So I don't believe this was answered yet, how many items can the multiplayer ships hold? Or hasn' that been established yet? Thanks

You can only launch one multiplayer ship at a time though and you can only have "stuff" in one multiplayer ship at a time. So If you are flying around in your YT-1300 and want to land and Head out on the Yacht, you will have to empty the first vehicle of all it's items. Otherwise players would load up both ships and it would lead to a lot of dead database space.
Fix the database! As others have said, this is a really really horrible idea (why am I not surpised?). As you get access to the YT-1300 ship or one of the other MP ships you have to choose between the coolest looking ship in a the game and one that you can actually use for more than a floating house.
Don't do this. Honestly, it will ruin this wondership ship in the long run for the majority of the players.
If you want to fix your database, do things such as:
- Incrase crate size. No reason to have crates less than 100 or even 1000! When we couldn't split crates, this was an issue perhaps. Not now.
- Fix items which do not crate correctly (architects know what I'm talking about).
- Incrase resource stack size to 1 million, 999999 or whatever number you can handle with major changes to the databse.
- Implement stacking of identical items (such as loot), essentially making them act like they were a crate.
These changes alone would drastically redude the number of unique objects present in the world.
Also I think me and most others would rather sacrifice a lot or two to be able to put furniture in both the luxury ship and the armed MP ships....
Anything but this. Please. Please. Pretty please.

I'm happy using it as a spectator ship
TH next beta phase needs some more information like if pre-odering is the only way in?
If you want into beta, you should be registered. As has been said, JtL Ships at the end of October. The Pre-Order Beta Pack is most likely going to be the last phase of beta.

I actually don't mind only being able to deck out one ship at a time... and I understand the need for this (database constraints).
Quickquestions...
1) What IS the item limit inside a starship?
2) Do all multiplayer starships have the same item limit?
3) What happens to the Lady Luck if you destroy it... can you get it back later?
4) Do Musician/Dancer buffs and Doc buffs work while on a multi-passenger ship such as the lady luck??

Me too. I can't wait to get out there in this baby and check out the planets, nebula, space stations and best of all, the massive furballs. Galactic Tour here I come!

Please consider other options! For example, you could require us to donate lots to additional mp ships. I will gladly fork over a couple lots if it means I can decorate an extra mp ship.Great idea! This is a great way to resolve the database problem that the Devs have and our desire to decorate an extra MP ship.
Is it just me or do they use "the database" as an excuse for just about anything in the game and at the same time ignoring some very simple basic changes that could drastically help with limiting the number of unique objects?

Oh well. I'd hoped that was an easy fix. I guess we'll just have to pick our favorite ship and stick with it for now. Thanks for looking into it and letting us know.
Totally understandable, but how about taking the items in a ship and moving them to a players safe box in the bank assuming they have room available. This could be a toggle option or an ingame command to transfer items in and out of it. This ofcourse would go along with the whole 'remembering' where objects were placed.

TH, another question.
I know we won't be able to upgrade the yaht with weapons but what about the outside appearance like the color of it.
Would love to be able to color my Yaht Blue since it will be named "Colt's Pride"
