Guildship for smaller guilds idea

To start I know 50 million isn't hard to get but this is just my fun idea to allow smaller more casual guild a chance to do conquest.

My idea is to add a third type of Guildship that is smaller then the other two currently out there and makes sense lore wise to be available to both factions. This ship will also be smaller and at a more lower price that can be worked out so more casual and f2p can participate.

The starship I have in mind is this one seen from the cartel bazaar on both fleets.

This ship is of Hutt design by what I can tell and looks really cool but will no doubt be a fraction the size of other Guildships. Currently Guildships have 15 unlockable rooms/hallways while this one could have say 5. Size and price wise it will be like comparing the tat stronghold to Dromund Kaas/Coruscant. This ship will have drawbacks vs the regular Guildships like less decor room and rooms.

TLDR neutral small Hutt guildship for smaller/casual guilds so they can participate in conquest that will have less decor options/rooms available to it.

Please post any comments or ideas thank you for reading!

Can I preorder a rowboat. My companions are getting frumpy. It would be a good idea.

It's a nice idea, but I really don't see it happening.

I absolutely support this!!! They should be giving those away to guild leaders. Conquest is one of the best things to hit this game since launch...gating it behind some a 50mil guild ship is just stupid. I'd prefer they just give the main ship away to guild leaders, but a smaller version is fine. ANYTHING to open Conquest up to other players.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

what they could also do is instead of fighting over planets is set them up to attack space ports or space stations to control orbiting the planets that give a smaller buff to your guild than full control of the planet. This could tie in to what they had at release where guilds could set themselves up as allies or enemies of one another. You could either harass the other planetary winning guild or aid them.
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Is this referral mic on? It's free stuff and stuff, in game.

No. Pay the price for leaderboard attempts or go home.

If this was an option at the very start of launch, do you know what would happen? Every guild with an eye for conquests would get this super cheap ship to launch invasions from rather than spend the money for the bigger ship. That is, if this fantasy ship had a comparable conquests bonus to guild ships. Big and/or well organized guilds still win.

If this ship had a nearly non existent bonus for conquest points, nobody serious about making the leaderboard would buy it. Still stuck in the same situation.

50 million can be done by one player.

If a guild chooses not to pursue a guild flagship, that's on them. The price is not too high.

This poor horse died months ago. You can stop beating it any time now. It's looking pretty flat.

It would be really cool if we could buy those cut-rate guild ships so we could PARTICIPATE in conquests, but there'd need to be some kind of limitation to them. Maybe let us get the invasion bonuses to conquest objectives, but not let us actually be on the leaderboard? The appeal there would be for guildies to get the invasion multipliers and finish personal conquests faster.
Speaking as the guildmaster of a small, semi-active, casual guild, I would definitely pay 5-10 million for my guild to have one with that functionality.

What about the smaller spaceship, I.E the one you see in the Alderaan warzone?
