I say ditch the mass system altogether. Ships are limited by their maneuverability/acceleration and number of components they can be fitted with anyway.
Also, only high level pilots can use high level components anyway, so abandoning the mass system wouldn't cause huge problems in that respect either.
That way high level pilots will have access to all ships and be quite competitive (in PVE, at least) instead of having to resort to only the higher level ships because of the mass advantage. I am all for variety and the current system only forces everybody into certain ships, which will make others rare as the disadvantage of say a Z-95 Headhunter or a Scyk is too much because of the mass limits to be really considered as an option for master pilots.





/agree
I and I know other just wanted a interceptor, and have it loaded down.
But with the mass limits, its just not going to compete against a ship with more mass.

To all the people that want the firespray to be in the priviteer prof.








You do all know that they will be adding ships in the future, so you may have more ships than the rebel/imp when you get to master.

I think that their are some balance issues with the ships. Privateer seems shorted on master ships and does not have a low level 2 seater so Hey since I am a Privateer I would like to see these things happen. as Far as the FireSpray I think we no longer have a choice it will be available to all and thats that. I would like to see the Privateers get an additional master ship just to put us on par with what factioned players get. I also think as time progress we will see tweaking of the balance with all ships across the board so I will just kinda ride along as it happens.

Im gonna have to agree, I dont think the imperials or rebals should get the firespray. Imperials would never use this ship, thats obvious. The rebal side is a little harder to convince, but us privateers are lacking a ship and the firespray would be a good reason to stay neutral rather then going Imp or rebal for the extra ships. I like that onlyweget the YT-1300 but the firespray makes no sense being imperial ship.

Well, I think it's stupid that only privateers get to pilot a YT-1300...a ship that, in the movieswas used by the rebelsand played a key role in destroying 2 death stars.

First of all the Firespray can be used by all three factions Masters. Not just privateers.

Second, errr ... privateers are the only class to get to use the YT-1300 .. like in Millenium Falcon?

That holds two passengers, sooooo .... what's the problem?






The YT-1300 only holds 2 passengers?

Nope it holds around 15 or 20, I forget the exact number, but you can only have 2 gunners.

Some people are rationalizing a game imbalance to suit their own agenda.

All 3 factions should be different, but equal in appeal. Being rebel or imperial does not, and should not make you special.

Shipwrights gets parts to the schematic to make one randomly from reverse engineering space loot. You might notice SW buying up space loot, but when they get all the piece they get a limit use schematic for the firespray.



Also saying that the other pilot prof get more ships then the privateers, thats not entirely true. Imps only get TIE's up till tier 3 and even then the interceptor is just like the regular TIEs, with just more mass.
