Ships have always been a sort of fashion statement since D1 because well...they look awesome and the really unique ones take legit effort to get. Thing is, they have literally no functional use whatsoever. In fact, you could use the first Junker Ship™ from the campaign and it makes no difference.
Couldn't ships actually do [u] something[/u] ?Like maybe Crucible Dogfight mode where we fly around the Dreadnaught blasting each other out of the sky. Or racing against Holliday (so she'd actually have some purpose in the game) dodging rocks in the reef.
It always just bugged me that ships are literally just for loading screens and it seems like a waste of effort on the ship designers part.
