Um, nope. Nowhere was it in ANH.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see both that and the YT-2000 in game. The 2400 was the model Dash Rendar flew in Shadows of the Empire.

Watch carefully in the tatooine scene....you will see a yt-2400 fly over the city.

capital ships, that would be really sweet. theres been some really good proposals already for them.

I would like to see Dash Rendar's Outrider, a YT-2400, as another ship for neutrals.

I also wish that Headhunters were avaiable to neutral pilots. All the fiction seems to make them a pretty universal basic craft, stinks that my corsec fellow flies around in hutt or black sun ships.

Rumor has it that the YT2400 is already in ROTW but it is not clear which, if any, faction is going to be getting it. (Mabye all) The Ep3 testcenter's .tre files have been the subject of a lot of posts lately and in one of them someone confirmed that the YT2400 is listed as a ship that is going to be added. Along with several other ships including a mercenary cruiser. No models to look at or anything like that yet though.


@awof:
I'm all for putting new ships in but the ones you mention are kind of overpowered. Let try and put in ships that have strengths and weakness's. It may be possible to put a Tie defender in with 6 weapon points but what are going to be it's disadvantages? For everything you add to the ship you should be taking something away as well.

As has been noted, TIE Defender only needs 3 weapon slots since all weapons are paired in JTL. And 2 ordinance IIRC.

TIE Defender and Gunboat should have been there instead of the new ones we got...

We need more MP ships that anyone can own. Should be a whole YT Series, YT1000 (new design) for all Tier 1 pilots... YT1300 for all Tier 2 pilots, YT-2000 (from X-Wing Alliance) for all Tier 3, and YT-2400 for Tier 4. Have a new YT-3000 for all ace pilots.


And Capital Ships.

I really want to see MPS fixed before we add more ships. With every new ship that is added there is more to rebalance and test. We need high mass/reactor drain MPS armor and shields etc, and heavy quad barrel turrets if a YT will ever be able to hold up to the Falcon's reputation.

We have fighter class ships, and everything uses fighter class components right now. I think we'd hear more about the devs' plans but with RotW in the works they don't want to promise something that could be left off a paid expansion for time or delay a major expansion's release date because the expansion code needs to be retested against more base game changes.


I do like the idea of adding more ships, but I really thing the existing types of ships need to be balanced a bit better. MPSs need to be stronger and yet not tank through everything.

Screw balance....What good has balancing brought us? It certianly cheated many pilots out of a good reward engine and loot. I want Havov!!! And please let SWs craft them. They seem to be adding new ships, but only half of them seem to be craftable.

Now that they are including Clone War ships in live, they might as well add the older ones. I want Kenobi's fighter from E2. The N1 is a relic. For those of you who played Rogue Squadron, the Vwing rocks. It even has a cadillac template LOL.
