I was just wondering, since we can't upgrade the sorosub, can it be made a bit faster, with more boost in the next patch?
On my server a lot of vets use them to ferry friends around, or to cruise the POI's without NPC aggro. It's still a great ship but it really takes forever to reach the station and land once you exit hyperspace.
Engine flames, like most other ships would be great too.............

So many of the changes ingame lately have been about making the game quicker for people who are too impatient, which is to the detriment of taking time to look around you and enjoy. Just accept something that was designed for taking time to smell the roses like the yacht, and enjoy it (and learn to hyper to the closest points to stations
)

I agree, it's a ship meant for throwing parties and socializing. I swear some people have lost patience. Why don't the dev's just incorporate a /teleport command so you didnt have to fly or bike anywhere, you could just be there instantly? It's not that bad is it? So it takes you a little longer to get where you want to go. Take a while to enjoy the game man. I once had a new person ask me how to level up the fastest. I told him to take his time to learn the game rather than mindlessly level up.
Not trying to flame here, just stating how the game is pretty easy as it is, have it any easier and the game no longer becomes fun. What's a couple extra minutes of flight time? It's not like you're going to be attacked by anything.

Still, it would be nice if you could put it on autopilot and not have to fly the damn thing.
At least thenyou could take in the scenery in style, whilst you crawl between destinations.

instead of patching it, why not just make engines and boosters upgradeable?... not everything else because its a noncom ship and everything else has to deal with weapons, shields blah blah and the reactor regen is already uber..

I think you are missing my point, I do take time and am not interested in /teleport (or even /travel for the sake of immersion), it's just that the current max speed feels to slow and cumbersom relative to other ships in the game. Just tweaking the max by up 100 points would be enough, max throttle is not compulsory.
Conceptually is it a sleek sexy yacht or a greyhound bus?
