Customizable Space Ships
It's been stated more than once from Bungie employees that the space ship has some level of importance and will be customizable. Ships will be personal, and we will be able to "upgrade" them as we see fit.
There has been some understandable skepticism about whether or not we will be able to fly our spaceships manually, or fight in space or in high atmosphere.
My question is: What other purposes could space ship customization have other than dogfighting with cool lasers and missiles? What is the point of spending in-game money on upgrading a ship if it doesn't really DO anything? Is it purely aesthetic? What are your guys' thoughts?
Here are some of my own theories:
-Advanced engines or warp drives will enable ships to transport us to other planets
-Cloaking/shielding on ships will enable us to travel to hard to reach locations for advanced, "deep behind enemy lines" missions
-More advanced ships might come with more advanced ground assistance, i.e. upgrading from a "Sparrow" to like a "Pike" for example.
-A ship made entirely out of platinum would be awesome
-
They said that you will have vehicles in the game and I'm pretty sure your ship will be used to transport your vehicle to you Oh and by the way why does everyone act like ships will be used in Combat (space combat maybe) but calling your ship down getting in it and flying in the sky while shooting all your enemies down is kind of overpowered. It all may depend on how it is implemented maybe it could Help you in combat but not nessessaraly have you Carpet bomb the place maybe your ship could drop ammo, or Health, some shields, or Maybe Drop down weapons you have stored in the ship or if your friends are near you and you need help your ship (or your ghost) could tell them to get over there and help him.
