ok im kinda not happy about the firespray not beein a mp ship as it should be like in the movie
you mean the movie where boba fett has hidden his two co-pilots neatly away in the cargo hold so they will never be seen or mentioned and everybody will wonder how great he is to fly the ship alone? did we see different movies? are you aware that making the firespray a mp ship would mean not a single master ship you can fly alone?
Ummm......didn't Jango Fett fly with Boba in Ep. II? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Boba was sitting right next to him. Hence, multi-passenger ship. It even looked like Boba had some controls in front of him and everything.

boba can fly his firespray alone because I believe he set computers to do the jobs of the other two seats.

Why would the FireSpray be a MP ship. Sure theremaybe more then one seat on board, but the inside is a little to cramped to be a MP ship. In all of the reliable cut-away views of the FireSpray, there just isn't enough room to waste on having it MP. It's would be like have the bridge from the Yacht to walk around, not much space there. And yes it is a double decker ship, it would still only have the space of the Yachts bridge on one deck and the same size on the other deck. There is not enough room to justify a MP ship.

But still, would be nice to be able to walk around in it. And the blueprints etc. that most of us have seen is eighter for Boba's or Jango's Firespray wich is heavily modified. Might not be so cramped inside there on the original firespray. Just take away the prison cell they use, and there you go. More space

huh??
The Slave 1 that is in the hands of Boba Fett,doesn't have any room to walk around (unless you you want to board and unbourd, which would be cool with any of the ships) or..
The Slave 1 that was owned by Jango Fett (Jango mostlyleft the ships over all configuration the same, only adding some enhanced equipment, and a few hidden weapons)) whos outword apperance was left the same with the exception of a few armor add ons, and a small crew quarters behind the cockpit.
Either way there isn't much room to move around at all.
And yes I know they are both the same ship, it's just that Boba modified Slave 1 after he took command of it

Last I checked, I can fly my B-Wing alone.
you and the imps, but until we poor freelancers finally get our master sp ship the firespray is pretty much our only choice (though considering the hassle to build one and the resulting prices its not really such a great one)
Don't forget our new Christmas present - the Krayt!

It is primarily a solo ship, though... Without a player atthe turret, it still has 3 lasers and decent mass.

Firesprays are patrol ships by nature. They might have room for supplies, but that would probably be it. The ones we have are different models to the Slave 1 and they aren't as heavily modified.

I love how some people take Icon ships from the movie and consider them "How things are" when the ships we fly in game are "standard issue" ships.
Meaning the Firespray is NOT Slave-1 but a Firespray. Same with the YT-1300. People say "why dont we have this or that, this sucks" when the standard YT didn't come equiped with that (same for Firespray).
Look, at least we get to fly! What other game (MMO) has the same type of game system we have in this game? We not only get to kick booty on the ground, but can then take our fights to space and other times, take buds up there in MP ships and kill as well.
I mean come on. Be thankful at least.
Back to the subject, The Firespray is a current Standard Issue ship. Single Seater. Slave 1 and most schems that you see are based on Slave 1 which is NOT what we are flying.

I think the bigger complaint isn't so much that it's a firespray and doesn't allow multiplayer, but that it's a master level ship & doesn't allow multiplayer.

I must have missed where Master Level ships are all MP ships.
Last I check not all of them are nor do the have to be.

You really don't get to see much of the Slave 1 cockpit (through the eyes of the pilot) in EPII, but from what I can tell, the Firespray cockpit looks nothing like Slave 1's.
