Opinions on new Passenger ships

[Cathy]

Do we have an indication somewhere of the scale of these ships? I've been looking and haven't found anything yet (maybe I missed the obvious).

Are they like private yachts? Or big cruise liners for hundreds of passengers? Something between those?

Passenger Ships mean Passengers!

OK, IF these ships are vulnerable to attack they should have an "edge" to entice you to want to fly them. I admit when I first saw them in the Dev Diaries I was taken by their appearance and design. Should they not be allowed better capabilities such as acceleration and maneuvering? Additionally some defensive weapons will be necessary. If we are going to be able to "get aboard" someone else's ship (in later updates), could your ship be immobilized and boarded? Having your passengers kidnapped? The possibilities are limitless. Which is one reason I'm strongly consider piloting one of these bad boys.

I really like the designs, they're much more smooth and scream luxury and it sets them off from the normal E: D ships which tend to be a bit more blocky and enclosed.

Not for me. I can just imagine the sort of spoiled kids who I'd have to suffer as passengers. No, thank you.

Who said anything about passengers? I'm considering fitting one out as a luxury yacht just for myself and my crew of carefully handpicked space-hostesses

I'm rather looking forward to flying some of them. They sound unique. Something a bit different than the usual cargo/fighter ship that is typical.

I would have thought they would have to be more nimble than comparable ships of their mass/size or at least have some defensive abilities to deter would be piwats etc.
