Poll: Customizable ships, yes or no?

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!

I'd love to see some ship customization. Star Wars Galaxies had player cities and player homes, and you could really customize your own house. It was one of the really amazing features of SWG that sat it aside. I think the same thing for your ships in this game would be awesome! Have some furniture and some decorations you can move around, maybe pick from some different lights or something?

 

That said, the ships are pretty detailed, so you couldn't change much. Like I said, maybe if you could get furniture and then you could place it where you wanted, but the shell of the ship remained the same.

 

Changing the outside of the ship is unrealistic IMO. They're not going to spend time doing a ton of different models to change your ship when you rarely even see the outside of it (space battles, single player only).

 

They've said guild ships might be coming, and then in that case customization would be even cooler.

 

 

Things I want in my ship: A mailbox, and maybe access to the auction network.

Ship customization would be awesome, but I'd rather they fix bugs and other things first, ships are cool enough for now.

yes to all !

 

I would like to see not only the mentioned but a whole MMO on the space side of things. PVP, Exploration, Proffesions, Raid bosses, PVP themed raids on planets.

 

There is loads they could do and I really hope they do more with it.

I'd be all for it.

 

Access to the holo network (like bounty or other work), mailbox, suchlike would be great. I also wouldn't mind some individualization, like interior design and colours. Since we had homes in Galaxies I am a little puzzled why this can't be ported into this game as well at some point - after all, no hero is on the job all the time...

Yes to all 4...however most important is give importance to ships..besides a minigame...and not so great also.. ..whats the point of ship appearance if only you see it..Id like some flashpoints that use ships.... Make 1 only Bioware and see how many play it...that simple...

warzones etc.... or combine flashpoints and raids to include a part that ship is needed...

 

Guild Flagships? Those could be highly changed in terms of appearance by combined guild members effort...either by completing space missions and collecting commendations etc....

 

Make warzones that could involve one guild flagship being defended by its members from pirates ? ( other players) attacks..that need to destroy specific objectives in a limited time...stuff like that.

1) a, 2) a, 3) a, 4) a.

 

I'd love to see the ship have more customization and involvement in the game. I also think it needs to be a quick travel option available anywhere, possibly even with its own cooldown.

 

It may not be the right thread to say it, but I hate the current hangar/spaceport configuration. It seems like a purposeful waste of our time. I think it could definitely use streamlining.
