[Request] want to stear any ship we dock to that we own.

OK, we cant sit in command of any ship but the Skunk, but we CAN dock to our other ships and ask them very politely to take us somewhere..BS...I want to have control OK I'm in the Skunk and I own the bigger ship. If I say so I WILL guide it and run the speed control, and decide if we fly right over an enemy base or sneak around it.

Think of the Skunk as an Eve pod, we are in it we dock to our other ships, tada, we are in command from there. Sure the view might be a little odd, or we pull back to third person (can we even do that, I never did) but either way the AI in game bites big time and I have had a freighter fly right over top of a enemy station and I used the Skunks shields to protect it..idiot..so lets see about this, lets become a command module, when we aren't there, they do all the stupid things they do now, but when we are, it might get something done.

its definatly a huge oversight on egosofts part to eliminate SOME of the BEST parts of the pervious x games....dock on cap ship and fly cap ship = MEGA MEGA FUN..jump into turrets while your cap ship ATTACKS ALL ENEMIES...hey what a command...perhaps that would be good in this new game as well. I am so utterly disappointed with this game its not funny. My hopes are modders will be able to change all of that and return this game to a more X like game.
I have done some mods for previous X games, but this one seems very complicated, the idea of how to add new ships, previously simple, is now a nightmare.

I forsee egosoft either doing a major reform of the game's interface and playability or X rebirth will Fail in a very short order and finacially hurt their business.

I have been a loyal X fan since XBTF, and have worked a mod or two doing some writing. But I hate to say it, Ego has seen the quality of the work the modders have done in the past and got a lot of free ships and other stuff they used themselves, so I'm thinking they will do only what they need to, and wait for the modding teams to take the game out and redo it to suit us.Then they can brag about how wonderful the fans are of Rebirth and at the same time, slide the NDA's over the screen asking everyone to release their work so they can use it for the next game.

I put a link on the support forums saying that if we have to live by their rules they have to make it possible to do so. Like making drones do autonomous work and defending thei9r base ship from fighters. Then docking and jumping to sectors and after that moving to and holding a position. Even gathering loot from the zone, things we always have done ourselves. Ego has taken a big hit on the net from this launch and if they make it tough on us then the last few of us trying to stick it out will turn on them too, and their not stupid, they have lost maybe half of the people that jumped in already and more than that in people who would have bought it but didn't because of the reviews and forums.

If being stubborn is worth cash then Ego is putting a big price on it if they don't work some weekends to patch this.
