Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I was out flying some VIPs in my Luxury Yacht in Thera the other day and I was trying to come up with ways to entertain them. While they wished for a trip through a wormhole, I was not prepared to oblige them as the single high slot on the yacht would either mean going with no probes, at the risk of being trapped out of Thera, or without a cloak, which they were not prepared to do without.

They then requested a fireworks display and while I would normally gladly oblige, I was unable to as there was no way to fit the requisite launcher onto my vessel.

While I could have hired another ships to act as a scout or to provide the fireworks, these VIPs were not paying me nearly enough to cover this additional cost and I was left with some rather disappointed passengers. Luckily I had a full compliment of Exotic Dancers on board so they were able to find other ways to enjoy themselves.


(O/C) TL;DR Please can the Yacht be given a second highslot that can fit a Festival Launcher? I like fireworks a lot and not being able to launch them from a "luxury" yacht seems a little disappointing.

I support this.

I support this.

Also, I cannot seem to fall asleep. :(

I need to feel the heat of some astral fireworks near my ship to warm my body for bedtime. :(

Why do festival launchers even require a hardpoint?

This really is a good question.

But only a non combat probe launcher or a Festival Launcher.

I would not support giving the yacht a hardpoint, but I would support removing the hardpoint requirement from festival launchers.

I too own one of these fine ships and support these ideas.

Remove the hardpoint prereq on the launchers -- my vote. That would be way more fun.
