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.

I was listening too, and I wouldn't say confirmed... it was mentioned. Nothing is confirmed untill it is in game.


Even then Devs givith and the Devs can taketh away.

lol.

Also--be still, my beating heart? Did they mention anything specific in it, or were these all long-term plans that're still in concept?

Man, and there I was actually thinking "confirmed".


Good to know that it was mentioned though... just dont get your hopes too high till a dev says it. And then still.

Hm... wonder what types of ships it would be? Cant give Imperials the ISD because its already in Deepspace, cant give the rebels the Corvette because thats already the master mission. And then there's the closest to my heart, Freelancers.... hm.... maybe it would be a better idea to not let players OWN the ship, but rather just crew it. Have just 1 ship for the entire faction so you can always have a good sized crew on her.


I can imagine it... a spatial message floats up in every room of the ISD from the intercom, as LuukeSky Walkker announces "Oh shiz, we goinf down" "Oh i meant going down srry". Would get a kick out of killing it for sure- imagine being responsible for 90 people dying X 200 wounds each... oh boy... I am drooling just thinking botu it.

Capital ships will never have enough players to make sense as player-owned ships. It would be nice to see them floating around, though....starfighters are great and all, but Star Wars isn't Star Wars without a couple dozen starfighters streaking by a pair of Star Destroyers, guns blazing, pilots hoping the Force will save them from a sticky end....


And, I really, really, really hope they don't put Hoth in the game. They can't implement it without it further wrecking canon.

What are you talking about? It'd be easy. Just have NPC's man the majority of the turrets and limit the size of cap ship players can own. Done deal right there.
