Well one of my guild finally got master pilot and I made his Decimator for him. We all then went on a ride. Travelled to Dathomir and pounded on some stuff including something we shouldnt have. A hueg ship called Dark Eclipse or something to that effect. But this isnt about that. This about the MP ship itself.
When we got too many plasma leaks, after fixing them all we still had the plasma leak on two conduits eventhough no damage was being taken and the ship itself was 100% fixed. Another odd thing was that even though it was a buggy animation, I could still "fix it" over and over. I bugged this.
With the amount of conduits there is only one safe place on this ship. Near the pilot. A plasma leak could break out anywhere and if your standing there, your gone. This also has a secondary negative effect as it limits the locations, severely, someone can place furniture and such.
Needing way to many people to make the ship even slightly viable is another problem. If one person flys it, its a wreck. A flying target. You need a pilot, operations, upper gunner, lower gunner, medical, and a shipwright (preferably buffed)to be even slightly on par.
Need a damage control terminal for the shipwright. Somewhere they can link up like the pilots and gunners so they can watch ship systems. We died thanks to the fact they werent shouting the damaged parts out fast enough on TS and I spent most of the time running through the ship trying to find it. Came around a corner and bam, incapicitated by a plasma leak I couldnt see til I was squarely in the room. The operations officer tried to get up to take over damage control and we blew up.
Anyway just my thoughts. The MP ship I consider a reward for master pilot. We have to do the mission in the PVP zone and the reward at the moment, honestly stinks.

I agree that multiplayer ships could use a bit of fixing, but when properly manned they're deadly.
A few days ago my friend found a bunch of people who let us go on their Decimator. We had a pilot, copilot, 2 gunners, and my friend and I were the engineers. We trained for a bit at Red Sin, then went into deep space (or kessel. I can't remember. Probably deep space.) and took out 7 corvettes and a multitude of fighters, dying only twice.
The buggy plasma leaks really need fixing, but if you could get the normal ones patched up in time you won't die.
Edit: Not sure if they need fixing in pvp, we didn't really face any players that night. Just npcs.

No skill required to repair systems or conduits, you just need the appropriate repair kit.

It would make it more "Star Warsy" if you could get your droid to fix the leaks and things, since in the movies, the DROIDS FIXXED EVERYTHING!!!
Then you could concentrate more on staying alive outside the ship...

ohhh... de's can have option to have droid repair module, where you can stick like different repair ktis dpending on module lvl, and it auto fixes anything going wrong....
remeber episode 1? r2d2 and his fellow droids zip OUTSIDE the ship to repair it.... heheheh
that would be cool to see ig.... or at least allow them to repair form inside...

What they need are plasma proof suits you can stash on the ship for the repair crew

What skills do you have to have to repair things?
Also, there should be some ships in the game that are there for the posing, like the AV-21, not fast, just cool. I think the YT-1300 falls into this category, as it's "the" ship if you're a Star Wars buff. Nice if they fly nicely as well, though.
