Sell me on it... why is it so good? Why does everyone have one? What will I have to do to use it/will I need an active crew? Should I get one, or just get other ships I want (600i, Scorpius, Redeemer, Vulture..) Any opinions welcome.

I'm just thinking like, how is it going to actually work? I know it has shops, and I'd love to be an intergalactic shopkeeper, but what will I need to keep it stocked, is it for one person or an org, what's so awesome about it everyone seems to have one (apart from it's gorgeous and cool.)That sounds like you want a way to blame someone else if you buy a BMM, and it doesn't suit you. You need your own reasons, or it might not make you happy, and your money is going to stay spent.

There you go I edited my original post.
Why so good? Before the Kracken-Z or whatever its called, the BMM was the only ship with a specialist marketplace you could buy, sell and move cargo between ships with specialist facilities onboard, so its one of the top tier trading vessels.Sell me on it... why is it so good?

I like combat, but not that much. I don't think I've played a single game where the focus is solely combat for ten years.I have never understood why anyone would want to play the role of a shopkeeper in SC. Why not just go play Farmville?
Can I please roleplay having root canal next please?
But it is purtiful with big guns.

You're in good company! I quite like PVE ship combat. But I enjoyed mining more than I had expected to. If you haven't tried it, try a bit of ROC mining with a suitable transport ship (a rented Cutlass Black works well, or maybe you have something suitable), see if you can earn enough from mining Hadenite to buy a Prospector, and then try kitting it out appropriately and mining for quantanium. This guide is great for that, and it's a very solid way to make money once you get the hang of it - which isn't hard.I like combat, but not that much.

You say that but when I used to play Ultima Online there was something so massively satisfying about logging on the next day and checking your shopkeepers and finding that they'd sold out of bows and arrows etc. the fact that out of the hundreds of merchant out there they'd bought from BUTUZ.I have never understood why anyone would want to play the role of a shopkeeper in SC.

Why disparage people who want to do something different from you? I don't see why someone would only want to do combat in a game that has so much more to offer. It seems to limit their options, but that's their choice.I have never understood why anyone would want to play the role of a shopkeeper in SC. Why not just go play Farmville?

I agree, while I don't necessarily understand how one finds enjoyment in said activity I am glad there are those who do as they will create opportunities for lots of different play styles around them. From protecting/attempting to loot them to finding and selling rare items to buying said rare item without having to find someone who has it. As for myself I see the appeal of combat which is why most of my ships are heavy combat focused, but there is still the preceded idea that it will be fun to go out exploring or at times just sitting on the bridge of an Orion as it eats whole astroid belts and relaxing in discord.Why disparage people who want to do something different from you?
