Title says it. Since it suppose to be trusted fighter of RSF forces it is a neutral ship. It looks like very small ship, so I think it should be somewhere in TIER2 level ships, with 30k mass at the most. It would add some more SW feel to all RSF pilots if they could fly it I think. People who agree plz sign.

of course, i mean, the RSF should definitely outfit their pilots with equipment that is 30 years old or more. not only is the ship weaker and slower than modern ships that are flying now, but it is actually pretty ugly and would look just retarded out in the middle of nowhere.

I wouldnt see a problem with it, some people actually Role play in MMoRPGs so it would be cool to RP a group of underpaid merc pilots. The yacht is underpowered but people still use it. So i wouldnt be threatened by somone wanting a naboo starfighter. I agree they are ugly, but what the heck if your on somones "6" they dont have to look at you.

If you played SW starfighter game this ship was agile and fun to pilot. Plus yellow color and its looks make it stand out of the crowd.

Well.. if the N1 were to be implemented..


The N1a and N2 should be implemented as well, they made an appearence in one of the SW RTS games. the N1a is a bomber, it is bigger than the N1 and has four engines, two side by side on each wing, along with a turret on the back. While the N2 is an interceptorhas only one engine right under the cockpit. And all three use astromechs instead of FC's. Also, when the RSF is supported by the empire you think they wouldnt update the equipment on the fighters? plus, technology hasnt really evolved much if at all between episode 1 and episode 5. Plus, dont you think Vader would have some respect for the N1 having flown one himself?


for colour, the chrome perhaps could not beon the fighters at all or be on it as an option, but that part would require chromite ore.

didn't mean to flame. it's just that you really don't need it. i guess it would be cool to add for some people, but so would adding various things that other people think are cool. as an imp i would love the TIE defender, but if i asked for it, many people would protest it.


the ship is over 30 years old. if it were an upgraded model or something, then i can see it happening, but tossing that into space is the equivalent of flying a p-51 against an f-15. maybe if it were a quest reward for RSF, something a master RSF would do... but if that were the case there would have to be a special ship to each branch of each profession. it really isn't fair to add a fighter that no one else can use and not compensate for it. i guess if it were included in an expansion or something, 9 ships for each path, stats across the board the same, then no harm would come of it.


of course i don't know why someone would want it... but i guess that is just me.

The F-15 is 32 years old

More ships would be nice, and they seem to have turned the Krayt out relatively quickly. The Naboo fighters wouldn't be my choice, but I'm all for variety after 18 months of composite armour.

Being only 30 years old in the Starwars galaxy doesn't mean much. According to the EU, hyperdrive and the galactic civilization has been around for thousands of years. Its not like on Earth where we have gone from the steam age to the space age in only a couple hundred years. By all accounts, it appears that the Starwars universe has reached a relative platue as far as technology is concerned. Even supposed new advancements, such as the Deathstar's superlaser appear to simply be large scale applications of already exsisting technologies, and not all out newly invented technology. There's no reason to think that an N1 fighter, even if it was 30 years old, would be detrimentally inferior to more recent designs.


Now, that all being said, I'd rather see other ships added before the N1, but at some point I think it would be nice to add a Naboo theampark that combined both ground and space missions with the final reward being a limited use schematic for the N1.

I'm all for the guys! I like the N-1. It should be about the same as a TIE/In in terms of mass and performance. That automatically makes it a more useful light fighter than the Syk.

As for age, you can explain that problem away. As had already been noted, the F-15 is 30 years old, if not a little older. They keep updating the internals, but the airframes are still good. Surely the Naboo can update their fighters yet keep the same appearance. It's amazing what new engines, guns, and shields can do.

Personally, I am all-for that which adds to Star-Warsiness.
