I'm reasonably sure the TIE Defender was developed sometime after the Battle of Hoth, and also, before the Battle of Endor. Let's face swg reality though, there isn't much *fitting stuff in the time period* happening in swg these days. Just look at the number of Jedis or the number of imperials players, that don't wear stormtrooper armor. That certainly doesn't fit. Anyway, yes you're correct on saying that the Defender is ugly from most angles, but, It would still be an awesome addition to an already awesome game. I also agree that the Virrago (Star Viper) should be added as either a Master Freelance Pilot cert. ship, or as a special reward. Maybe, just to be fair, standard Star Vipers could be available to Freelance Pilots, but, just a heavily modded out Virrago esque ship could be a special reward??

My point isn't that the virago should be in the game (though that would be nice), my point is that the ships now in the game under the name "black sun fighters" shouldn't be in with said title. To call them that is like saying the previously created black sun fighter doesn't matter, and if I worked on the virago for any liscensed project I would be quite insulted. I mean, if they atleast ressembled the virago in some remote way or weren't called black sun fighters I wouldn't have any problem at all, but they just gave them the name "black sun fighters" because a lot of people like the black sun. Other than that they have no connection.

The Black sun ships are brilliant in design. Although the Ixiyen is really big and still lack some mass.
Compared to the xwing its about twice the size, but has lower mass.
And can we please have back our textures on these ships.? As it is now the texture dont stick to the wings.
Good work on the designs. And maybee for the future there will be an interceptor type tier4-master black sun ship?

I think he was aking profession, as in Rebel, Imp, Privateer...
I'm not 100% sure, as my expansion *still* hasn't arrived yet, so I can't get the space data, but I'm 99% sure that the Black Sun ships are just for Privateers. Anyone correct this?

If I ask nicely (aka grovel like a 4yr old trying to get some candy), can we have someone fix the textures on the Black Sun ships? Even those concept art drawings dont match what we have ingame as we dont have any textures at all on the wings.
Nope, none of the Freelance (Imperial too I think) ships take astromechs.
Yeah, that Ixiyen...and Rihkxyrk for that matter...could use a little shrinking in the art department, but I think the mass is okay. What *REALLY* needs some mass is the Kihraxz, that thing would be right about perfect in the 60-75k mass range (maybe a tad smaller scale too). Aww screw it, all the Black Sun ships need more mass, and less profile...there...I said it!

I'd like to know as well, I am currently neutral and was wondering if I had to join a faction to get black sun ships, or if I can just buy and fly them.

Has anyone got any pictures of the variants? I saw a light Black Sun variant just last night and it looked very cool. Definately want toget one of those but don't know which type of variantit would be! It's a shame we can't see what thehull looks like from the deeds...

I am a Privateer Pilot 3-2-2-2. I bought a blueprint from a vendor for a Black Sun Ixiyen Style 4. After I recieved training for Special Crafts I was able to buy the deed from a Chassis Dealer but not able to unpack it, no messages no anything it just does nothing, I traded it to another person with the proper training and he to could do nothing with it. I haven't had any problems with any of the Hutt Fighters or Black Sun ships up until I bought this one for 240K *sigh* sounds like it is bugged. Is anyone else having this problem? How do I fix it?

As far as professions, it doesn't matter what faction you are, you can be a Rebel and be a Imperial Pilot, doesn't sound right does it?
All depends on who you go to starting off for your training i.e. Imperial, Rebel, Privateer. I am a Rebel but I am a Privateer Pilot. I think they messed it up when they did this. If you are an Imperial you should not be able to train as a Rebel Pilot and vice versa. Imperials should only be able to train as Imperial Pilots, Rebels as Rebel Pilots and Neutral Pilots as Privateers. I believe if you are already declared Rebel and you want to be a Imperial Pilot you should have to give up your faction points as a Rebel and go see an Imperial Recruiter and get your 200 faction points required before being able to start as a Imperial Pilot, same for Imp to Reb or Imp to Privateer etc.
