Just as we could use mroe freighters, I believe we need more combat-oriented MP ships. Right now, the MP ships we have are useless in a fleet engagement. A fighter can knock out an MP ship with a couple Weapon Overcharge 3 hits. THis will become important later on, especially if and when the GCW is integrated with the space side of the game. All factions will need ships that can survive in combat.

Well, in all fairness the devs NEVER promised atmospheric flight. In fact they said they doubt it would ever be added due to technical constraints.

This makes me think... I don't yet have a multiplayer ship, not even a yacht. Can one access the contents of your freight hold from the ground?
If not, that would be a perfect addition, allowing one to store large amounts of things in the cargo hold, and bring them with you from planet to planet. Then, add specialty smuggler missions with items that cannot be moved through any means besides cargo holds, and you have a winner.

Very good ideas, I have to mostly agree about the Smuggler idea you mentioned. Yes, yes /m0r31337s1n34g3

One thing I really want is to see more of the existing assets in my day to day travels. There are all sorts of designs that only pop up for missions, and yet all I ever see around stations are the the big box ships. Would it kill them to have the Transport shuttles up there too? You see them in starports, why not in space? I see hundreds of Lambdas overhead when im in a big city, and there are something like 4 naturally spawning ones in space. I know it wouldn't be too hard to create a "spacelane" between the hyperpoint and the station. and it would add a lot to the immersion of the game. There is already a spawn like this in Dathomir for one of the Crimson Phoenix missions. Ships appear at point A, travel to point B, then hyper out, in a random, cyclying assortment.

what's the deal with freighters at the moment? We can disable them, inspect them, dock with them and supposedly take their cargo but it doesn't appear in our inventories

Their cargo isn't really cargo. It's mission data. So, if you don't have a mission that needs that cargo, you can't get it. Even for missions it is just a check-off, not an item that goes into your inventory.

shame.It might have led to a bit more content in space - random acts of piracy

thats true...
but when ever someone says its technically impossibe its pure BS...
its probably the cost at the time... when ever they say its impossible it ends up in an expansion pack 1-1.5 years down the road or less.
