just like the imp 2-seater and the rebel 2-seater?
so now, i guess the count is 11 imp, 10 privateer, and 9 rebel (counting the yacht and firespray)
an interesting thing to note is that the imps get 7 fighters (i guess someone whould have to count the first 3 TIE variants, even though they are practically the same) the privateers get 6 fighters, and the rebels get 5.
now that you got the krayt, i guess we don't need to see anymore of these posts.

Lando, before Han had the Falcon, rigged a set up where he could fire one turret with low accuracy from the cockpit - if I recall correctly.
If the Developers had watched the films, they would be able to witness the Millenium Falcon firing lasers out of a gun on the front of the ship in RETURN OF THE JEDI.
There's no indication that anyone's in the turrets on the Falcon in the climax, although it seems likely.
Still, the ship has one gun on the front.

Noooooo, the Millenium Falcon had a gun on the front, but very likely the run of the mill Corellian Engineering YT-1300's (like we get in the game) did not.

I think they should do both. I don't want to ask for much, maybe a small turret above the cockpit pilots can fire. As for another master Privateer ship, if they do it Imps and Rebs will go completely ape sh*t about how we got one, then WE'LL begin complaining about how terrible it is (like rebels complaining about how the B-Wing is bad)... but, as I said before.. Wouldn't mind a Chiss Clawcraft..
They're giving Neutrals a 2-seater master ship already. Haven't you read the TC patch notes?

Like I said, maybe ask the Devs why you can find Chiss as NPC's. Yes, I'm sure a few players have seen them before as well, there are blue skinned, red eyed chiss NPC's in the game.
yeh, they are in cantinas. but it doesn't mean that they are selling their technology to be mass produced. For all anyone knows, they are just another weird alien who is just hanging in a cantina.
You mean Grand AdmiralThrawn or Captain Thrawn should I say?

Thrawn's an imp. So it's safe to assume thrawn will travel in imp shuttles. The chiss he is speaking of is the chiss male and female in either the mos eisley cantina or the bestine cantina (can't remember which)
it really is a stupid argument, the chiss clawcraft wasn't developed until like 10 years after ROTJ, so it's not even in production, not to mention the chiss guard their secrets like a fat woman guards twinkies, so only people flying them would be chiss.

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.

you need to recount.
Imperials have: TIE light duty, TIE fighter, TIE I/N, TIE Interceptor, TIE bomber, TIE Aggressor, TIE Advanced, TIE Opressor, then they have the firespray, Decimator and the Yacht.
11 total ships
the rebels have: z-95, y-wing, y-wing longprobe, x-wing, a-wing, b-wing then the Firespray, Nova, and yacht.
9 total ships.
Neutrals consist of: syck, dunelizard, kimogilia, kihraxz, ixiyen, ryhyzxzahfaknfkda'fihjaodgnfaskj(whatever), then the yt-1300 the firesrpay and the yacht.
9 total ships.
And now we get the Krayt at master, but since its a two-seat I bet it won't be spectacular.
