Thread: Please give neutral ships a master ship or make the yt-1300 able to fire weapons solo!!!

I agree 100% on making the Yt-1300 usable while solo. It is the master ship for privateers and should be a solo/multi combo ship to make it unique and practical to use. Obviously having a crew on board would increase your effectiveness but it should be usable solo otherwise for most players it's just taking up space, not to mention I've read numerous threads on how bad multi ships suck even with full crews versus say the same 5 people all flying solo ships.
No, you do the math. Your Rihxyrk has 190K mass with 3 weapon hardpoints and handles better than the 170K mass Oppressor which has only 2 weapon hardpoints. Yeah, we have the faster ship but so what?Neutrals have more than enough mass to fit a fast high lvl engine onto their shipstogether with Engine Overload 3 to offset the lower YPR rarios. As for bombstrike, well go make an 4444 imp pilot and see if you can solo the vette with ease. Bombstrikes are only good for drawing enemy fire and support- besides, Imperials are supposed to have advantage in numbers.

LOL Now imperials are the last to with the right to claim more stuff for em.
Do the math buddy. You got bomber strike wich enables you to do the vette solo with ease! You have the quickest ships (turn/yaw/etc) and you have a master AND a MP ship!
us neutrals don´t have sh*beep* by comparispon!

incidentally (and this has been argued for months) the neutrals have 1 ship less than the imperials and 1 ship more than the rebels.
I'm sorry to correct you...but, for the record, every profession has the same number of ships.
http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/expansions_ships.jsp
Each Pilot profession has 6 fighter certifications and 1 multiplayer ship (not counting theFirespray andYacht which are available to all). Its just that all of your fighter ship certs are available before Master unlike Imp and Reb that puts one each in the Master box. Also, there is some confusion with the Rebel Y-wing. There are two versions: one 2 passenger and one single passenger with more mass. On theSWG shipsweb site the TIE Aggressor is listed twice. In total that is 18 fighter certifications, 6 for each profession.
Secondly, the only unfair disavantage that the YT-1300 has is that it less one ordance slot (missile point). The Reb Nova and Imp Decimator havethree MPs while the YT only has two. You can argue that this is unfair and unbalancing for you. However, making the argument that the YT should be soloable is not valid, from a game balance perspective. This is a multi passanger ship just like the other two and there is no reason that it should any different that the other two.

Added the M22-T "Krayt" Gunship as a neutral master-box gunship. This ship is equipped with a player controlled turret, like the Y-wing and TIE Aggressor.
Rejoice!!
Now it's a joke? or it's true? i didn't see anything like that?
Check TC update notes. Not a joke.

I own a YT. Truthfully, I sincerely tried to find reasons why I would need lockable turrets, and couldn't find one. I am an RP'er, and still couldn't find a substantial reason to have them. For the rare times I get aggro'd, the missiles are plenty of defense. And, even with lockable turrets, heaven forbid you should try to use it offensively without a squadron or crew.
People seem to miss the point that our ships are designed for squadron support. In the Star Wars movies, the books, other games, everywhere you look, ships are designed to complement each other.
Even in RL, all craft are made to support each other.
RL + F-22 = end all be all. (at least in theory)

I don't see the harm of the Neutrals getting a Master Level bomber and support that 100%
The YT-1300 should not get a forward firing projectile and I am 100% opposed to that.
I completely agree (HOORAY FOR THE KRAYT!!!) but I would like see a change made to the YT-1300. 1 more ordnance hardpoint to level the playing field.
Naaah I would have the yt1300 as a solo ship, but I'm happy.
but also i agree with u the YT1300 should have is missing ordnance and his loot box
Wow, when was the last time you flew your YT? It has a loot box now, for a couple weeks at least.
The last time I flew the Beebop (my YT) was arround the 11 nov. I think. but I redeed it again, because I have no use 4 it. it's hard to get a crew if 80% of your friend canceled the game
