Since we can only have 3 ships, I wanted to go with a Decimator instead of the Sorosuub Yacht which, unless you just want a showpiece, is useless. But then, if I can ONLY be pilot of the Decimator (ie. no guns, no ops), then I might as well use the yacht since the Decimator will be just as useless to me 99% of the time. And the yacht is free.

Couldn't agree more. I bought my decimator already (even though I have Tier 4 to go) and was shocked when I learned from a friend owning one that you can't lock turrets forward.

Do not lock turrets forward tho, just add another weapon slot useable only by pilot... 1 weapon for the pilot won't make it uber, and the ship will still be a lot more powerfull when there are gunners in

For someone else to pilot the ship, they need to be certified for it. So its not like you can just pick up anyone at the starport.
And if it is a truely multiplayer ship then we should not even be allowed to call the ship without being grouped with another person.




But they dont have to be certified to:

  • Man a gun turret
  • run around making repairs
  • running ops

    As its your ship, I would make a guess that you would be certified to fly it ... it doesn't mean the rest of your crew has to be. I am totally for keeping these things multiplayer ... thats what they are there for, they take a crew to run them.

    I agree, they should have forward facing turrets, just for the fun of seeing yall post some threads about "how mp ships suck solo" cause they're not able to turn fast enough to keep up with ANY fighter, including the heaviest ones.
