Fully agree. I own the Kusari Geisha, and I'm going to purchase the Democritus Yacht tomorrow or soon enough, and I'm a little stunned by how insanely good the Geisha is (until I realised it was a kusari ship! ho ho! ah seriously. These jokes exist for a reason) and pretty disappointed by how tame the Yacht is.
I mean yeah, okay, neither of these ships are combat ships, fair enough. But there are a bunch of other ships that aren't combat ships that could destroy the luxury yacht, and cost a third of the price. The yacht's infocard makes it sound ridiculously powerful (literally ridiculous. who wrote that?), yet it is actually really rather flimsy. Yeah, it has a gunboat turret. One. And only 4 transport turrets. There is nothing, to my knowledge, that approaches the size of the yacht, and is so feebly armed. The luxury liner isn't a combat ship, but a quarter of it could probably kill the yacht. Think about it, this ship is basically the purest luxury/playboy/moneywaster that exists, and it's obscenely expensive for what it is. In reality, this thing would have something going for it. If it wasn't the armament, it would be ridiculously fast and manoeuvreable.
I'm not asking for this ship to be amazing, but just, at least better than something that is a sixth of the price and better in literally every single way except armour. I mean, how many people have already bought this ship, basically purely because of the word 'Luxury' in its name? These people don't want to go around 'pvpwhoring' or whatever, but if they're anything like me, they would at least like the ship they bought to be awesome in some way.
I mean, it is basically as good as a transport and about a third of a gunboat. Which should make it cost about 12,000,000, much like the kusari geisha. But it costs 72,000,000. What. I want some return on my outlay! If it really is a luxury yacht, make it damned luxurious! Give it something that sets it out from the crowd and justifies the expense. I mean, isn't that the whole point of this sort of vessel?
