There are quite a few interesting ship ideas for inclusion in the Space Expansion, like the Lambda shuttle with which I agree completely, and I was thinking that I would like to see one myself.
I have never been a big fan of the YT-1300 configuration myself, though I do like the ship in general, and so I got to thinking and decided that I would like to see how many people would be interested in seeing the YT-2000 inplemented for play. Also, as the demand has been high for it, let this petition include the YT-2400 as well! HAZZAH!
From a coding standpoint, it would just be a different skin over the same YT-1300 mechanics, though it would require some new artwork to be done. So anyway, I would like to see it included, and I would like to know how many others would be interested in the same thing. For those who don't know which ship the YT-2000 is see the link below:

I'm sure this fellow won't mind all the JtL fans tapping his page for the picture. 
SO if you like the design and would like to see it included/added to the Space Expansion so signify by /signing below.

The YT-2000 is a lesser-known ship in the SW universe, so it would be creative, and be better than having a bunch of Solo clones zipping around. Please, devs, include this.

I have a feeling that we'll end up having this as well as the YT-2400 in the game at some point.

As do I, but it is always a good thing to let the Devs know the direction of community interest.

Not like they check this board anyways.
Let's petition for a JTL correspondent.

It would be the same skin with a new model mate. The dev's would have to highly alter the existing YT-1300 which could take a wee while. However I am indeed very very drunk and it's taken me a good 15 minuts to correct this post for errors. (It was my high school leaving dance thinf)
But I'd likes to see this included.

Yeah, they wouldhave to make a whole new model. They could probably use the same cockpit model though, hehe.

PISS OFF SMARTASS! 
Just messin'.
Lets hope they do still pay attention to those who pay their paychecks, eh?

I think maybe they do, but they sure don't let us know about it.
I can't for the life of me figure out why we don't have a JTL correspondent though. We need one.
I guess the forum is just too young.

Object-modeling is a simple 3D mapping process using the rendering software for the basic environmental containers in the game. It would take about 5 minutes, and I guaranty they already have the modeling parameters in the system.
Artwork would take a little time, but the ship mechanics would be the same as for the YT-1300. So in reality, the delay would be in the art. Assuming they haven't already done this.
Wouldn't it be nice, for a change, if something we wanted was already in the expansion?

Yes, feedback FROM the Devs seems to be the broken part of the chain here. 
And yes, we do need a correspondent. SIGN THE PETITION!

Yes, but the "Question a day" seems to be a good step.
