Not sure if this is the right forum spot to post in, if not have a dev move it for me.
So I was thinking the other day, "Why can't my Sorosub attack?" I mean, there is loads of space on it. You would have plenty for weapons. Maybe even some turrets on it for friends. So why not? Lando modified his so that it had retrackable turrets on his. He had blasters and missles too. So here is the list of things I think should be added to the Sorosub Veteran Reward.
1.) Let it be able to fight. Have an option where you can either keep it the way it is and to let it be customized with weapons and missles and the works.
2.) With the weapons options should come some turrets. You should be able to go cruisin' along in your ship with your friends, then suddenly be able to send them to turrets and have them take on the on coming waves of enemy vessels.
3.) Let it have more space to put stuff in. What I mean is, expand the current 100/100 item limit inside the sub.
These are my thoughtsand suggestiosn about the yatch. If anyone else has more Ideas, post em'. Anyone else like these ideas?
WHO'S WITH ME!?!?!?!?
Any other ideas?

if you could modify the yacht for combat... thenwhat isthe point to taking a piloting profession?
nah, leave it as it is. a pleasure yacht. a cruising ship. a pimpmobile. if you want turrets, then go up a tree, get master and grab an MP ship.

I don't think i'm with you on this one.
The Yatch should remain as it is. It was a free gift, like a badge, or a sweater. If you really want to enter combat, you would become a pilot and get a fighter. You want to have friends aboard, you make it to master, and get your MP ship.
I think the last thing we all really need to see are the brick-like movements of multiple yatchs in combat over tatooine with the black sun.

Thanks! i really enjoyed making it.
That room is indeed a turret access room. Also you will note that it has 2 locations for turrets on the hull.
I was always hoping that maybe if i hinted enough she would get guns... lol.

Ok, how about the ability to modify it upon reaching master? This way you don't lose your incentive for climbing a pilot profession tree.

I just thought of a reason why this would NOT be feasible as I clicked submit post 
This would hurt Shipwright sales of master ships, and possibly kill the different MP ships in the game. Why buy a new YT-1300 or decimator when the yacht would serve the same purpose?
On second thought, I'd amend my previous idea to say that the yacht you receive for free remains the same, but provide the ability for Shipwrights to make customizable yachts at master. Also I would make the yacht less manueverable than the other MP ships. This way you don't impact the economy and have an army of yachts in the skies when everyone and their brother eventually becomes an ace.
As an alternative, just make the 'free' yacht customizable only as far as swapping out non-weapons. This way you can keep it invulnerable and out of combat entirely, but not have to get up and make a sandwich before you get to your destination.

Maybe to get these additions, you must have at least Tier 3-4 or Master Pilot AND have to pay a shipwright to add these to the yatch. That way you have to get requirements like the other MP ships, and the shipwirghts still get their cash. Also, some people don't like the look of the yatch so they wouldn't bother to get 1 and just keep the reg MP ships.

only if it cost 1 million credits and 300k worth of resources.
as someone else said, upgrading a sorosuub (which is free) would cost shipwrights to lose that money and resources.

I don't want weapons on mine... that's what guild escorts are for
My only complaint right now with my yacht, which I do use often, is that I cannot take it into Kessel or Deep Space.
WHY NOT?
Seriously, how much of a joy it would be to take some sight-seers out for a tour of the Kessel Run and watch the GCW take place. Sure I guess it doesn't make sense to take a group of civilans into a battle area, but neither does the fact that the ship is invincible! Please, I want to take people to these places. Everywhere else is practically dead, player wise [ignoring the fact that at the moment some of these zones are not really in use right now].
