Thread: Cap to POB Ships?

From what I've heard we can only have one decorated POB ship, and all the others just have to be totally empty to fly with it.
Why didn't an dev tell us about this?? I want to go out space mining, but there's no way I will remove my beautiful decorations from my Decimator or Sorosuub. And now I get this message, that I cant fly it.... right....
I didn't pre-order ROTW for nothing devs! I wanted those 6 shipslots so wouldn't have to sacrfice my sorosuub or more, but if this is the cost, it's just totally NOT worth it.
I can understand that the devs want to hold back on the free item storage, but just put back the lot use for POB ships, or at least for the craftable POB ships (not the sorosuub, its still a reward... but the way this goes not a very fair reward I'd say).
I hope we get a clear answer soon.
I have a decorated yatch, an empty Nova and now the y-8 (empty). That makes a single decorated POB ship but still the Y-8 won't launch. Now I can understand the need to cap a ship which would normally cost about 1 million credits to purchase but they should have told this before hand. And the answer I got to my ticket concerning this was telling me that I can have only one (1) POB ship in my datapad at any give time. Since I had two before that (the yatch and the nova) I can assume that the yatch does not count towards that limit at least not with the old POB ships I didn't redeed my Nova since I love that ship and people keep saying that mining is not efficient with the Y-8. So someone might want to check it out and see if the yatch counts toward the limit or not. The rally annoying part about this is that I cannot redeed the y-8 and I cannot lauch it either so it takes up a slot.
I also got bugged on the advanced x wing quest and got the ARC but cannot undeed it due to the "you did not complete the necessary quest to pilot this ship" bug! So RotW ships for me are all crap I'm a non combatant on this char so can't do any of the ground quests so I wonder why the h3ll did I buy this crap for?!?!
I then emptied the YT-1300 as well, removed the decorations and emptied the loot box and then I was able to launch the Y-8.
As it turns out I can launch all three multi passenger ships now that they are all empty.
This actually would rule out a general cap of two POB ships.
(30 minutes later)
Continuing my testing I then put one item back on the yacht and still was able to launch the Y-8. Then I put one item on the Y-8 (yes, a second item generated the 'ship is full' error) and then was unable to launch the YT-1300, instead I got the 'can't launch ship with interior' message.
After picking up the item off the Y-8 I was once again able to launch the YT-1300.
So, to make a long story (and testing session) short, here are the results:
After emptying BOTH of my present POB ships (YT-1300 and veteran reward yacht) I was able to launch the Y-8 mining vessel AND both of the other ships as well. After that I was able to redecorate my yacht and still launch all three ships, as long as the other ships were empty. Putting items in a second POB will cause the 'can't launch ship with interior' error message for the third.
Hope this helps with troubleshooting.

I got the same message today trying to launch my brand new Y-8 (can't launch ship with interior). I had a decorated yacht and a semi decorated YT-1300 in my datapad at that time. I then emptied the yacht and tried to launch again, still got the same message.

Well, it sounds like it has to be something with the Y-8 then, and not a cap. I mean, if you can take all items out and launch, then put items into another POB ship (which would be one decorated POB) and still launch, but if you put items into another POB (which would be two POB ships) and you can't launch, that just doesn't make sense. I have two fully decorated POB ships and can launch both just fine.
So yeah... it's gotta be something with the Y-8.
Maybe I'll try generating another SoroSuub and see what happens.

Well... I finally got a reply from a CSR. It would seem we cannot have three POB ships. His reply is here. If he's correct or not, who knows. But it seems logical.
Nice of the Devs to not tell us this.
Zeon, I appreciate you sharing that information with us. My only problem with that reply is that he states that it is not possible to have 2 decorated POB ships. Many other players have stated that we've had both out yachts and our master level POB ship decorated, so the CSR is either correct and there is a bug that allows 2 ships to be decorated, the yacht doesn't count towards that limit (and if that is the case then it shouldn't count towards my ship limit either if its a true reward), or the CSR is wrong (like that's never happened before) and this is a bug with the Y-8.
No matter what, I'd like to see a developer officially respond to this, either in person or through the correspondent.
Note that I am not holding my breath. (Tomo, you're doing a great job, its the devs I have zero faith with)
Hmmm... you're right, I didn't think about that. I too have two decorated POB ships... so what the CSR said just went out the window. Unless he meant you can't have more then two decorated POB ships. Gah... I don't know. This is frustraiting. >.<
When I get back on, I think I'll try taking out another SoroSuub and see if I can decorate it. If I can, then we'll know it's a bug with the Y-8. If I can't, then we'll know it's something else...

Had 3 POB's in my datapad. Excellent.
Got an error after outfitting some parts for my Y8, couldn't have another decorated MP ship. Fine. The layout on my Sorosuub was really easy to do (shabby-chic) and I dumped my inventory in a factory, grabbed my SS's furniture, and launched my Y8. No problems.
Dumped _all_ my furniture in my Y8 (no 'full' errors) but could not manipulate the stuff up/down/rotate.
I like the interior, but I'm hesitant to say I'm going to use it as my RP hangout area, because I want to be able to 'host' mining missions. I'm going to try to test gun/player configurations next week, and then go pick up random noobs and take them mining. Should be fun. Took random noobs out in my YT last month, on the simplest duty missions I could find. Was a load of fun. Hope the mining is as good, and I can set shares or rates on the resource take for my crew.
