Many people are complaining, simple solution:
1. Leave firespray multifaction
2. Make YT-1300 multifaction
3. Gve master Neutral Pilots the YT-2400 and the Black Sun StarViper
Everyone can be happy with that I hope. I figure we already get to fly 3 black sun ships so lets keep with that. And the YT-2400 is an updated version of the 1300, as well as the 2000, and would fit in very nicely into the neutral pilot profession, especially because one of our branchs goes thru the smugglers alliance

I dont think it really matters what people flew in the movies. I mean, it's not like "Han Solo flew a yt-1300, therefore every single yt-1300 should be only flown by privateers like him." It makes sense for the Decimator and TIE Fighters, and I'm not saying everyone should havethe yt-1300 cert, cause privateers need something. I'm just saying i dont think it's a very strong argument, in some cases

Well, heres an excellent point!
Han has a YT-1300 which, according to this game, means he was a master neutral pilot. Ok, thats settled. Now, did Han start off with the Rebellion? Nope. Now he later went Reb on the ground right?
I'm an Imp Colonel but I'm a master neutral pilot withmy own YT.
Just something to undermine the mobs who say that Reb should get YTs.
But back to my point, give everyone the 1300, jsut give me the 2400 and I'll be very happy

The R-41 StarChaser and the Twing would also be EXTREMELY cool to have at master privateer
Both of them were used quite abit in the XvT, BoP, and XWA games LucasArts/Totally Games did. Kinda miss the Starchaser.
plus they are more widespread and "privateer-like" an dint he hands of mroe people.

i think too its great that the masses on privateer ships were increased this patch......some, like the Kimo bomber were completely under-mass for their roles. But it still doesnt make up for lack of a real master ship for privateers.

By the way it's also a bit silly that Rebels can't fly the Yt-1300.
Um, hello... Han Solo? /shrug
O.
Han was not a Rebel in the begining, he was a smuggler who got mixed up with the wrong crowd.
Lando and that weird looking guy were pretty Rebels and they were able to fly the Falcon in ROTJ

I agree. Although I didn't pay a credit for any ship in my sig, Privateers really do need a master level fighter.
Black Sun StarViper comes to mind...

Id be completely happy if they would just give the YT1300 one set of fixed forward guns. Would it be as good as a full crew? No. But at least it would be some what usable by yourself.

Yes it wouuld be nice to have a master ship..
HOWEVER all the ships we have are clearly better then the other ships in game.. Come on, the Dune Lizard a level 1 ships, ROCKS all other Factions at level 1 and level 2.. it has dual guns with a massive payload to hold major items. Most players keep the dune lizard till tier 4 when they are forced to upgrade to the tier 4 ship. I think it would be nice, however the tier 4 ship is Equal or better then most master ships.... We have better stuff at lower levels and still have a better ship then most at tier 4.. I have a giant flying tank with 12k damage per shot. Do you really need to compain with that???

You'd constantly die in that thing by anything Tier 3 and above. I, for one, don't want that much decay. I'd rather have a ship that can at least take on Tier 3's solo, especially with the new AI speed changes. You'd never get your recticle anywhere near the target.

LOL!! I am nowa master, and absolutely cannot use any fighters. Only the Rihk bomber, and the Firespray is really nice, but there is no unique privateer fighter.
