A supply ship travels with any U.S. surface battle group. It carries fuel, munitions, etc. The problem is the transfer process. It kinda gets tricky in rough seas.

I posted this idea a while ago and people liked it, but I guess the devs didnt :/


I also suggested letting the crew do the power shifting from the cap/weapons to shields etc (which would be far more powerful than the droid program way).


At the moment MP ships really have no practicle use other than storage, they only have the strength of a fighter and are MUCH easier to hit.

Anyway, I totally agree with this too, It'd be one step closer to making MP ships a decent force in space:

IMHO they should be (with a well organised crew) be slightly more powerful then 4 or som single person fighters.


The balance being you would have to actually have a well organised and well trained crew to make them that effective


so

MP ships are not fighters (not including fighters/bombers with turrets...just the big ones). They shouldn't be destroyed in two hits as they are now, and certainly should carry more firepower. I wish they had forward firing cannons as well. No, patrol craft like that aren't supposed to be offed by single fighters. They should be able to take on and hold up in front of several, at least.

totally agree. also, give the pilot control of at least one weapon. or trick out one of the missle launchers as a slot that can take either a missle or a weapon.


I also think MP ships should get a slot for a secondary shield. These are slow as dirt and need some extra defence to be able to stand up to the punishment that the smaller ships can dish out. Even with a great crew and targeting geniuses at the turrets, a M-22 Krayt could wipe out a MP ship easy with its 3 guns and the missle launcher.


i also think that if there is no one else on board, a pilot should be able to do some of the pilot specials. It's frustrating to have to get up and move to the operations chair, do a special, then get up and into the pilot chair when you are flying solo

yes this would be great addition for mp ships once they fix the plasma fire bug completly
as for the above poster or posters that mentioned this would make mp overpowered due other ships can't reload missle in space. well you guys aren't playing as rebel pilots are you? because all the rebel ships but the nove can currently reload launchers in space. as part of thier pilot skills. which was disapointing that this skill does not carry over to the nova. but my view is yes all mp should be able to reload in space mkae them more realistic plus chances and even on the ground if they were real you have to reload them from inside anyway



just forget about the time line it nolonger exits her hasn't for some time. we're in a virtual star wars universe and it our time line not the movies. so its what we make of this universe ourselves. once this is realized then you'll start having fun

Great idea, I like it.
It's kind of a joke that you die in a fully-manned YT1300
in seconds due to another players fighter vessel.
All 9 other crew members fun gone with one hit or two :/
A multiplayer ship gotta be stronger than regular 1/2man-fighters,
in shielding and gunnery and defensive measures.
But there's a lot broken in space and or needs to be adjusted or fixed.
Hopefully new patches will solve this,
we only gotta hang on.

Making MP ships thougher is a good idea....after all a ship manned with a few people should be able to take out some fighter before going down (not counting if the enm has epulse3). MP ships should be about a group working together not dying together because the craft didn't have enough armour/sheild to withstand a fighter attack


I mean...you will never see 4 X-Wings bringing down a Star Destoyer by themselves
