nice idea
im really looking forward for sw:tor
Fri Jun 18 2010 3:27PM ReportI really hope the customization for player ship is well thought out, from the color scheme on the interior and exterior to the decorative bannors and room placement for companions.
Fri Jun 18 2010 3:29PM ReportThe only comments so far I've read about this announcement was the usual hate but I'm excited about the news and intrigued they'd get this right when Cryptic didn;t with STO.
Fri Jun 18 2010 3:30PM ReportI certainly hope its less 'player' ships and more 'guild/legion/division' ships.
Fri Jun 18 2010 3:41PM ReportBloody hell, and that's supposed to be the 'Light' Corvette? It's frickin' huge.
Fri Jun 18 2010 4:14PM ReportAwesome and its sure to piss off the fringers double bonus.
Fri Jun 18 2010 4:26PM ReportMehh
Fri Jun 18 2010 5:20PM ReportWhere are the shadows? The lighting makes it look like a kids game..
Fri Jun 18 2010 5:22PM Reportnow slap some turrets on there, make it able to fly in a seamless space and you've got a deal
Fri Jun 18 2010 5:40PM ReportUnlike the Bounty Hunter armor video, this one is looking fantastic!
Store your stuff+decorate+fly around+shoot stuff=best player housing ever!
Fri Jun 18 2010 5:45PM ReportMeh, I wanted a star destroyer!
Fri Jun 18 2010 5:58PM Reportyay, more running from one NPC group member in the cargo bay to running to the cockpit to talk to another one, to going to the lounge to talk to yet another one. Fun fun fun.
Fri Jun 18 2010 7:41PM ReportLove the idea but we'll see how its implemented before i decide. Sick to death of the hatred going toward this game from unreasonable others though. The amount of hatred and fear mongering is childish and extremely unhealthy minded.
Fri Jun 18 2010 9:42PM Reportnice - but "art" seems to be lacking
just no oomph
no "how cool"
meh
Fri Jun 18 2010 9:57PM ReportI like that it's player ships...leave the star destroyers for the guilds. Not sure about the art lacking comment. It's Star Wars...since when were the space ships glamorous and cool? I'm looking forward to this.
Fri Jun 18 2010 10:15PM Reportfail......... its just like how it is in the kotor . and you guys think you will be able to pilot this lol
Fri Jun 18 2010 11:58PM ReportYEH we will be able to pilot it! Just shut your eyes like spongebob in a cardboard box and imagine or better yet buy some fuel!
Sat Jun 19 2010 12:22AM Report"Store your stuff+decorate+fly around+shoot stuff=best player housing ever!"
Until they have a "By the way all your stuff stored in your ship was lost due to it exploding into little pieces."
Would seem kinda weird to have all your stored items just magically reappear in another ship :s
Sat Jun 19 2010 12:28AM ReportYes, I want my SHIP!!!!!
Sat Jun 19 2010 6:12AM ReportCould this be the first MMO to get housing spot on from release.
I am impressed with this idea. Lets hope it works.
Sat Jun 19 2010 6:46AM Reportdont get what make ppl excited about this video at all, it may be better in game....but for this video looks like an instance with not much to do within it, would feel diffrent if they had shown you could interact with all the things within it. but it all seemed very static.
Sat Jun 19 2010 8:29AM ReportWell I played swg, had a decimator, an a yt2400 yt1400 the inside of these new ships are so much bigger than any of the ships we had in swg.
Pure win!!!!
Sat Jun 19 2010 8:37AM Reporti hope we can customize the lights .. i hate red light ....
Sat Jun 19 2010 10:54AM ReportI like this idea no more housing on planets. And it looks like we may get space flight as well. Guilds should be allowed to own the larger capitol ships though which would allow you to dock your own ship with.
As for flying a capitol ship your going to need alot of active members.
Sat Jun 19 2010 11:03AM ReportLooks pretty cool.
Sat Jun 19 2010 11:41AM Reportplzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz i cant wait any more.
Sat Jun 19 2010 1:32PM ReportIf previous Bioware games are anything to go by the 'customisation' options available here will be trivial. Players are going to be expecting free item placement within their ships so it had better not just be a few variable options (a.k.a ME2) or an awful hook system (a.k.a LOTRO).
With their budget though hopefully they can prove me wrong...
Sat Jun 19 2010 6:05PM ReportThe original unreal or unreal tournament had better texture packs,man this game is going to look old with it's cheap looking graphics.The whole immersion thing has to do with looks/graphics so it will be tough to get into a game that looks bad.just look at the NPC holding the light sabre,it looks real cheap ,like something out of a nintendo 64 game.
Sun Jun 20 2010 2:08AM ReportNow I kinda rip'd on the sith video. But this I'm exicted about. Its something people aways ask for, but Its almost never given. And is always, yes always towards the top in polls of what you'd like to have in a MMO. Player housing.
I'm hoping its more than just player housing, but more along the lines of a crafting center, a bank, a R&R center, a form of travel. But most of all I hope it customizable, at least in part.
You have to let us make it our own. Think X-Com in simplicity.
Remember the more you let us make it our own, the more we see our experience as unique, and the more we become attached to our...your world.
Thnx Bioware
Sun Jun 20 2010 4:28AM ReportI had no hate for SWTOR, after SWG i just wanted no more to do with SW, however this is becoming more and more interesting I actually like what I see so far.
I'm not convinced yet, but I will say light has begun to shine through looking forward to more information, who know's may I will give it a shot, but we will see there not finished yet.

Sun Jun 20 2010 11:20AM ReportI love the concept of your ship being your home. In SWG, I had both a ship and a house but I never really thought of my house as my home...only my ship. I could see many ways of making this a really intregal part of the story and of the overall experience. Hope that Bioware sees this too. Looking good so far.
Sun Jun 20 2010 11:24AM Reportyeah im sick of people negative remarks no matter what a gaming company does they cant make the tards happy think certain people need too hop out of the mmo genre and go back too single player console games it obvious mmorpgs are not for most people its about indepth and lore and the rp value.
Sun Jun 20 2010 11:43AM Reportso its a player house...
Sun Jun 20 2010 11:42PM ReportVery cool!
Mon Jun 21 2010 5:36AM ReportBy making the ship the house, they neatly tie a few things together. Should be cool. Hopefully works better than the housing in LOTR. Upgrades should be interesting. If your ship takes damage, that could suck if you lose your upgrades though. "Sir! The enemy photon torpedo just totalled the jacuzzi!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The b*tards! I just paid for that!"
Tue Jun 22 2010 1:39PM ReportOkay this is cool I think. I just hope they have plenty of types of ships and that they give us stuff to do there.
LOL@Genosans 13 double posts. Epic. :P
Fri Jun 25 2010 8:30AM Reportthey should rework the art style of the game and bring in more realism and a cool "used"/"darker" look.
Thu Jul 01 2010 7:28PM Report"Would seem kinda weird to have all your stored items just magically reappear in another ship :s"
If you can magically reappear after death, so can your stuff.
Fri Jul 02 2010 8:27PM ReportLooks like it was made by Cryptic to me...
Honestly, the art style is so similar. Neither of those interiors would have been out of place in CO.
