So there are yet more rumours flying around of the Lambda and YT2400 getting added into the game, is it not about time that we saw the interplanetary shuttle added to space?
If you're wondering what the "interplaenetary shuttle" is, its the shuttle that lands and takes off from all starports/outposts in-game.
I've always found it strange that an existing game model of a ship that suposedly travels between the planets is never seen in space and think its about time this vessel got added in two formats:
NPC Shuttle
Like the Corvettes in Kessel, each system (except for Kashyyyk) would have a shuttle spawn and follow a set coordinate route and then jump. This finaly introduces a very stripped down version of a trade lane into the game and helps to merge space and ground a little further. They don't necessarily have to follow the same flight times as the ground-based versions. They may only spawn every 10 minutes or 20 or 60 or whatever but the point is to have them there regularly following a flight plan just so we can see these ships really ARE transporting people.
Player Shuttle
The player version would be a fully rendered interior vessel. Like the Luxery Yacht it wouldn't have turrets, however it may well have slots for all other equipment.
Like the Yacht, this isn't intended to be a combat vessel. Instead its a party/RP ship.

I would really like to see another non-combat ship or two. With at least upgradable engines.

I agree, upgradeable engines would go a long way in increasing usefulness. Even with the Yacht.

I think it'd just be nice to have ships that can allow us to do something OTHER than combat in space. Its starting to get a little tiresome where you only have two options when you launch: shoot and get shot at it, blow up rocks.
