Define remotely dangerous. My YT with its trained crew has taken out high tier gunships with little fuss or muss. If your operations officer knows how to handle shields and you've got a remote clue as how to build a ship, the YT (and I'd imagine the Decimator and Nova as well) is a sturdy little beast. If, on the other hand, you don't constantly look for good parts to RE, figure out how to take advantage of flight computer programs or train a crew...well, that's not exactly JtL's fault.

If you want to fly and shoot down iconic ships your best bet is to join a faction. I'm not exactly sure what an 'iconic' privateer ship looks like (aside from Slave-1 and The Millenium Falcon) so the 'Hutt' and 'Black Sun' ships don't bother me so much. In fact, the only 'iconic' privateer ship I recall from the X-Wing/TIE games is the 'cloakshape' fighter which does look quite a bit like the Syck (and the Syck even looks better). Perhaps some neutral forces should have different rosters. That I can agree with. CorSec should have Z95s and X-Wings along with neutral class heavy fighters for example.

Gunships don't count when they are too stupid to know you're firing from their blindspot

As for iconic Privateer vessels, there are dozens already around theEU,it's not hard to find them.

and before anyone replies to my post accusing me of exploiting blind spots... do a tiny bit of research and you'll learn how I feel about people that do that to take out dangerous ships.

AND to further add my two credits, every single "iconic" privateer / freelance fighter from the EU was created by someone for some reason, be it the Skipray Blastboat or the R-41 Starchaser (Timothy Zahn for Heir to the Empire and Lawrance Holland for a fodder ship in X-Wing). Point is these other people were allowed to create something to add to the cannon: why can't SOE?

Wow, Just had the most fun I've had in a long time in this game.

A guildmate needed help with a mission. So our guild helped out. Two of us have crappy fighters...so we fought from the turrets of one ship while our guildies were flying zooming through the dogfight in their TIE's.

That was Awesome!!! I was blown away. This is what I play for.
