Oh yes, is it possible to go covert in space on some ships? If I wanted to just sit around in craft in my nova courier, could I do so or would I have to be bombarded by tie fighters?

weapons are all customizable so there are no set generic styles per ship, its what you want. Mind you you do have a mass to work with but other than that you are free to customize what it can hold.

All components that u put in the ship will have the same effect, such as turrets... However, If u have a multi-passenger ship that is turning at the same time as a tie fighter, the tie will turn faster.. You get what i'm saying? The bulkier the ship, the hard to turn and such.

yes, you will just have to worry about npcs though so i wouldnt recommend going in more dangerous territory to craft, expecially when all other stops are a hyperspace away.

Eh, I don't worry about NPCs as much 
Besides, it makes a little more exciting if I get attacked by hutt fighters and I ahve to scramble to the guns. I was just worried about getting murdered by players.

How long does COSMETIC ship customization last?
Not sure as it hasn't worn off my Kimo yet. I love the customizations. There are 6 different texture kits (paint patterns) availanble per ship with two colors that you can select from the paint kit.

You can go covert on ALL ships.. When u start in space you are COVERT, then u go to your corresponding faction space station, target it, do /comm, and click on go OVERT, and then you are OVERT. However, if u are COVERT, u can STILL be attackable to NPCs, just not to PCs... If u are OVERT, u will be attackable to PCs AND NPCs.

Well that does answer a question i had in my head about the manuverablity of the MP ships, But i was just wondering if the Guns on the MP ships are Gernerally more powerful than the smaller 1 person ship guns.

Color is permenant unless you change it. Likewise you can both paint your ship and use "texture kits" to change the paint patterns.

A note on multiplayer ships:
Pilots cannot fire the guns (at least on the YT-1300) while piloting. You have to have a crew to man the ship. As I haven't piloted any of the multiplayer ships I'm not sure if this applies to them as well but with the Sorosuub Yacht in order to keep moving you have to be at the controls. Autopilot feature is not working just yet, tho I expect that to be addressed in the next day or two.
