This thing was designed by MC Escher and built by drunken kobolds. It is a flying bilge bucket and full of fail.
For starters:
Get rid of dead end rooms and decks.
Seriously rooms with no hookpoints?
Soooo much empty space and twists and turns for no purpose.
Such horrible hook locations. On the very edge of a ramp almost dangling off the boat?

If we could un-'upgrade' I would. I would trade the extra ONE hook point for the time saved on a smaller more efficient ship layout.

Yes, for such an achievement, Guild Level 80+, this ship is so bad of a design.

Though the L55 ship is store brought, the gab between 50 & 80 should yield more of a boost over the DDO store one at least.

So in a way you need to compare the L50 to the L80 one.

Thats the one that lokos like my 4 yr old built it out of leggos -- while on acid, right?

Good god yes ditch that thing. Fortunately, our guild has had ample opportunity to view that ungainly monstrosity, and we will NOT be purchasing it; we are skipping it and waiting for the next one (after having upgraded every single tier previously).

Its ugly, its badly organized, and no one wants it, despite the extra hooks.

Store bought blah. We upgraded to every ship on the way and each one was an upgrade. The 55 to 80 is a massive downgrade in my book.

Not to mention it shorts you 3 hook points. The description promises more hook points than the reality delivers.

you're behind the times, that issue is well past being fixed.

*though to be fair i'm not sure it was a retroactive fix for existing boats.

Actually, it was designed and built by marketing people! They designed it so that after buying it with pp (taking those out of the game), you would be so ready to puke that spending the $$$ to buy enough turbine points to purchase 400 astral diamonds for the stormglory typhoon actually sounds like a good idea!

Marketing people are much more evil than kobolds.
