I really hope these new ships are like the KSE and that any faction can use them. I do hope they are not too uber because I would hate to see them replace cannon ships like comp armor replaced everything else on the ground. Still they are old ships not attached to either faction so they should be more like the KSE as far as certification. Also I hope they spread these out between certifications. If they are all master level it would be a shame. One thing I really like about the Arc-170 is that it's a three person ship and unless it's just the art it might have a small cargo or cabin area between the cockpit and the turrets. That would be cool. Like a mini multiship. I've been wanting something closer to a system patrol craft for a long time. I hope that this is it. It looks to be a great bounty hunting class ship just on style alone.

I like it too, I bet it and all the other RotW fighters are cross-pilot-profession useable... least, I hope so.

my 2 credits
arc is going to be privateer because is a general starfighter
eta-2-"jedistarfighter" is going rebel well because a nickname like that come on.
the bebullba-22 is going imperial because sith are aligned with the empire anyways
also I think there will be a special mission to acquire them. or just be a master ship for thoose professions. I hope its going this way atleast.

The Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter is called that because it was Palpatines designed fighter for His Jedi Puppets during the Episode 3 Era of the clone wars. It looks very much like vaders tie when the wings open up. Odds are it will be a jedi only ship.
ARC fighter would be all factions. its a beefy ship again it was a Early Empire Ship used by Stormtroopers aka CLonetroopers

The ARC-170 looks more like a Rebel fighter-- the colors, the style, everything. So I'm betting that if these ships are divided up amongst the professions, Rebels will be getting the ARC-170. Which is fine with me, I want one. 
But hopefully all space professions will have certification to use all three ships. Why not? I'd like to get my hands on the ARC-170, and even the Greivous one, even though I'm a Rebel pilot ace.

Only real thing i see wrong with the post is that all of the alliance fighters are "general fighters" All of the criminal organizations have them... but freelance cant have an X-Wing?
I personally think they should all be generic fighters.

The ARC is cool, especially since it has two turrets in the rear and the astromech. I hope it is everyone because right now only Rebs get to use astromechs. And astromechs are just cool.
First 3 person fighter, thats just cool

It's actually a Republic ship. The newly formed Empire scraped all those designs in favor of their giant cruiser / puny fighter philosophy. That and they couldn't afford good fighters; not with all those superweapons they were intent on building. The Rebellion actually makes use of many Old Republic ships in their armadas. This fact has been mentioned many times in the books.

I really believe the Arc-170 will be a Rebel ship. Mainly, I'm going w/ the "astromech's goes to rebels" rule. Just speculating.

Hope all the new craft (not modified ones) are open to any faction.
