I believe the devs have already stated that at launch there will be no capital ship or space stationinteraction at the launch of JTL, such as being able to board and walk around on one or operate equipment such as turrets.


This is something that they would like to do sometime after the expansion launches however.

Hey, any chance we'll be seeing capitol ships as player flyable?!?!?!?!?

I know GFL but I thought I'd ask

maybe have a capitol ship as a Guild hall... Now that would add to Guild wars.

That would be great. They should also allow purchasing ships with faction points like the imperial shuttle

With all the talk on the pilot forum about capitol ships, this has me very excited. Now, you may ask me what does that have to do with the merchant career field? Did you know that you can place a merchant on your POB the same way you can place one in city hall. (creating it in your house, then dropping it) So, what this says to me, is you can have your own Errant Venture. Imagine this. You own this corvette, it allows 15 people to dock in your bay at any time. They can come and go as they please. But, they need your comm officer's permission to dock. They enter your corvette, and shop your vendors. You want to try and stay neutral so you can get the most business of course. (a real business man never chooses a side, because that might lose him money) If you can stay logged in at all times, you as the owner can do this, then have guildies come along to help man it while you are away. to work the comm station, and the entertainment rooms (dancing, gambling??) You stay away from spawns so as not to upset the local bandits, or people trying to get xp. This will allow people to dock with you, repair their ship, buy supplies, sell their loot, and take off again. So, ask me again what capitol ships has to do with the merchant career field. And I will tell you that there are more possibilities with these new 'possible' features than anybody could ever dream of. Not just pvp. Not just PVE. No, these possibilities are endless, you just have to think of ways to use them. What do you think?

OK, I am going to cheat, and copy and paste this from my post from the merchant forum, and fix a few small words here.

OK, im sorry. here is a copy and paste from my pilot forum. Remember, I have merchant as top on my mind here, but I am trying to include all professions.



Well, not all of us PVP. So while that would be a great thing for us to be able to do, what other things for a capitol ship? Have you ever heard of the Errant Venture? Its a merchant/smuggler star destroy run by Booster Terrik. Why can't I have one of those? Already, you can place a vendor on your POB the same way you do in a city capitol. So heres my idea. You take off into the sky, with your crew. The crew consists of these positions:



  1. Pilot (this is obvious, lol)
  2. Captain (owner?)
  3. operations (same as before)
  4. Comm station (required to allow other ships to dock with you)
  5. medical officer in the med - bay (obvious, lol
  6. Entertainers (to man the cantina, allow them to clear your battlewounds)
  7. Merchant (to take care of those deals that require face to face dealings and not the vendor)
  8. Gunners (how many??

See, close your eyes for me, and open your mind up. There is a whole galaxy of possibilities of what you can create here. This doesn't have to be all about PVP. There are so many more things you can use this for than what is blatantly obvious. Just like creating a Ithorian bh, a Wookie dancer, or a trandoshan image designer, there are no limits to what you want to do with this games potential. Let us have our owned capitol ships. Let other ships dock with us. Let US worry about how we are going to use it. Don't put limits on this, because the more limits you place on us, the less we can use our imagination. The less we can imagine, the less we will want to play in a universe that was created just to open our minds up. This game already has so much potential they are not using. Dont take away this great opportunity to broaden the game completely.


Just my 2 cents, what do y'all think?

This is mine from the pilot forums, I was told that other one was hard to read, sorry.

This was supposed to be fixed months ago in the 2nd or 3rd patch after JTL went live. Did the bug resurface?

We've seen the video.....

We've dreamed of the content ......



I've seen over and over that code is done but there is no timeline or proposed intro to these. I'd love to get a full break down on the whole thing from a dev perspective. Having to search all over the net just for tidbits on this is hard and a pain at best. Having a clear statement on and about these would make a lot of players very happy or unhappy depend on what the news is.



ps. posted here because I know at least Tiggs stops by on occasion
