Unbiased Poll about The Pride of Albion vs multiple ships

[xelalex24]

I wanted to create a poll a bit less bias than a previous one.

I'm personally disappointed about this option. It has basically ruined one of the key things I like about this game. The idea of flying new ships, and choosing what ship to fly based on what I was doing was awesome. What they should have done is allow you to start with the pride of Albion but eventually upgrade to bigger and better ships so that you would continue on with your crew, but better ship. In the meantime, your main ship would have the ability to transport other ships that you could always go and take them for a spin.

Thus, making that ship your "home ship" with crew and all, but at the same time gave you the ability to have full access to all of the ships.

oh this is gonna open a whole can of worms

i personally don't care and i wont till they release the game, no point speculating about things we barely know anything about

personally all the ships in X felt the same, there where no quirks with ships (ok maybe the taladi ships perhaps) but they all felt the same so in reality all you where doing is swapping the paint job

If you didn't notice a difference between an M5 and an M2 you were doing something wrong.

I've always liked the idea of having much more interactive ships than we've seen in the past, but just having one is a lot of pressure if you ask me. If it is not really well done (and I mean REALLY well done) it will not have justified removing so many other options.

I get what you're saying about ships in the same class feeling the same but that's not really the point here. There is a big difference between saying the Argon and Paranid M2's aren't much different from each other and now saying that you can only ever fly the Vidar.

I'm hoping they succeed though and then expand upon this concept in future titles to include battleships, carriers, fighters, etc. because that is ultimately the direction I always wanted space sims to go. Well that and for them to be able to incorporate disembarking on planets and stations to complete the experience but we are nowhere near that far along at this point.

BTW, does anyone know what is supposed to be so groundbreaking about this upgrade system? I've played a lot of games that featured ship upgrades and there was never anything really that interesting about them. Are they supposed to be magical power ups or something?

In X3, I pretty much only flew one ship ever anyway (after I got it, that is), and treated the few times I got into another ship basically the same way that it is implied that docking to capital ships will work in Rebirth.
Usually that was just to make a slow trip to some sector somewhere on autopilot while I went and watered the garden or whatever, and I'd let my 'crew' handle things if I ever got attacked.


I'm not really AGAINST being able to fly every ship available, but I'd rather my home ship had a lot of customization and upgradability.

I wonder if player ships will be added as paid DLC?

I voted for multiple ships, not because I am disappointed, but because I prefer it. However, I'm curious - I really want to see just how far ES takes the Pride in this game.

Your poll wording is far from unbiased.
