How about an idea's thread for what better use this prestigue xp could be used for? (better than just getting into DP)
- Use it to buy schematic/items from various npc'sfound in space? Your pilot trainer/recruiter maybe?
- New sub component schematics/items? from npc who work at various ship makers (ie kuat engineering)
- Ship decoration scheamtics/itemsfor our POB ships? from npc pirates, junk dealers?
Any other Aces's like to see more out there for pilots once they've mastered pilot?

most definitely
Also an item purchase screen that works similar to a craftin experimentation screen where you can "buy" experimentation points on the base purchase item(variety of each with differing start points) and each experimentation points costs progeressively more prestige(I'm talking insane amt's and caps in place to make each stat at most on par with top lvl RE's and capping one stat would take around 5 mill prestige)

Sounds like a great idea. I've got millions saved with nothing to do with it as i prefer to abstain from pvp.

I personally think they should be used exactly like ground based faction points. The items that would be available for purchace should not affect crafters in any way. The should be items like the new holograms or paintings and such. I would like the items to have huge prices ranging anywhere from 1 million prestige all the way up to 100 million prestige. Obviously thats a lot of xp but I like the idea of having a long term goal to achieve. Just my 2 cents.

I concur. I believe that usage of prestige points should also contain profession specific usage, which, costs insane amounts as to not flood the server with the specially made parts etc... I also think it would be great to be able to use faction points for faction profession specific usage... imagine being able to spend my imp faction on specialized components for my tie's that are only usable on imp fighters... wow, what a sale that would be... i like the idea of the extra experimentation points... be great to add some "extra" cost induced features to RE'ing... ohhh this M-shipwright is drooling...
ill sign up for a year right now if these could get implimented... heh

This is from a previous post I posted in the Pilot Forum:
Sooo I was shooting things watching my almostpointless prestige points accumalate and I got to thinking we should be able to do more with them besides go into deep space. Soo heres my thoughts, feel free to chime in, flame, what ever floats your boat.
Possible Uses for Prestige Points:
Buy certifications for ships outside of your Pilot Alignment.
You're allready an Ace and these certifications could start out at a couple mil and be restricted to certain ships like Y-wings,Z-95's, Tie Fighters, Tie Bombers, Dunelizard, Kimo-gila, and for an exhorbantamount points and beccause they are not specifically faction ships(cannon wise), the Decimator, the Nova Cruiser, and the YT-1000. There can be all sorts of explinations, for privateers, you have "sticky" fingures and aquired one, for Imps and Rebs, they were gotten during a skirmish and turned against their original owners, or are used for covert missions, whatever.
Buy special paint jobs.
Um... sort of explains itself.
New zones
Non-planet zones, nothing special, that would require an expenditure of prestige points to access. Zones with set lanes of high level ships moving through the sectors, various merchant/military convoys, with escorts, similar to the way the corvet opperates. Better chance of loot. NPC raidng parties intermitently attacking, or in the path of the convoys, and set to where they agro other npcs. Several small zones would help give the feel of a more elaborate space systems.
Missions
For a certain amount of prestige points, NPCs at various stations will "tip" you off to merchant/military convoys that yield high quality loot and or special paint job schematics.
Special Clothing
Color variations on the clothing allready attainable at master level. Or schematics that tailors can make so crafters are still in the loop. These would have to be expensive point wise to discourage thier trade and sale.
Anyways thats it for now. This is really Blue Sky stuff but, eh what ever.

I'd kinda like to see single-use capital ship schems purchased with prestige points. They would prolly have to keep the point cost very high to keep space from being flooded with them, but it would be nice to have a corvette. Since they already exist in the game and both Imps and Rebs use them, no need to develop more ships. Just flesh out the current vette to be fly-able.

would love to see something more done with points, I have close to a mill of them right now. And I really have no desire to go into deep space. Always thought it would be cool to pilot another profs ships, I mean granted it wouldn't be a common thing but ships do get stolen or a shipment hijacked espically by rebels and pirates but I could still see maybe an imperial prefering and x-wing or something.

Lol, you know what would be probably the biggest boost to our profession? If they made it so you could use prestige points to get new uniforms/outfits.
