Seriously, how much of a joy it would be to take some sight-seers out for a tour of the Kessel Run and watch the GCW take place.

The point is simply that the Devs have made the yacht contrary to Star Wars cannon. Lando was able to modify his into a pseudo-capital ship. His arguement is, "He did it, so should we."

along those lines....I think there will be plans to make it a combat vehicle in the future however.
If you'll notice it has a tube, not unlike the ones on the two flying hamburgers and the flying hotdog.
Also if you'll notice on the bazar there's a place for gunner's ladder, command chair, etc. etc. etc.

just because someone did it in a book, doesn't mean that you can do it in a game. don't really have to go into the things that people did in canon that you cannot do in the game.

I've seen this post and I think to myself, "would I put a gun turrent on a Rolls Royce?" It's a yacht, not a gunship! Sure Lando did it, but he alsohanded overCloud City, Han Solo, and Luke to the Empire, do we really need to follow his lead. As a side note: I thiught the two things under the nose of the yacht were some kind of refueling port, like on some military planes.

heh, true. incidentally those things are sensor vanes. like antenna on those hug yachts you see cruising in the water. the Lady luck had one retractable cannon. it wasn't a turret, it was a controllable cannon from the cockpit of the ship.

I do not believe that Lando would have taken the Lady Luck into combat on purpose anyhow. In his dealings with the more shady people of the universe he needed a little protection. Just enough so he could escape from a bad situation.
Leave the yacht the way it is. I would though like to be able to texture and paint mine instead of lookin like all the other vets out there in thier white bricks.

Not really. Lando used it in JediKnight 2 too fight off some bad charakters. in and out of space if i remember right.
So SOME Weaponary should be on the sorosuub. It CAN be downed. You can allways get a new one, but you CAN destroy a sorosuub in space as far as i know. so it would make sense arming it.

my opinion is that the yacht is fine like it is, i see it as a flying house/cantina.
the only change i would like to see is that we were able to bring others into your yachtswho do not have JTL, that would make the ship a nice place for ingame weddings in space and things like that, in that context a max group of 20 instead of 8 would be nice too

the yatch is for travel and parties only, but I agree that we should be able to be faster with more space to place things,but not for combat.

There's also an entry on the bazaar for "Signs" which has been there since the dawn of time. Don't get your hopes up
BUT, I'd go along with the suggestions of adding non-combat equipment to it. Would love to see mine tricked out in a custom paint job, couple of heeyuge boosters and the gnarliest engines in town...
Where's my old 8 track of Barry WHites Greatest Hits...
That ain't no cannon sticking out of MY ship, nope, this is a luurv machine...
shoot, a guy can dream, huh?
