Thread: What new ships, commands, components would you like to see for Pilots?

So we are up killing Imps to help a guy with his Masters last night, and one of the guys mentioned that he would like to see them make a Chiss Clawcraft.

This started a brief discussion on what other kind of ships they should have.

I personally would like to see either the "pirate uglies" or the ability to custom create them yourself.

(They are the ones that had a tie cockpit with Y-wing nacelles, or a Y Cockpit with Tie Panels, etc.)

I would also like to have the ability to dock with the corvette when it comes out.

Fly your fighter or POB up to the corvette, dock and come aboard!

I don't know why this option is not already available for the POB ships.

In the stories, Luke was always docking his X to the Falcon.

The docking feature is already there, as is the exit feature (only escape pod, but could be changed to feature an airlock that put you back in your fighter.)

Also, since you can use repair kits in space, how about being able to "reload" the missile launcher while in space?

And an auto-fire from the captain's chair (already mentioned in previous threads by others) that would allowa POB capt. to fire the turrets that are not manned.

Han had one on the Falcon. Wouldn't be too hard to do.

Not especially recommended, since it would consume a lot of concentration otherwise needed for piloting and shield shunting, but would help to get out of nasty scrapes. Especially since one of our player's is constantly loosing his connection to SWG!, leaving us with an empty turret.

The ability for any faction to run ops in a POB. I can understand the semi-logic behind not letting them actually pilot the ship, but an ops station is an ops station, and you are only loading and running the commands for the droid that is already loaded in the ship, independant of your abilities. You should not have to depend on finding a same-faction copilot for running ops.

More visitable space stations like in Kashyyyk. We should find ourselves walking around a space station, with a glorious view of the planet below.

Or if not a space station, maybe a Nebulan-B Frigate? We saw the Falcon docked to that in ESB.

Speaking of locations, I would personally love to see Cloud City as a future space area. Not really a planet per se, but an interesting place to visit.

Someone else had mentioned the ability to "steal" technology. I like that idea.

There is no reason the Rebels couldn't make a raid on an Imperial installation, (this would really combine the space and ground combat features, melding them more realistically) and steal either components, blueprints or even ships themselves!

This could be similar to the DWB missions, where you need to compose a large group and do fierce battle to get to your goal, but what a reward for a pilot! Remember Raaltiir(sp). The Rebs stole the shuttle Tyderium, then piloted later by Han and a group of Rebs (ok, I know Han was once in the Imperial Navy so maybe, just maybe, he had some rating in the shuttle already).

More realistic PvP damage. Come on! POB ships are damaged waaayy to easy by player fighters. Even the Tier 5 ships don't do damage as quickly as a player in a JSF!

REAL REBEL HELMETS! (sorry for shouting)

Well, I could go on (and on and on and onand on - I usually do)

But I want to see what the rest of you would like.....

I don't know about anyone else, but personally i've wanted toown, and flya lambada shuttle for the longest time. Just something about it i like. Probably will never happen, but that won't stop me from dreaming of having one.

I want a new ship that has a smaller hitbox than an A-wing, more mass than a dunelizard, the YPR of a Syck and two gunmounts!

Wait a minute...

I personally wouldn't mind seeing Bossk's Houndstooth, the YV-666. I would probably tack on the YT-2000 (I think) and the YT-2400.

I'd like to see some new POB ships. But before we get new POB ships... the Devs really need to enhance the current ones and make them more useful.

Heck, if they could just get the one they recently added functional, with a working quest to get it, I'd be happy

Most fights take several minutes between decent pilots. Imagine putting 75% reduction. Ever-lasting Capacitor-to-shield-shuntage.

My YT 1300 would like to get a real autopilot, keeping going even if the pilot leave his seat.
