Im sure people have talked about this but I was wondering:
Why cant the yacht go into kessel or wild space it might make them more useful. Sight seeing tours might be a nice tease to players grinding their way up to master and also it might be a cool light show to watch players fighting it out in space. Is this a bad idea? has it been talked about? Just wondering....
Another thing Im sure has been talked about but I cant find info on is why cant we stay in space when we log out. Would be kinda cool to spend most of my time or "live" out in space. Like I said Im sure people have brought this up and Im more or less just wondering what the reasons/answers were for these issues. While these are not critical issues they are things that make me go hmmmmm, thanks guys.

We can't bring the SoroSuub into Kessel and Deep Space because it's invulnerable. It would cause greifing. People could set up large blockades of SoroSuubs and hide other players so they couldn't be attacked, acting as their shield.
Still, the SoroSuub could always become non-collidable, or atleast for lasers, so bolts would still go through the ships... So I don't know why that doesn't happen.

And I'm not sure why we can't stay in space while logging out. Back in the BETA test, when you logged out in space, you'd stay and when you logged back in you'd still be there. But after a week or so, it changed so that when you log out, you go back planet-side. I'm not sure why. It makes no sense to me...

My thinking was since we cant attack or be distroyed people would simply leave them alone to "sight see". But I guess if there is a way to exploit people will use it.

This happens on ground too when you log back in sometimes you can walk through walls and get stuck in area's you wouldn't normally be able to get to otherwise.
The reason I recall this is because it happened to me once, as I got stuck in space and ended up having to start a new toon in order to continue in beta testing.
would be kinda funny seeing a bunch of toons running/floating/flying about in space.
Would they be attackable?
