Well one big thing that i enjoyed on venators we don't get to do is build up to events. This alone makes them a lot more interesting and fun to me. So we can choose which planet we need to go to in the little planet selector on the venator. We fly their and CIS frigate is outside, WE battle them, board them, dog fight them, blow them up and then head to the planet surface for a deployment. I think personally that adds a lot to events unlike now where its just we go there we can't really fly a LAAT out or anything because we just crash. The base is cool and i enjoy it don't get me wrong, but switching between would be fun to me!
