In beta it was a privateer ship if I remember right, but TH took it out.
And stated he had plans for it, even took it out of the SW list.

First of all the Firespray can be used by all three factions Masters. Not just privateers.
Second, errr ... privateers are the only class to get to use the YT-1300 .. like in Millenium Falcon?
That holds two passengers, sooooo .... what's the problem?

Rebels are the only ones to use a Nova, errr , Imperials are the only ones to get Decimators.
Rebels and imps get 2 ships at master + firespray while privateer gives 1 ship + firespray.
I think it would be better if it was privateer master only and required some BH skills.

Require BH?
Its not a BH ship, in fact there are no BH ships, just because jango/boba used one.
Does not make it a BH ship, just like the YT-1300 is not a smuggler ship.

I know the firespray is a Law enforcement ship but it would add a little space content for the BHs.
2 bounter hunters has used it, why not more?

Ok go get novice BH and fly it, nothing is stoping you.
BH get no perks in space so I fail to see the reason it should be BH only.

If anyone's ever taken the time to look at the Privateer ships...the tier 3 one that's on par with the Kimogila is crap. The Kihraxz is two steps back. The Dunelizard weighs in at just under 30k or 40kmass (when remembering right...), has 2 weapon mounts and an ordnance mount...and that's at tier 2. The Kimogila at tier 3 weighs in at just under 70k mass and has 3 weapon mounts and an ordnance mount....The Kihraxz, which is also a tier 3 ship, has 1 weapon mount and 1 ordnance mount and weighs in at around 25k mass...I think. So, yes, it can mount higher-powered equipment than the Dunelizard since it's only got 1 blaster slot...but you get half the blaster loadout. Huh???
Now, if speed and maneuverability were tied in some ways to the chassis, then the fact that the Kihraxz is a super-fast assault fighter would help negate the negligable loadout...but since maneuverability is tied ONLY to engines, I can drop my engines with a top speed of 90.8 and give my Kimogila a max velocity of around 900...as well as having three sets of blasters. Or I can put that engine in my Kihraxz, have it go just under 900 yet only have one blaster...
The drawback of having a 2-blaster fighter at tier 2 is that we don't get any MP ships until Master. There are times when I'd gladly have traded my Dunelizard for a Y-Wing simply because if you get a turret gunner, you can fly in a straight line and the turret gunner can pick off enemies as they line up on your tail.

Not harassing, I would have been fine with it as a master privateer ship.
I am going Imp myself, and other then having one for something different,
I could care less about the firespray.
But it should not be a BH ship, just like the YT-1300 should not be a smuggler ship.

When I was in beta, it was very much in and the certs were as they stand. The firespray should be made a neutral only ship, as neutrals are already down 1 ship and it would be a reward for going neutral. Not to mention that if the firespray does prove to be a real good ship, everyone will have one. And yes, unless the devs have changed it since beta, I do know how to get a firespray.

Im gonna have to agree, I dont think the imperials or rebals should get the firespray. Imperials would never use this ship, thats obvious. The rebal side is a little harder to convince, but us privateers are lacking a ship and the firespray would be a good reason to stay neutral rather then going Imp or rebal for the extra ships. I like that onlyweget the YT-1300 but the firespray makes no sense being imperial ship.
