This idea is pretty old news (been around since JTL Beta 1)
So?
Here's the biggest problem with the whole thing... It's hard enough to get a decent crew for the current multiplayer ships.
If you had a capital ship, capable of having a crew over 30 (groups only hold 20 btw) it would be nearly impossinble to get an effective crew.
Thats why it would be a PA GUILD Capitol Ship... How many people are in the average PA?
6 people crewing an ISD would just be silly.
Yes it would... But we arent talking about Imperial Star Destroyers, which are CRUISERS, we are talking about Ships close to the size of Corellian Corvettes or smaller, which are CAPITOL SHIPS.
I like the idea, but honestly, even if it was implemented these ships would be so expensive and hard to crew that it would be a waste of time.
But when a whole PA chips in for one, its affordable now, and about your problem about crewing these ships, it would take a large PA to afford it, therefore there wouldnt be that many, for lag reasons, and they would be properly crewed, amazing!
Trust me, nothing I would rather do than crew an ISD, but realistically it's hard enough to get a crew of 4 these days.
Thats perfectly fine, but next time read the WHOLE thread and the WHOLE post
Now im not ragging on you and my inetentions were not to be negative, so i apologize if they came out that way
And I really do appreciate your input about this, without you, somebody else would have said something like this, and this way we can inform people about the issues that you brought up, so...
Thank you very much for your concerns about this
No problemo. At first, of course I took your reply as a flame, but been on these forums for awhile so no big deal man. Seriously, I would love to this done in-game. Considering my absolute favorite ship is the Decimator I would happily be a part of this going live.
I DID read the whole post, I'm not trying to take the wind out of your sails either. So, again, good idea. I was originally pesimistic about it because I've noticed a HUGE lack of organization, willingness to group, and in my opinion complete lack of direction is space. When was the last time you saw a fully crewed Decimator with a fighter escort in JTL???
The answer to that is last weekend! This renewed my faith in the possibility of things like what you are suggesting. We had 2, thats right 2 crewed Decimators and about 6-7 escort fighters all flying together last saturday night. I was amazed. The biggest problem we had was that some of the escorts were not ACE's yet so we had to set our sights on Kessel instead of DS. Point is, till now I didn't believe that SWG/JTL players were willing to gather as organized flight groups. At least not yet.
In past online flight sims it was only flight you had to worry about. No ground guilds to compete with. In JTL to gather that kind of group it had to come from at least 4 different guilds. Which poses some problems when trying to form squadrons... but I digress... It may seem off topic but in my opinion to pull off the kind of things that you suggest there will need to be something put in place to help keep pilots (jtl users that is) organized and able to easily communicate.
(I'll post screenies of that combat patrol soon on ahazi boards...)

/sigh And for the guy who said Petitions never did anything GUess what they do. We got rank Titles dident we?
see the post above this one. Now follow the clickie below:
How to post proposed content and changes
This is how we got rank titles. Someone followed the rules that the Devs play by. If more people would post in the format that the Devs ask, perhaps we would get more changes that we do now. But of course that would put an end to endless fodder on these forums and we all know we don't want that.
