Will we be able to navigate large capital ships by ourselves in X4?

[Player]

I would love to pilot boring capital ships. The more of these ships in the game, the better.

Just as long as they don't have that ridiculous turn rates from X3.

Capital ships SHOULD be slow and cumbersome - gotta take the bad with the good, I'm afraid. Otherwise, it's merely an overgrown fighter (which, arguably, they already are if they are directly pilotable.) Personally, I think the option to take over the HELM of the ship (from the captain or whatever) should be present, but it needs to feel different, and perhaps even be implemented slightly differently in some way, in order to distinguish a capital ship from a lesser vessel.

Fresh from Egosoft presentation - you will be able to directly fly caphips if you want!
