Pilot Archive

I just dont get it. Even if i suck, whay cant i have a multi pasinger walkable ship?

I understand the factonial ships, but...I realy just want to load up with my friends and go into space and have some adventures...

If you got a yacht, you dont even need novice pilot to fly it.

Rest of em.. *shrug* i guess if you wanted to be "in character" about it, their really complicated to fly and require more skill, hence master pilot? Im just guessing.

I do have one, But i cant really do combat or missions in it.

The draw for me is playing with my friends as a crew. We have all just come back and we wanted to pitch in an get us a multi person ship and do space stuff together.

But the only way to do this is if i master the profession... whats the fun in that?

Its the journey that is the fun... not the end.

I dont want to be "The best" i can be in the profession before i can do things with my friends.

Thats no the point. I don t want the best ship or the best guns or anything like that. I want to pilot a ship with my friends and go on adventures with them while we learn the "skills".

I don t want hand out, i want to do just what i said. Its more a a difference of play styles i suppose. I just don t see the point of mastering a profession in order to explore, and play the space part of this game in the setting i proposed.

i am sorry you don t understand that.Mabye im not being clear.

Like i said, the fun would be crewing a ship with my friends as we gained the skills of the profession. Not mastering the profession then being able to play as a crew with my friends.

I understand your point.. after all don't even need a licence to jump behind the wheel of a Ferrari, a bus or a buzz box that might as well have a rubberband engine hehe

They have said that the ships released in ROTW aren't the last so may see something in the future. I wanted to do the same thing when I was going through my first pilot profession. Only thing I could think of would be something like removing ship certifications but have decreased ypr and speeds or something if you wernt high enough skills to pilot properly but that would likely be alot of work to change what is currently in existance.

Being a master pilot has to have some rewards, just think of the multiplayer ships as one of them. Also, consider this. A multiplayer ship is an aweful big target and not having the proper equipment in it will just narrow it's lifespan even more. I don't have anything below level 9 equipment in my YT-1300 and my Y-8, you get the level 9 and 10 equipment certs at master as well. I can't see a multiplayer ship, due to their target profile and low manueverability, surviving all that well with less than level 8 equipment. So even if they did lower the certs on the ships, they wouldn't be any good for you until you hit 3-4-3-3 at the lowest. Getting blown up real fast every time would lose your crew's interest very fast.
