People are annoyed because they feel (rightly, I think) that the ground game should not effect the space game. Do Master Pilots get Master Pilot Pistol certs that no one else gets? Nope. So why should Jedi - or, for that matter, any ground prof - get any space certs? Because they're "Jedi?" If that's all you can give as an argument then you've seriously got to reconsider your perspective on the game.
Some people have been saying things ilke "why aren't you annoyed that Rebels can't fly Imperial craft?" etc etc etc. That is, hands down, the stupidest argument you can give. It's like saying, "why aren't you complaining that riflemen can't use carbines?" Obviously a REBEL pilot is going to fly REBEL ships. However, why should a Jedi be the only one to use a ship, even if it is a Jedi ship? There is no Jedi Pilot class, so why should there be a Jedi pilot cert? Within the context of the system that has been in place since launch, a Jedi-only starfighter makes no sense and, more then anything else, is an example of SOE pandering to the Jedi population.
When you take players who have been here since launch and who never even considered becoming a Jedi merely because they didn't want to watch as Jedi grinders get perk after perk after perk, you need to understand that they're going to feel, justifiably, annoyed. Begging for another special perk that completely throws the system up to this point out the door is not going to go over well.
Eventually this game duality will disapear.
The devs havesaid it in the past and just recently that they want to integrate space and the ground game iin the comming months/year.
It makes sense to me to makea Jedi or force sensitive only ship and I bet a lot of bounty hunters wouldn't be upset about it either when theyallowed to hunt bounties in space... It would make it a lot easier to pick out your Mark if you knew what ship they were flying in.
As far as balance goes we have to wait and see.
My guess is it will lack offensive power and it's best defense will be it's maneuverability but easier to hit then an Awing.

I honestly could care less if the jedi get a ship no one else can get. Fine with me,as long as it dosent have some huge advantage over all the other ships. And if it does, it should have a draw back of haveing to go back to where ever it left its hyper drive engine to pick it up before going to another system. I personally think the thing is dorky lookin, I wouldent want one anyways, but to each his own.

The B-wing and A-wing fighter arent in production for almost 2 more years in the current time line so you could say the rebels are getting special treatment by giving them those things.
The fact your acting like a fool comparing force run 3 etc shows that you simply have a deep seated hatred for jedi. I dont see How having 1 more ship option in space is gonna bother your gameplay or anyone elses. Hell i can fly up in space for 8 hours and im lucky to ever see another player let alone worry about what ship he is flying.
Actually the A-wing was in the battle of yavin, so it was in this timeline. The b-wing however was not in production yet.
The A-wing was not in the battle of Yavin.
