From the latest TC patchnotes:







Added the M22-T "Krayt" Gunship as a neutral master-box gunship. This ship is equipped with a player controlled turret, like the Y-wing and TIE Aggressor.




Rejoice!!

The YT-1300 should not get a forward firing projectile and I am 100% opposed to that.






I completely agree (HOORAY FOR THE KRAYT!!!) but I would like see a change made to the YT-1300. 1 more ordnance hardpoint to level the playing field.

I own a YT. Truthfully, I sincerely tried to find reasons why I would need lockable turrets, and couldn't find one. I am an RP'er, and still couldn't find a substantial reason to have them. For the rare times I get aggro'd, the missiles are plenty of defense. And, even with lockable turrets, heaven forbid you should try to use it offensively without a squadron or crew.


People seem to miss the point that our ships are designed for squadron support. In the Star Wars movies, the books, other games, everywhere you look, ships are designed to complement each other.


Even in RL, all craft are made to support each other.

Naaah I would have the yt1300 as a solo ship, but I'm happy.


but also i agree with u the YT1300 should have is missing ordnance and his loot box








Wow, when was the last time you flew your YT? It has a loot box now, for a couple weeks at least.

I still think the Priveteers should have insted of a fighter or bomber, get us another cargo style ship, we can move around on, make it a lower than master slot ship, and solo piloting, give them resuply runs, and the ability to tow ir salvage, then you got the makeings of some cool space Non combat utility stuff to tie in the Space with ground game...


Priveteers can get missons to not battle pirates and imps and rebs, but salvage, repair, maybe even resupply in space,

some mineing of asteroids, umm, cargo haling, shuttle missons, station side supply runs from ground based area's


not everything needs to be war in space, not everything is war on the ground, not all priveteers are mercs, some are just pilots, with some good skill


another thing could be that the priveteer tree (ship certs), once mastered don't get zeroed out when you go Imp or reb trees, but you might get a fine or mistaken as a pirate if you use a non faction ship on a faction misson



just an idea



maybe make the smuggler usefull in the priveteer tree like mods for your cargo style ships, that give smuggleing some useful fun, running blockades, makeing cargo runs thru kessle supply missons for rebs , and your whole deal is getting your cargo from point a ground point, to the ship, stowing it in a MP style fasion, ( like moveing around on the yaucht), and then naving a corse thru to to the destination and getting paid.

PS

I know I'm not a priveteer, but I was, and regret droping, but if the factions could have like 2 things, master one, then pick up the priveteer or vice versa, i think it could be really fun, RP wise and usefull for the others too, you could run your own lil escort runs al declared for your faction and run thru Kessle as a escort or even Deep space, Protecting or hijacking, supply runs back and forth


full of idea's, and Mountain Dew, bord at work so please forgive my chatter =-)

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 the Firespray and Yacht 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 the SWG ships web 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 have three 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.

Thus giving us Rebels the right to another ship. Hmm... I want to fly a Corvette. Or maybe give Rebels with their l33t modifing skills (Rebels used heavy mods on their ships, if I remember correctly) Yachts with weapons. Then give Rebels and Privs Jedi Starfighters (since the model is supposedly in the game) and we'll be equal. 11 ships for everyone.

I only know of 3 Chiss in game.


The two lurking in the Mos Eisley Cantina and "Captain" Thrawn.

And one on Yavin IV right outside the buidling where the Rebel pilot trainer is.



Also, a kind request, or plea of sorts to fellow privateers:


We got what we wanted. Seriously, we need nothing else as far as ships are concerned. We got the YT. And now we are getting the "Krayt" bomber as a master ship. There's nothing else to ask for except for two things:


(1) An open PvP zone where neutrals can fight as neutrals like it was before and (2) epulse3 back.


That's it. Please, let's stop these threads about lockable guns in the YT, or anything else ship-related.
