in the game not to mention the random lambdas that land and drop off troops or that are flying in space. Every Imperial Officer owns one.
