It could be the starter ship. From what i saw in Ep. 1 the Naboo fighter was pretty weak.

I think it's pretty good for combat and it's fast too. It might be a little slower than a TIE though, but not much.

Apparently the YT-1300 is a neutral ship and factioned pilots can fly a few of the neutral ships....... The unknown ships are ones that only that faction can fly(Imp, Reb, or Neutral). Well thats the way I remember the dev's stating it atleast.



Don't know where you got that, please post a link but it's wrong according to shug-nix posts at the top of the page. There will be different versions of the YT for each faction pilot profession but each faction will
have ships that only it can fly. There will be no cross over and the pilot professions are exclusive (one profession only at a time).

Naboo starfighters would be cool (i don't care about the silly time frame discussions) as long as they don't have to be yellow.

the Naboo N-1 Starfighter, was my choice before the game came out, if the ship becomes neutral, and lets both Rebels and Imperials fly them, at least there will be something else too look at, instead of everyone having there own X-Wing/TIE Advanced/YT-1300.




Also.. I thought the Rebels already had 5 ships?


Rebel
: X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing.. and the Z-95 Headhunter.. the YT-1300, to my knowladge is a neutral ship, and is also available to all other factions.

Imperial: TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, TIE Advanced, TIE Bomber.. am i missing one? TIE Defender maybe? *shrugs*


Neutral: I have no idea what ships these guys get, but there more than likley to cert for the Naboo N-1 Starfighters.

sorry for posting twice but..


the Firespray, apparently was the last of it's kind when Jango Fett first "accquired" it, and it was the same ship Boba Fett used... until it was destroyed, then he had Slave 2, 3 and 4 later

naboo starfighters, if they're in this game, should be rare as hell and relics from a past age. Think about it; the xwings and TIEs of this game are manufactured by massive galactic corporations spanning worlds. The naboo fighters are specially designed for the defense forces of one planet, out of hundreds. There are simply not that many of them out there. I don't mind if a few show up (preferably as part of some NPC quest) but it would really ruin the mood if they were flying around everywhere.

The firespray is supposed to be a very popular ship in the star wars universe and not an uncommon sight...


*But* Jango Fett had made certain... improvements to his IE the Turbolasers seen in Ep2


*shrugs* I could be wrong but in the game XWA you spent 75% of the story campaign flying alongside your brother who flys one... and from what I can see that didnt have the improvements Jango's had

Considering how Rebels have limited resources for their fleets I don't think it's much of a stretch to include them. Salvage old republic ships and put them into commision.

Ep II had three great things.


1) Hayden Christiansen getting the crap kicked out of him.


2) Natalie Portman and the evershrinking white bodysuit. Now if she had only gotten wet...


3) Yoda cutting loose with the little green pokie saber. That duel was worth the rest of the crap we put up with.
