omfg my heads gonna explode, i love the devs if they pull this off!!!


and omg i hope they could implement boarding, instead of outside battles they could (try) disable the ship then instead of blowing it up dock and overtake the ship,THEN they could do this on Novas,YT


"even i get boarded sometimes"-han solo


SHIBBY!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as we don't have Mon Cal cruisers, roaming around, how you're going to get dozens of people up there just to operate the thing is beyond me. Also, with a length of 400m, imagine how long it will take you to run to repair all the components

Entering the ship itself after a successful dock does sound like a nice idea though.

just being able to fly between any of the capital ships, whilst they are having a battle, and there is the small chance of being hit by cross fire between the battle would be most excellent



or even to be able to in a future release fly along the death star would be cool,


or fly across hoth or you all get the picture

xeero are talking about vettes,should be owned by guilds only,and not a by a single person?


or you mean the big Capital ships?ISD ship


an ISD type ship yes i can agree with u on that..but if you mean Vette..then no I don't,these arent really much bigger than a y-8..I took a drive by of one they other day..that was under attack by Rebels.Gavea tour to new person to the game ,of Kessel to see those black holes there,and a chace to see a vette up close ..got lucky there was one there at the time



and SW building vettes..hmmm not sure about this..look at what it takes to build a nova or yt1300..LOL how much stuff would it take? and only the uber rich will have them,cause u know


these will go for millions..i see some guys charging over 10million for this at first..heck i paid a few million for grevsious ship..so i didnt have to deal what that quest to get it LOL


but i do think,SW masters need more ships to build..How about some gunboats and/or that IMP shuttle craft? and a new yaht built by SW..some type of master yaht..a bit bigger than the reward ship. and even make it have a few turrets and a frt gun like y8

As long as it takes a lot of people to crew these ships, I'll be happy.



Oh and allow us to launch TIE Fight Squadrons off of em.........

I assume your refering to Star Destroyers. In that case, dont hold your breath. Its likely SD's wont be included as player owned. They are just too big to fit in the space zones.

Mmm. You do have a point there, though even still, in the case of the Vette I sincerely hope it will have a need for a decent sized crew to actually be effective. It's done with the current multi-passenger ships so i don't see much reason that it still won't be, but still I can't help but be a bit dubious



- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.

I still hope to see a version of my old friend Colin Mor's ideas come to reality like he has helped other online games improve over the last 8yrs......




Old Colin Mor's 2003 JTL thoughts and ideas.....


http://forums.thehonorempire.net/index.php?showtopic=4460 (copy paste the addy to left into browser)


I still now agree that since LAND based control is contingent on the performance and control aspect of the PLAYERS themselves....so should the space routes and/or planetary blockades. (while one faction could lose a planet control...they could then work to reduce support/supply ships by creating a blockade in space....akin to Star Wars Episode I)


These same Capital ships that could be built up by Players....would then become targets for the enemy factions as well as bases of operations for GCW missions in orbit of the planet OR within the trade routes of the star system.....thus providing a potential TRUE domination of the Galaxy by a faction. Provided that the planet have been secured by eliminating all the bases of the enemy....planetary orbits could be used.....but I would rather see this remain open ONLY to an initial spawn that would then be tied to the complete vanquishing of a factions enemy......Trade routes honestly should be the area players could ADD to the number of capital ships patrolling.


The potential of forcing combinations of massive player productions to build the uber ships would foster more community interactions and heck.....put the players to work for the DEVS...in building thier "special In Character Ships" they could then utilize in an event of the GCW.


In summary.......lets put the PLAYERS to work in building and supporting the Factional FLEETS.......let the Galaxy be up for some great space battles!!!!


Example.....

Rebel Shipwrights and Guilds begin a massive deployment operation to take complete control of the Naboo trade routes and blockade the planet (where the Emperor currently is residing)as they begin to wipe out all forts and bases of the Imperial side.


Rebel Capital ships are noticed and thier Fleet begins to grow in the Naboo orbit.


Imperial Guilds are notified via factional memorandums.......they begin to support and order thier Imperial Shipwrights to increase production to launch a counter strike Fleet into the trade routes occupied by the Rebellion.


Imperial Pilot Missions are posted to begin attacking the Rebel Fleet trying to establish a blockade of Naboo

Rebel Pilot Missions are posted to support the Rebel Fleet......THESE CAPITAL SHIPS MUST BE DESTROYED IN ORBIT of NABOO before any bases could be rebuilt on the surface (else the Rebels will planetarily bombardard any installations being built........this NPC SPAWNED BLOCKADE would be now a massive undertaking by Imperial forces to subdue....and rebels could PVP to stop them hehehe


Will the Imperial Forceshaveenough firepower to defend and eliminate this threat to the Emperor's designated retreat planet?

Will the Trade routes being taken over by the Rebels be returned to peace and governed by laws of trade....or will HUTTS and REBELS continue to destroy commerce and expand chaos and death of innocent workers and businesses


THE PLAYER SUPPORT will decide........


Sure we could just do that with pilots in fighters over missions......but to be BUILDING and to be RESPONSIBLE for the Fleet Capital ship and the fleets compliment.......now THAT is what SUPPORT is.......or is not.



Additionally it would still be a hoot to see/hear about HUTT aligned player guilds taking over a trade route or planetary system FULL of important resources......hehehe

Now THAT would spark up the other 2 major Factions......Imperial and Rebelbiwan: ........oh my would that be something.....all fighting over the big rock in the sky full of resources.....hehehe



COMBINE THIS WITH my last chat with the old man........specifically about Planetary control and how it could influence the space TIE in.......



While planetary control is ongoing by the number of bases on a planet.....influencing the NPC population and "flavor" of control on a said planet......this should then influence the space in orbit around a said planet.


IF.......IF a side completely removes ALL bases of its sworn enemy then a Security Fleet would appear in the planets orbit.


This would allow protection of the planet from any further invasion and establishment of any more illegal bases that to date continue to cause the losses of finances and life from innocent galactic citizens.


Only after the Fleet in orbit was destroyed could any opposing bases be built on the planet again.....since any attempt with the fleet in orbit would be met by orbital bombardment and destruction.


The Fleet that arrives (spawned) would be linked to the number of bases at the time of vanquishing the enemy......for example only.......say 100 bases would mean 1 capital ship would appear. Further additional bases WOULD NOT increase capital ship arrivals.


Now this would provide a GCW factor in space and ground that would spur combined and coordinated activity on both sides to insure the protection of the innocent civilians could be maintained.


May the "Powers of the Force" be pleased........

(what do you think Devs?)
