Notice at the end of a new hope when Han shoots the TIE off luke and spends Vader spinning?

Good one. You know your movies. Something Everitt_Cage does not.

Wookie?

Zactly. There is not one movie reference that shows the YT-1300 in battle with only one person in it.

Also dont forget the several small philapeno children chewie hired to fit into the small compartmentsand fire the small gun mounts at the stromtroopers thus blasting their way out of mos eisley. They were also handy in echo base.

I sincerely hope they leave it as is. You wanna battle solo? Keep a fighter in your datapad, or redeed one.

That is the way it should stay, It takes too much of the pilots skills to manage the YT-1300s systems in flight. Also i think what looks like Chewie shooting at that TIE that flys over is actually one of the TIE's blaster popping off the front as it flies over. It looked to me like Chewie was flipping a curcuit breaker. But i could be wrong and would definatly accept it if i was. But i dont think for sanity sake keep the YT-1300 a freighter and not an attack craft. Turrets are for defense not offense.

heres a thought... who cares if han fired them from the cockpit or not, its a movie this is a game. the turrets should face forward and be fireable from the cockpit when nobody else is in the ship. it will stil have a disadvantage because they wont be as effective

Do you realize how bad it would be to have forward-firing only weapons on a flying brick? You go up and try once, you'll never want to do it solo again.

Here's a thought, if your going to throw out the who cares if its in the movie this is a game. Then throw out the damn name star wars then, throw out anchorhead, throw out the sarlaac pit throw out everything else representing star wars. Call it "A space game kinda like Star Wars" They already Fubarrd the ground game please leave space alone.

Yeah, this has been done to death already.

Multi-player ships need mutiple players to be fully manned, this is the way they have balanced them. With 500000 mass you have enough room for the top-level everything and probably still have enough room for more. You already have the ability to fire of the THREE missle launchers, why would you even think that you need the cannons as well? Unless you just want to have uber ships flying around with everyone flying solo in a MP ship once they get master, think again.

Let it be, and quit griping about things that are not really an issue.

With thewayamaster pilot profession is obtained, ie going into a pvpzone, I fully believe everyone will not make it tomaster. Only the best and most organized will.Therefore everyonewont use MPS's. AlsoMPS's will not fit everyonesplaying style. Some peoplepreferfaster more manverable ships, something MPSs are not.

Actually Han does fire himself in ANH on first sight of the Tie Fighter, when the Falcon is approaching the Death Star. He touchs two levers above him, and then you can bothsee and hear blaster fire.

Wouldn't it be fun to by those super AI turrets and put them in?

That's pretty much how it was in X-Wing Alliance. All you really had to do was fly around erratically while your AI picked off the TIEs.

Speaking of Lando go watch ROTJ and see how he takes out the Death Star Reactor. No turret there.
In fact watch the whole space battle part and see how many times they shoot forward without turrets.
My guess Between ANH and ROTJ Han got some pretty sweet weapon upgrades from the Rebels.

That's a good point. So, according to the time-line, no forward-firing guns yet.

Game mechanics, too, though. Can you imagine PvPing in a flying brick with forward-firing only weapons?? /shudder
