I'm ok with the mining ship being a quest reward. I predict the quest reward will be a one time use schematic, and the quest won't be repeatable. That's how they handled the Droid Head quest.
That is dumb. Well, i assume the ship is either unattackable or never decays. Becuase it if dies and you are true. We will be screwed and i sure in hell will flame the devs harshly for the first time. Most of my rants have been very mild.
I would say the chassis not decaying would be the simplest solution, because you know it's going to be attackable.

I'm assuming you're right, but there's the possiblity that it won't be attackable, but that the pirate element is just in trying to keep the pirates from grabbing your rocks before you can bring them in. I'm sure you're right though.

Okay, this might be a really gay newbie thing to say, but my ship has died many times, not ejected one or two times, it its still there, costs about 5-6k to repair but its still there, if your mining ship died, why would it be gone? I havent gotten master pilot yet so if your multiplayer ship dies will it go away? If you deleted the blueprint or deed, or control unit for the mining ship, yeah its gone and your an idiot for doing that, but i really doubt that you would lose the ship if it died, especially if it were an non repeatable quest item.
POB ships decay. They decay till they hit 1 hit point. At that point, once your shields and armor is shot to hell, you will die instantly everytime making it worthless unless you got great shields and armor to save your hide with the skills to back you up.
What i don't like is the fact SW are being shafted like the rest of the crafting professions by not getting the right to make as many as we want. Hell, i wouldn't care if it tooks tons and tons of resources for it since it is huge, but i don't want a ship that can be decayed to 1 hitpoint and never able to get a new one because the devs thought it would be fair to make a 1 time quest reward. That is utter BS. I truely hope that is not the case. Sadly, we won't know till at least thursday if not later.
If they screwed us, i will truely be up in arms against the devs for that. I am forgiving and easy going but i do have a point where i even say no more.
