This was earlier in beta when the trainer selection still appeared in the UI despite ctrl-shift-h.

Oh man where do I start. First of all this game totally rocks. Now for my best stories:
The first was on my 4th or 5th day....I was trying to figure out how to get the top gun on the Ywing to work and was asking fellow Ywing pilots if they knew and finally I found out that you needed another person (this is the regular Ywing not the longprob). So he invites me to jump in his ship and go kill some stuff which we do then the next day I invite him to jump in my ship and go check out deep space. We head over and I go straight for the SD and start targeting componets and it has 100!!!!!! weapons to destroy (YIKES!) so we decide to not attack that and take on some oppresors. Well, we attacked one oppresor and then we where swarmed by 2 more, an Imperial Gunboat, and a decimator. We didnt last long lol.
The second was when I first got my yacht and decided to head to deep space to get some close ups of the SD (this was a neutral toon so I had the option of faction). I pull up close and start taking some pics when out of nowhere 2 PC Awings come in and blast me to pieces. That was fun lol.
The third happened during a party on another yacht. We headed out to deepspace and we where checking out the SD when once again out of nowhere rebel PCs came in and blasted our engines. We where just sitting there nothing we could do but party above the SD. I jumped upto the cockpit and used the weak boosters to get us away which didnt really work to good then evintually we gave up and the leader disbanded so we could all land.
I have not seen a Nova AT ALL so someone needs to post a pic of one at least the outside.

Hold up, you Y-Wing pilots...specifically Mr "My gun won't fire", and Mr "Take a look at my LongProbe".
How does this whole thing work, with the two-seaterness? Is it the Y-Wing that has two seats, the LongProbe, or both? I'm assuming that, whichever craft it is, you can fly it with only one person aboard...but there's an extra weapon with a passenger. Right?
Or is there something freaky goin' on that I'm just not getting?
Edit:
Ok...that first line didn't sound so dirty in my head...

Best time I've had was ina yacht with escorts of 2 decimators and a TIE oppressor, using the yacht as a little capital ship and squadrongroup. We have about 10 peopleonboard the Yacht, pilot gets out of his chair and comes downwith us at the main room there to enjoya musican and hear some of us talk.Most of uswere wearing black tailor made officer uniforms, and the pilots all in pilot uniforms, and talking about how jtlis going to affect us in-game and such.
While we are talking, one of the decimator pilots yells out about Rebel players coming into attack range. Our yacht pilot laughed and said "Wellthe Devs told us this ship is invulnerable. Don't worry, were safe."
Our ship starts to shake wildly so he rushes back up to the command pod to get back at the controls. He yells out a "Oh uh.", and the next minute all 10 of us onboard the yacht are watching it explode into a fire ball
Those Decimator pilots couldnt stop laughing after reading that chat and watching usburn up there. HehIm still laughing from that.

I haven't flown one, but I'm 99% sure the regular Y-Wing is the 2-player ship.
If take the Y-Wing up alone, then you can't fire the top turret. You need to have somebody grouped with you, then launch the ship and they will automatically be put in the turret. All weapons on the Longprobe are usable by the pilot as there is no second player seat.

Ah. Cooly. I'm guessing that the LongProbe is higher spec than the Y-Wing, then? faster, better guns, more manoeuvrable, or something?

Laggy gameplay doesn't only have to do with crappy pc's - I'm playing from South Africa on a dialup, so I'm sure there will be quite some lag

Devs, I have a complaint. Your dang graphics on the JTL site made everything look crappy! YOU LIED THROUGH PICTURES!!!!
Those graphics look amazing. And the Black Sun fighters...wow. I'm not surprised you saved them until the end.
Since the NDA is up, and you guys have all played on Beta, can you answer a few questions for me? I know they've been asked before, but I'll ask them all anyway.
1. How many fighters are you allowed?
2. How customisable is your paintwork? I saw someone's Y-Wing with pretty cool decoration on...do you get to pick patterns?
3. If you change your paintwork, is it permenant, or does it fade?
4. The Nova Courier...what does it look like?
5. What do the new ships fly like - Agressor and Opressor specifically.
Thanks for that in advance.
Now...TH...if you see this, please pass my sentiments onto your collegues:
Congratulations, Devs. If the game is half as good as these guys say, and the screenies show...wow. JTL looks worth the wait. Forget everything bad everyone's said about your dedication to this expansion. It looks like every second you've spent on it has been put to good use. And, from what people are saying, it works, straight off. The ground game may have gotten off to a bad start...but JTL more than makes up for that. The graphics that people are taking screen shots of...they're as good as the movies you've released to us. I'd NEVER have believed we'd get those in game. But it looks like we're getting them. I am genuinely wow'd...and I think there are a lot of gamers that will be too. Everything that I'd have wanted in JTL (all the important stuff, anyway) is there. The graphics look amazing. The interphase looks great. The missions sound superb. Congratulations Devs...you've done yourselves proud.
Now...if I fly through a black hole, will it make my copy of JTL come any faster?
Oh, yeah. Can we get info on the other ships for the Friday Feature? Please? *begs*

1. You are allowed 3 ships. You can have only one multiperson ship furnished at a time (this may have changed, ( but you can have a max of 3 ships at one time)).
2.yes
3. dont know.....
4. The nova cruiser is awesome looking inside it has a few different rooms. however I think the little room with the componets in it should be moved to the other side of the ship. because on the other side of the ship their is a hallway that just dead ends. but I did like the nova better then the decimator.
5. Not sure im a rebel!
