in some TC patch notes the other day it was mentioned that you can invite up to (or around) 30 people to your ship, as they dont all have to be in your group anymore.
[edit] I am also curious how the mining ship will work. if there are multiple weapon points, could you have the mining laser at one, and a tractor beam at another? that way one player could shoot the asteroids to pieces, while the other player drags them all in. that would be nifty.

The notes also said that only the ones in your group could man stations.
And there only 4 stations on a ship....... You have double the people in your group just incase one dies or something.
And non group members can still repair things and heal people.

Personally, when my crew starts *dieing*, it's time to head home. Maybe that's just me.

The way I see it, that's the escort's job. If they can't handle it, no way I'm hanging around.

wow, i just want that dang ship! that is HUGE! thanks for the pic above ^ !!
wait, someone said it only has two hardpoints..... a ship that big would have 3 hardpoints, if not 4. allowing only two weapons on something that big, is just ridiculous! i hope there can be more weapons.
i wonder how much interior space there actually is though.... because only the top half seems to have any volume, and you know some of that is for the "storage compartment" or whatever.
but either way, i just want one for the status symbol!!

Its a mining ship it sounds like its just designed for mining lasers and tractor beams not 3 or 4 hardpoints to make it a huge mp fighter.
I can't wait to get one. I like the idea of mining my own resources in space. Plus I can then make my own parts as a shipwright. I like the look of this too just hope it stands a chance against pirate attacks etc.
1 question though I either missed or it hasnt been addressed yet, who can fly it? If one person is able to get the ship and take people up can any of them jump in and maneuver if needs be?
And yes I am a Sullustan with a small one so need a big ship to compensate.

I hope it has more than two hardpoints. Enough for a couple of weapons to defend against pirates and such. Turrets like the other MP ships and the mining laser / tractor beam for the pilot.
