New Ships

[MikeCobalt]

Hey Everybody , Does anybody know if there will ever be any more ships available? Everybody being limited to just the ones now is really restrictive and their role is almost meaningless. New players could start with smaller less impressive character ships and older more mature players having options to buy, win or acquire better ones. Being able to take on passengers, cargo (good or bad) or other player/player adventures could be available. I think these are a very big potential story/activity creator being missed out. I understand the "mission: run around shooting everything until you have no more missions" MMO theme but this really limits the games potential, A smaller class of guild ships and Real Supporting abilities (Dropping A.I. troops on invasions) could also really be impressive.

Starfighter ships or class ships?

 

Starfighter probably. Class, since they are tied to your class story, lines upon lines of easily broken code tied into them, highly doubtful.

Short answer is no.

 

There will not be any new ships that replace the current ones. The way they tied all your companions and class quests to your ship prevents them form giving us new ships. Its not impossible, but they would have to rewrite a lot of code. A lot more than the game budget allows.

 

Very few people spend any time on their ship.

 

Part of the reason we have strongholds, is that it was much easier for them to develop a whole new system. Rather than reprogram the ship system to allow for different ships.

This is a shame, I understand about the "Spending No time on the ship" for me its because there is literally nothing to do with the ship. Every time we get new armor or a weapon or some different device it loads a new setting and specifications, different ships exactly the same, its more work yes but for now, my ship is basically useless and the Smugglers role I thought would have used the ship much more. Seems doing these scripted missions is all there is.
