Jedi should at least get some kind of cool crap as seen in STAR WARS JEDI STARFIGHTER. Like shields...and all this other cool crap that was in this game. I mean..after all a Jedi doesnt have a special cool name for nothing. Or do they?

Not all Jedi are good Pilots...
Obi-Wan is a rather bad Pilot, even if you don't like it...
And considering when the Jedi Starfighter was built it will be a rather mediocre Combat Craft, not even having a own Hyperdrive... (remember the ring ?)...
And yes Obi-Wan survived... but a Ace Pilot would have sent Fetts little Spacecraft down in smoke...

Ok this whole arguement is MUTE. The force sensitive FORCE VEHICULAR CONTROL line SHOULD effect the ships in space expansion. THIS IS NOT giving JEDI'S special abilities. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A JEDI TO GET THE FORCE SENSITIVE LINES!!!! Having a small increase in acceleration and manuverability for those that chose it would NOT RUIN SPACE! Can anyone give an actual reason why this force sensitive line should NOT work with ships? It's pretty useless if it only works on ground vehicles.

Didnt bother to read the entire thing.....just want to say that not every last Jedi was a great pilot. So it would not make sense to give every Jedi in the game an advantage in space. What Ive read about Mace Windu is that he is a devastating fighter, propably the deadliest man alive.But I haven't read anything about him being an amazing pilot.

Apperently not the deadliest man alive, since he got killed, and if the FORCE SENSITIVE lines add to your ships abilities, that's not all jedis, that only and ANY person who chooses the line

The jedi starfighters are supposed to be rare. There are too many jedi already and if you give them all JSF's then there will be hundreds of them flying around.

The Jedis are not good pilots !!
Anakin and Luke skywalker are good pilots but they are the best jedi of the Galaxie.
For example, Obiwan Kenobi is a bad pilot.
I never heard that Yoda was a great pilot, however he is a great Jedi.
So there is no reason to give piloting abilities to Jedi.
Moreover, JTL is a twitchy game, so please dont give to the Jedis the supremacy of the space. It will be just unfair for all the other players who dont care about Jedi and who dont want to play in Jedi Land...

Jedi figthers?
Who cares? The thing is this.. if they start giving Jedi's any benifits in space, they'll have to start taking penalties (XP) in space. And a Jedi starfighter wold stick out like a sore thumb.
The only thing I was ever concerned about was if they were going to give the Jedi "Space Powers" or some **edit**, but since that's not happening.. whateva

I'm looking to go Jedi myself when pub 10 hits, also going pilot and I have ot say I'm glad to hear Jedi won't be getting force skills. I mean there's enough to consider about any prospective opponents in space to begin with (psst! Devs! We need kill emblems on our fighters!!) Adding FS into the loop would just make things stupid, and I agree that it would be cause for a major jump in Jedi numbers, which kindof kills some of the good feelings you get when you unlock it to join the umpteen masses of Jedi around the server.
Not tryin to rain on anybody's parade, but simply saying that if I get royally owned in space I'd rather it be because my opponent was a better pilot and knew his machine better than me, because that is something I can improve on. Conversly I also want to beat any potential opponent because I was good (or persistent/lucky) because that's what makes it fun and what makes it pay off. I'm looking forwards to JTL because it gives some promise of PvP space battles being intense and lasting experiences, something the ground battles (at least in one on one terms) really arent (unles syou go with doc buffs and comp armor like most) ^^;

yeah the jedi aren't unbalanced enough, lets pile more stuff onto them.
