I remember way back in early JTL BETA the Nebulon-B frigate was actually targetable with sub systems. Not sure why that was removed, but the code is definitely there to 'activate' it. I'd love to have a poke at it!

The Frigate you speak of, first seen in the last scene of Empire Strikes Back, is the Nebulon-B Frigate. The Nebulon-B is already in JTL. But like all the ships & platforms, they just sit there and do nothing, and you can't do anything to them.
I do recall in either JTL Beta or in the very early days of JTL's release, that some of the ships do fire warheads at you.
Example: You usually could find a Rebel Nebulon-B FRG (Frigate) at the Shadow of the Alliance POI at Yavin IV. I would go over there and kill the Tier 4 Rebel NPCs but had to keep in mind my distance from the FRG. If I got too close, the thing would fire a missile or two.
But it doesn't do ANYTHING anymore. Not sure how long it's been that way ever since the release of JTL.

Far cooler to make them all base yellow, and force everyone to toe the line, then sit back and listen to the whining.

Plus, seeing that fighter in different colors and having texturekits added to it would make it look pretty cool.

They'll deal with it.
Imperials are just happy with the unalterable textures / paint schemes of the Imperial craft.

I'd would love to see the Star Viper, put in. I'd give up my X-wing & Rebel pilotin a heartbeat for this thing.Sadly timeline and story wise it isn't too feasable. The skipray blastboat and cloakshape fightersare just too unique in deisgn to miss. I too think the N-1 should be added somehow. Yes it isa prequal ship but, who's to say the Naboo do not use it, or the RSF for that matter. I think they were shown in RotJ. One other ship I think was missed was the Surronian Assault Ship (a.k.a. - Guri's Stinger) The V-wing during the GCW is an atmospheric fighter soit's still a no go. I'm not one for multi-passenger ships, but there are plenty out there.
Too bad some of the ships from KotOR and before would feel horribly wrong in the current game. Sith fighters were verynifty and so was Ulic Qel-Droma's Nebulon Ranger.
Question though for all the Imperial players. Why the need for the Lambda shuttle? Yes the ship is awesome looking and all but, is there really a need for it in space? It's a personal transport. The thing would be perfect if SWG had atmospheric flight possible. Just curious is all.

from the Dev Chat recently they said there were plans to introduce NEW ships in the upcoming expansion however no lambda!!!
how could they do this to us die hard imperials. the lambda model is already in the game!! just make it flyable with interior!

Powered Spacesuit.
To Change between POB-Ships or Fighters.. Maybe add an external Brace to dock a fighter to a POB
Use of Spacesuits ingame:
-Plant Bombs to the Outside of Ships
-Slicing open Doors on Places like the Avatar Station, to even enter it.

The Lambda is an iconic Starwars ship. Therefore the Dev's have never seen it.
Expect to see some kind of idiotic looking "Jedi Shuttle" in-game soon.
