I and others have at times become bored with the game. When you quest & do instances, it is essentially the same experience as other MMoRPG's with a nice new look. You have the unique opportunity to do with your game what other's cannot, allow for a customizable ship. Are there any plans to implement this?

In regards to the issue of players not able to view the exterior and interior modifications you have made to your ship, how can that problem be solved? Here are a couple of ideas. I) As mentioned before, you make the space travel more interactive. Many ships allowed in the same galactic space so you can see other people's ships. Have "space" more open and not only quest based. II) Create Space Ports where other ships can be docked. When you pull up to the Port, you can see the other ships. Also, while utilizing the space port for vendors, the mailbox, the Trade Network and all of that popular stuff, perhaps you can visit other docked ships if those players allow it? This would introduce a new way for other players to view your modifications and accomplishments. Any other ideas to allow other players to view your ship based accomplishments? Thalinos

I am not aware of what they have said regarding ship customization. Maybe some good, new ideas can be generated here in addition to what they're planning? It can't hurt for them to know what we would really like to see Thalinos

I would like to know how much interest there is in making our ships into a bigger part of the game. Please provide the most fitting answer to the following 4 questions: 1) Would you like to see a quest line that allows you to help choose your ships specifications, in order to have a somewhat unique ship? For instance, during this quest, you could shake down a junk dealer for money and choose something from his "junk yard" such as armor plating, different hyperdrive, blasters, ect. Yes I know it sounds familiar...it's just an example. a) Yes b) No c) I don't care if there is a quest or not. 2) Would you like your ship exterior to look different from other players? Different appearances could be accomplished during the ship creation quest line. a) Yes b) No c) It doesn't matter to me. 3) Would you like to be able to purchase upgrades to your ship as you level, such as Mail Boxes, Galactic Trade Network Terminals, Vendors, Weapons, a Wookie whom you can play 3d chess against, ect...? a) Yes b) No c) I don't care either way. 4) Would you like to receive decorations for your ship as loot drops and quest rewards? (These could include, medals, accomondations, trophy's, statues and so on) a) Yes b) No c) I don't care what the interior of my ship looks like. I of course am in favor of all of these. It would add a larger goal to each player as they level. It would also serve as a money and time sink which all MMO's need. Plus it would just be fun to pimp out your ride, right? This topic has been brought up a few times, but it has thus far not received a lot of comments. Please vote or comment below. If it dies again, well then people like their ships the way they are and I will let it go Thanks! Thalinos

Maybe they could give a few Probe Droids a break from probing so that they can deliver mail to our ships It could happen.

I suppose they are like your home, but they are pretty boring as is.

We needz it...gives it to us.

Yeah, a mailbox would be the first thing I purchase forgot about that, lol.

To start, I would like to mention that I have enjoyed the game quite a bit so far. There are many possitive and a few negative aspects to the game however. One of the problems is running out of "stuff" to do. I was thinking about this and thought how much fun it would be, at least in my opinion, if we could customize our ship. Some of you have mentioned decoration, but there is more that can be done. Off the top of my head, here are some aspects reguarding our ships that could be added: 1. Initially before getting our ship, we could be sent on a quest to help finish a ship that's currently being built. A quest chain could send us out hunting for a few remaining items for our ship, such as blasters, hyper drive, armor plating...whatever. This could also give us a chance to have our ships look somewhat different from everyone else's. (I do realize this is a lot of work for game designers, but it sure would add a LOT) 2. Throughout the game, while leveling we can collect different types of decorations for our ship, such as trophy's, banners, medals, commendations...whatever. These can be rewarded through quests as well. 3. Certain ammenities could be purchased for our ships. These would be expensive as they are very useful. Items such as Galactic Trade Network terminals, save points, vendors, new weapons, cosmetic changes to the ship....and so on. To sum up, adding this feature to the game adds another effective time and money sink to the game, plus I think it would just be a fun addition. I do not have time to read all of the other posts, so if some or all of these have already been suggested, then I give you guys mad props! Thanks for listening. And remember...it's just an idea, so no need to rip my head off Thalinos

Nice list. I am starting another thread in regards to #15 as I believe it could add a lot to the game. It will be called "Fully Customizable Ships?" Or at least I plan to post it if I can get the post to show up. I have been having trouble with that for some reason. Thalinos

Hopefully this doesn't end up as a duplicate post. I could not find the other one I wrote with the same title. I just wanted to ask how interested you would be if your Star Ship was customizable? For instance, before you get your ship, you have to help collect different parts of it from junk dealers, choosing your engines, weaponry and what not. By the time your "ship" quest is done, you have a somewhat unique ship with your own decals or whatnot. As you level, you can find different items to decorate your ship such as trophy's commendations. You can add more functionality to it by paying for items such as a mailbox, Galactic Trade Network Terminal, Save point, new weaponry, decals, vendors...and on and on. I for one would love another reason to play, level, and collect money. Not to mention it acts as a very good money/time sink. What do you think? No sense hating on it too much, it's just an idea Be gentle, lol. Thalinos

I was thinking how much fun it could have been if our ship was customizeable. And also, what a nice time and money sink it would have added to the game. You could have even been put on a quest to find parts and help build the thing. Once it's finished it would be somewhat unique from other ships based on the choices you made during its construction. Once finished, you could continue to alter it and add "perks" to it as you level. Similar to a house in UO or SWG you could purchase or find decorations, trophys, a mailbox, a save point, exterior decals, armaments, Galactic Trade Network access terminal, whatever! Perhaps we could see this in an expansion if the game makes it? Perhaps people will hate this idea, but I know that I would love it and really get hooked into pimping out my ride Thalinos

(Shift + Right Click) while using any Market window = automatic search for that item in the database. If none exist, a mesage states "No items with that name found". Remove the mandatory two search fields and allow name searches from the main "Buy" screen. Those are the only two options I would really like to see...or at least they would tide me over for several months. Without them, the Galactic Market is so cumbersome that the game might get a bit tiresome for me. What about it Devs? Can we get a key + mouse combo for a quick search of items we have in our inventory or in a chat link?
