Housing and Your Spacecraft: How to Combine the Two

[u][b]Housing and Your Spacecraft: How to Combine the Two [/b][/u] I’ve seen numerous threads that have asked if the player will have access to private property in Destiny. We know for fact that each player in Destiny will have access to their own personal spacecraft. Will this vessel serve the sole purpose of moving us from point A to B, or will it provide us with more? As a customizable spacecraft is something we know we’ll have at our disposal, why not make it serve a greater function; as a Space-RV. [u][b]Your Spacecraft:[/b][/u] When the player first unlocks access to interplanetary travel they are granted a small, rinky-dink starship. This starship has some storage, a weapon, and that’s about it. It’ll give you room to store your goodies, and if push comes to shove, you’ve got defenses. While this pathetic excuse of a ship might suffice for some, most people would like to create a ship that is unique and powerful. As you earn currency and valuable loot, you can purchase or trade for ship upgrades. These upgrades would include improvements to your weapons, armor, and storage; as well special features like a medical or crafting interface. Players would also have access to different ship parts and paint jobs, in order to create a vessel completely unique to their character. [u][b]What if I Want to Share My Home or I Need a Guild Base? [/b][/u] Well, there may be a way to house you [i]and[/i] your battlebuddies! As players form and expand their guilds, the guild leader has access to larger spacecraft. Once a clan reaches, let’s say 10 players, the leader can purchase a ‘Cruiser’ vessel. This initial Cruiser vessel would resemble that rinky-dink starship you got in the very beginning of the game. It would be lacking in the hardware department, but it could get the job done. However, with a larger ship comes a larger array of upgrades. Ship upgrades for the Cruiser could include: Better weapons, a cargo bay, a complete med-bay, a communications array, an armory and a hangar. Players could dock their individual starships inside the hangar of the larger Cruiser, and explore their guild’s Flagship. As the guild expands, the Cruiser can be upgraded with barracks, a larger armory and cargo bay, as well as an expanded hangar. Obviously upgrading these cruisers would be too costly for one player to afford, so every member of the guild would have to chip in to afford these expensive upgrades. Although helpful, some upgrades may not be necessary for every clan, making each ship unique. [u][b]What Do You Think?[/b][/u] So how would you feel if a system like this were implemented? Would you prefer there be two separate systems; one for housing and one for you ship? Please feel free to share your thoughts below.

    This is the Hanger which contains your ship "Players will have access to a hangar which contains their own ship. It is presumed that in the hangar, players will be able to carry out upgrades and/or purchase a better ship as they gain experience and currency." Idk but i highly doubt they will make it so that you can walk in your ship seeing as we have a hanger. It's still posible though... And btw that is my favourite concept art :P
