i would rather see changes made to existing POB ships - enable the forward weapon hardpoints, and up the shields to something that would take more than a couple hits in pvp so that a yt/nova/decimator would be a difficult target to destroy. As far as capital ships, anything more than the NPC gunboats would be overkill - getting more than 5-6 people in the same ship would be too difficult

Well i can see how making maybe guild owned capitol ships would work, but only possibly.
I persoanlly dont want to see things like player Star Destroyers floating around.
Something that would work better - Player/Guild Gun Ships. Basically the differant faction gun ships for either side, but require atleast say 2 people in it on pilot/co-pilot to be able to fly it? With more people being able to come along and man turrets just like the POB ships.

Doubt we will ever fly a ISD, unless they make the spacezone alot bigger.
The spacezone are like 10k cubes, the ISD is around 1k no? Not much travel to do 
A SSD wouldnt fit unless you put it in diagonaly.

I would be hanging around the ship terms JUST to get in a crew to have big cap ship battles...This would add A dimension that No other game has..Cap ship miss would be awsome..Wave after wave of Inc fighters and then a cap on cap fight. and PVP would be great as long as the 1 hit 1 kill crap wasnt there..engineers running everywere repairing stuff as it takes damge, should make the fights last like they should for like 5 hrs..We can dream.

oh and even though you say that it probley wont ever happen just like the smuggler revamp and everything, well remember when the combat upgrade was just a myth? just my 2 cents
Not a very good argument mate. We never got a Combat Upgrade but in fact got a totally different game system ported from EQ-like land! Using that analogy does not bode well for space, though thebalance of Composite (heavy starters) and PvP Composite (JSF/Greivous) in space would be much welcomed!

Hoth can easily be made a battle zone. Just like how you would enter the corevette, y ou would go to a certain shuttle and you would enter hoth. O fcours eyou couldnt roam the whole planet but you woould be in eitehr a big pve battle( hoth battle) where you had objectives and whatnot, or you would pvp. There was a time where people didnt think humans would be able to do things like launch into space.....boy wher ethey wrong. Anything is possible, so I dont see why teh devs cant make this happen. Now with that said, of course there is a chanc ethat if they did try to do this, they would screw up and it backfire and for some reason no one went to hoth, blah blah...so of course they would have to give players a good reason to go to hoth othe rthan " it was in themovie". ie: able to pilot snow speeders in that level and that level only or some kind of uber uber loot only found on hoth , etc.

I still want a Lamda.
Vette type ships would be cool, but if the current PoB's are any indication, I'd pass.
Would be nice to have a ship you could dock to.
Better yet just make the ISD/Freedom in DS dockable, players could land at them, man turrets, repair systems, repel boarding parties etc. Cost X prestige points to man X station. Ops directing fighter launches.
Would be a blast.
Just picture a group of fighters dodging all those turrets as they come crashing into the docking bay greeted by an entrenched defense squad. Racing down the corridors on the way to the shield generators to plant some explosives. Better yet have multiple positions around the vessel that must be destroyed simultaneously to disable the particular system.

They could put in whole new zones of open space where the cap ships would have to go to do stuff... The areas would have to be large, and ENEOUGH with the damn nebulas and lightning.. save our fps please. Make fighters able to dock... crew areas... gun positions ect.. man it could be awsome.

Was just listening to the Lok Pirate radio thats covering the fanfest via internet radio feed. There was a SOE employee interviewed that confirmed player owned capaital ships are coming. =) There were other conformations as well such as a PvP Hoth.
Other well known confirmations. Smuggler revamp, fixing commando, etc. etc.
Why can't they just fix my Arc deed or make my POB ship worthwhile?
