How many lots will it take to use it? (I keep reading conflicting numbers)
Can it be re-deeded if I want to get those lots back?
Does it have Hyperdrive so I can travel from planet to planet?
Can you name your Sorosuub?
Can I take a passenger who does not have JTL into space on it?
Thanks!

It takes 1 lot. The ship holds 75 items, equal to a small round Naboo house that also takes 1 lot.

It cannot be re-deeded like a ship, you have to destroy it from your data pad to get the lots back. But! Thing with the Sorosuub is that when you generate the ship, the original deed that is in your inventory never deletes when it gets created and placed in your datapad. The Sorosuub can be regenerated infinate amount of times from that deed and it can be stored in your bank if you dont want to carry it around or want to use the ship at a later time. Since the ship cannot be sold, nor traded, only the caller will reek the benifits of the ship having inifinate calls and cant make some kind of profit off selling the ships it generates.
Does it have Hyperdrive so I can travel from planet to planet?
Yes
Can you name your Sorosuub?
Yes, all ships can be named. The only customization restrictions on ships are Tie fighter's inability to be colored.
Can I take a passenger who does not have JTL into space on it?
No, in order for you to experience JTL content, your JTL features need to be enabled, and that can only be done with a JTL retail CD-Key. Just like now where we have all this JTL content in yet we cant access it, that is how a non-JTL players will be, they can see but cant touch or experience basically
Thanks!

Thanks for the answers!!
Kind of disappointing about non-jtl people not being able to go along for the ride, but I can understand why.
Very pleased with all the other answers though! Forgot to ask one question, though...
Do non-multiplayer ships (TIE Fighters, X-Wing, etc) take up a lot as well, or is it just the multiplayer ships?

Only mutiships. The reason this was done was because ships can basically act like houses. You can store items in it and decorate it and people can populate them. Though you cant place a vendor on it (this was allowed in beta for a second until it was detected as a unfixed loose end and nixed soon afterwards) and you dont have to pay maitence and you can shoot down your neighbors if you dont like them.They looked at ships basically as a structure. This was maybe also done so people dont fill thier data pad with 3 mutiships and get 225 ofextra storage space without some sort of penalty or at least a cost and they couldnt leave mutiships barren eitherpushed live without the ability to decorate.So the only alternative was to tax us by costing us a lot for the use of them. Reason other ships dont take up a lot cause, well, their just ships. They cant hold items, they are just weapons of mass destruction.

I know this isn't fully on topic but I have three questions.
1. How do you update your paint job? Also how much does it cost.
2. I know that you get a starter ship when you first become a pilot, but as you go up in rank, do you get the new ships as well? Or do you have to buy them like you would a blaster?
3. Upgrading my ship, can I buy parts from someone else and plunk them in, or do I need the starship crafter skill?

1. You use shipwright made paint kits that work like vehicle and droid paint kits. The difference is the paint never fades. You can also use "texture kits" to change the style of the paint job.
2. You only get that one free starter ship and it is also not hyperdrive capable(the Vet ship and all crafted ships are hyperspace capable). So yes, you will need to upgrade after you finish tier 1.
3. You plunk in all your own parts. The way it works is:
- you buy a ship blueprint from a shipwright
- you buy all the components you'll need(engine, weapons, capacitor, etc)
- you take that blueprint to an npc and get it converted to a deed
- you use the deed and it generates the ship
- now you go to a ship terminal, manage the ship, and load up components yourself.
you can swap components any time yourself. Its very plug and play.
Shipwrights make chassis and components, but you put together the final product.
