Yea I know, but I am still on my lvl 4 exit mission...been haveing problems with the time limit on it solo. I can wait not really in a hurry, I just wanna get into DS one day. I got some friends who will help, we just never seem to get together, or when they are ready I sometimes have had to many beer's 
. The only reason I don't try harder is it just takes to long, time wise to do it solo. I had rather have 3 or 4 buddies with me.

I've flown both the Krayt and the Firespray. I started off with a Krayt and loved that ship. Figured I'd fly it forever since I could never afford the Firespray. Then it turned out I befriended and helped the right person and they gave me one for free I flew it for a while, figuring I would go back to the Krayt because of everything I'd heard in the forums. That was probably 2 months ago, I'm still flying my Firespray. I can just as easily take out anything in the Firespray as I could in the my Krayt, even with one less gun. Thetwo ordinance spots are very nice for helping people vette missions and gunboats.What it finally comes down to though, is thatI just like the feel of the handling a lot more with the Firespray. It's response to how I fly seems a lot sharper and I like that. Speed adjustments seem to come a lot faster as well. It will end up being a personal taste issue for everyone though.

With thoseparts my firespray flies almost exactly like my advanced (not as fast) and my advanced uses the imperial gift engine ( The prenerf 92.2). After droid programs you can fire forever and have unlimited shields. I love it!

I would love a Firespray. Why? Because Its a good ship period!
Im a Bounty Hunter and I loved the ship the first time i saw it! That was May 21, 1980i believe and I was only 9 years old.
If anyone wants to get rid of theirs on Bria Galaxy please give me a tell. If anyone is quitting and jsut wants to give away their stuff please send me a tell on Bria Galaxy.
I have been trying to get the discs and only got 3 of them supposedly. I have been working with a shipwright but he is hardly on and when he is on he is busy. 
I just have no luck at all....

Well mine has top speed of 912 without any programs....15 speed DI.... 1800 shields...700-800 armor....borstel disruptor.... and 4k damage RE ion canon....1045 capacitor....13k reactor (3.8k mass)....and some mediocre booster, thatcombined with engine overload 3 gives top speed of 1400+.
Also there is nothing better than to fly around Tatooine on Firespray scaring the hell out of noobs with missile launches....and sending them tells demanding unconditional surrender or destruction.
And yes when you are MBH/MC firespray is the must.

In the bounty hunter series books, it clames that he nuked it...and his armor protected him somewhat, but his buddy did find him in the desert about 2 hours to death.
That's EU stuff and has been debated back and forth since the movie came out.
According to Lucas in an interview he declares Boba is dead and gone. But he also mentioned that there are 2 worlds to the Star Wars Universe.
1) His
2) EU
but in his world Boba is dead.

"The FireSpray is just a status symbol to show how rich you are." LMAO! Not even, look at the posts here from the pilots that put this thing through it's paces. For an Imperial this is the best possible ship you can get inregards to damage output and mass at Ace.
Not too mention, you don't have to spend 5-6 million to get one, just help the right shipwright (got mine by trading 2 pictures to a buddy shipwright)
"Only people that fly firesprays are Fett wanna-be's!" Jealous much? Lemme tell ya, I've never been much of a Fett-fanboy. But I am a damn good pilot. Got the kill ratio to prove it too.
Seriously, the Firespray is a great ship. If you doubt it fly one. After Ace'ing 2 Imperial Squadrons and 1 Nuetral. More mass than an Oppressor with only one less ordance slot. If you have the right RE'ed components this thing is god in PvP and kicks some major butt in PvP.
Facts are this, it's a good solid ship. It's better than a BWing, better than an Oppressor, and damn near just as good as a Krayt. The Krayt overshadows the Firespray in a couple of area's but not in manuevorability. You show up in your Krayt, I'll show you how good the FireSpray is.
Krayt is the absolute ultimate when it comes to Damage output vs Mass. Those 4 blasters can really be made to pack a punch and it has really good coverage. The Firespray though (with only 2 blaster hardpoints) can be made to do just as much damage with higher agility. My Firespray carries 2 re'ed lvl 10 blasters and 2 spacebomb2 launchers. We're talking about POB size blasters here, over 4k damage each.
So instead of making stupid statements like "They're all Fett-Fanboys, or rich people trying to shove it in our faces..." Think. Think like a pilot. As a pilot (especially Imp) the Firespray offers high mass (more than any other Imp Fighter btw) high damage output, good agility and looks sweet. That doesn't sound like a fanboy to me, sounds like someone who could own you in space though...

Vannanna,
Listen to the ROTJ Commentary on the DVD.
Lucas makes mention of the fact that he wanted to add a scene where Boba gets out of the sarlacc
since NOBODY believes that Boba dies anyway.
He didnt do it beacause of the point made above.
No sense in filming a scene when everyone knows he lives anyways.
HOWEVER.... When filming ROTJ, yes the thought was in his head to KILL Boba off.
At the time Boba was just some disposable bad guy.
(See Also: Darth Maul, General Grevious, Count Dooku - all cool Bad guys who get bumped off. )
Just like anything in the GFFA, it's subject to George's changes.

Meet me in Deep space, I'll be the one in the Firespray with two RE'd tier 10 guns (along with everything else RE'd), and let me know what you think of the 'spray after you pick up the pieces of what's left of your ship. I have 4 masters and 80M space XP, and the 'spray is a fine ship. I like the Krayt too for a different role, but don't put the Spray down.
I'd love to catch you in Deep Space while cruising in my Tie Advanced. I'd fly circles around you and blow you to bits before you could even attempt to face my direction.
actually... not to nitpick. but at half speed the spray can turn like 4X faster than any advanced. I've mock fought and dueled with other ace's (some of them in tie advanced) and to be honest.. they cant even see me. no matter how hard they try to turn, Iturn WAY way way WWAY faster. and at a much slower speed. it sorta feels like i'm standing still while they just franticly fly an orbit around me trying to bring their guns on me. while i spin like a top blasting away. its like flying in a big stationary turret hehe. one that can traverse faster than they can move. I honestly suggest trying a spray, I mean really trying it before anyone thinks ill of it. I flew the tie advanced exclusively until i bought a spray. Theres no way I'd go back to the tie.

FireSpray > Awing > TIE Advanced
Thats for sure! Ask the AWings I shot down! Or, ask the Advanced I shot down! LMAO!
Point is, the Firespray affords some pretty sweet stats as well as mass and damage output.
A good pilot who has spent the time to get all his components re'ed (at the correct and appropriate levels mind you) will do just fine in PvP no matter what ship he's flying, but....
My FireSpray still has better stats than 90% of any ships I've seen on Ahazi in Deep Space. Heh, only person I know with better ships and components than me would be Viduus (who also re'ed 90% of my stuff!)
