Wouldn't it be interesting if players could spawn up on the vetts, using the current vet structure from the ground missions but adding places to man the turrets or even pilot it? Maybe charge Prestige in order to get up there but not have any players actually own the damn things.

hella good idea, but please allow one of us to pilot the damn thing because as it is it would be impossible to gun on one with the auto pilot going in circles as they do now

Yeah, we'd need a player pilot as well.

This would allow for more interesting fights in space. Make it so that someone getting on board knows for a fact that the ship will be PvP. It'd be stupid in my oppinion to allow a ship with that much potential to be capable of flying without having to fend off other players.

Yeah, I was thinking put it in deep space. A single imperial vette and one of the rebel vettes controlled by players. Would make battle against the other capital ships interesting to say the least.

Ya I posted once on making them boardable. Using a MP ship with a bunch of fighters inside. After you disable it, you board. Then you fight the crew for control. After you eliminate the crew and do an old ground vette type mission that vette is "flipped" to your side. NO SBD's lol


This is a slighly modified idea of my original post found here.

But make it so that you gotta repair it, too.

the only problem I see is when you do take control, who gets to be pilot?


Id fight for it
