ok think about this... Your a jedi.. Your supposed to be in hiding are you really going to fly up to a blockade of TIE Interceptors and Star Destroyers with your Jedi Starfighter and expect not to get attacked... Jedi are supposed to be in hiding so why should they get a ship that would expose them for who they are

your serious about Jedi Starfighters? what... are they gonna have some special skills to go with it? no!, if Jedi did get a Jedi Starfighter and "special skills" then wouldnt the Jedi own both ground and space... if they do add Jedi Starfighters, then at least in Combat Balance, make all! professions balance, not just keep jedi how it is and nerf the rest...

If you ever played rouge squadron 3 in a level you go to geonosis and you find a old jedi starfighter and take it and use it.They STILL exist

If they were to make this playable then they need to go ahead and add other master professions specific ships as well llike the Firespray for BHs or a frieghter for Smugglers. Jedi shouldn't be coddled in this way because by the Jedi Starfighter game they can use force powers in these things. I actually would just rather they not add any profession specific ships if they are going to add a Jedi Starfighter.

I could care less if you get a jedi starfighter
If you don't get onewell than that helps with my feeling of immersion...
If you do get one I and many other players will hunt you down specifically for having the audacity to fly in a ship that screams "HI, I'm a jedi in space, Come shoot me down"

I say no, forget a special Jedi craft, they already have the ground game devoted to them, I don't want to see the space devoted to them.

Hey, I have an idea. If the DO get Jedi Starfighters, how about they get the xp loss when they get shot down if they are in one? Hmm... Oh, and a perma-TEF whie in one to all BHs and overt Imps.

i don't know how much of this is actually considered part of official but it was my understanding from the EP2 novel that the jedi starfighter wasn't just for jedi..
there was a part in the book where jango was talking to boba and talking about how they could tell the ship was pilotted by a jedi vs a non-jedi (the type of droid the ship had)..
with that i don't see how having the jedi starfighter would be a benefit considering neither the rebellion nor Empire used the ship. and with the jedi council now extinct (which is who was its primary user, the jedi council in SWG is just a bastardization SOE) i don't see how they could introduce them logically.
Even luke, the last jedi, used an X-wing..
Darth Vader, who would have been the only one with real access to the jedi starfighters (as they where kept at the jedi temple), uses a Tie (can't remember the model)..
even in all of the EU books none of the force sensitive characters used the jedi starfighter..
and probably for the same reasons the Naboo Fighter will never be a ship in SWG(because the empire didn't use them)

Well I dont think its just for jeid, thats just the name. Like the Rebel X wing...of cours enot just rebels fly it but thats what its refferred to. The Jedi Starfighter is the same.

I want to know if it's going to be restricted to Jedi only. Is it going to be SOE giving Jedi another cookie? I would hate to see the Jedi given an advantage over other players in space. It's bad enough on the ground.

Why bump a thread from last July? All opinions here are from pre-JTL.

And now the Jedi are getting their Jedi Starfighter, so it's relavent. I also disagree with including the JS, and if they do, then I bloody well better be able to take missions on them in space, and they bloody well better lose XP.
If you get advantages in space like on the ground, you take the same penalties.

Don't know if I like this fighter or not, it kind of looks like what would happen if the Empire and Kilrathi (wing commander) made a ship together.
