Has anyone got the Captain's Yacht yet?

I was just wondering what it's used for and looks like. Is it just a shuttle variant? Any pics or info? Thanks.

    Just a shuttle, but in my opinion it is the best ship in game, I LOVE mine (fed version that is) For looks just google the name :) it is quite acurate model wise.

    Seriously put a reman shield on it and you got a one of a kind ride to the best night clubs on Risa.

    Only wish it had an iterior, would pay 5000 atari tokens for that in a hearth beat.

    O and a way to make it upgradeable to a tier 5 ship, one may whish right?

    i can't wait to go to the starbase so i can launch my captain's yacht from my ship.

    "Excuse Mr Dockmaster, can you just park my yacht next to me shuttle, runabout and 4 other ships i'm not currently using?"


    Thank God there is no money in the future because it would cost a fortune to rent dockspace for all these ships we have to park.

    True this, true this.

    A bit of a VA will have a dozen to 2 dozen ships (depending on bad you collect them), makes one wonder if they are not better used on the front lines instead of gattering dust in a hangar?

    Actually if I was a Galaxy class captain I'd just separate the saucer section and use that as my captain's yacht!!:D

    If I where one I would order the crew to get of at the starbase, take the ship out and activate self destruct.

    That is at least what I did after my test sessions with the Galaxy-X, Galaxy refit and nebula class. Than I have a slightly unhealthy hatred towards anything that looks like the galaxy class.


    Best would be if you fly a sovy like me to have it launch from the button of your saucer section like it should :) *dreams*

    This is a damn good thought.

    The war is going so poorly that ensigns get their own ships however not poor enough to prevent VAs from mothballing fleets of ships.

    Technically speaking, wouldn't a separated Galaxy with detached yacht count as a poor man's MVAM?

    Got mine a few days ago, and was surprised at the bright colors available in the palette. And it handles quite well.

    Though I wonder if we can reclaim it we delete it?

    I've always considered past ships as being decomissioned or reassigned to other commanding officers. Most of them Iif I know I'm not going to use them again I just decomission them and say they've "gone on elsewhere" so I can reuse the name with a letter on the same registry number rather than the "Shipname-B" fad that I've seen.

    After you've claimed it, the shuttle vendor has an additional dialogue option to give you another claim token.

    So it CAN be reclaimed after deleting it, which is convenient.

    That just leaves the inconvenience of re-fixing any broken toolbars as a result of deleting the ship.

    yeah kind of wierd indeed, lets see what I could store if I kept all:

    Galaxy refit
    Galaxy-X
    Nebula
    Vulcan ship (forgot name)
    Excelsior refit
    Star cruiser
    Advanced escort
    Fleet escort
    Defiant refit
    Deep space science vessel
    Recon science vessel
    defiant
    Intrepid
    Intrepid refit
    Galaxy
    Akira
    Heavy cruiser
    Excelsior
    Hope class
    Nova class
    Excalibur class
    Sabre class
    Miranda
    Connie
    NX
    Captain's yacht
    Delta flyer
    Runabout
    Type 8

    That would be 25 ships and 4 shuttles. That is bigger than most fleets we have seen fighting to aid us!

    Also that would be filling up the entire docking area and some more of ESD

    Appricate it.
