I have a question about the ship certifications for each Pilot Profession. It seems that when you reach master of either profession, you get two certifications, for Imperial: The Decimator, a multiplayer ship, and the Opressor, an advanced fighting ship (single player). For Rebel: The Nova Courier, a multiplayer ship, and the B-Wing, an advanced fighting ship (single player). and Lastly for the Privateers: The YT-1300 (commonly recognized as the Millennium Falcon), a multiplayer ship, and the Firespray (commonly recognized as the Slave 1), an advanced fighting ship (single player).

Now, those of you reading may recognized two things. 1st, as it seems, When mastering the any of the three pilot professions, you get certifications for Both a Multiplayer ship specific to your faction, and the new single player ship specific to your faction...but wait...

The problem I'm facing, is that the Imps get two ships to themselves, as Do the Rebels, but for some odd reason, they BOTH get certifications for the Firespray (aka the Slave 1) where as the Privateers get the Firespray and YT-1300.

Honestly, for those that are rational, you certainly cannot deny those that will go after the Firespray to be similiar to Our good friend Boba Fett, I'm sure theres a player out there right now, MBH, with mandalorian armor, striving as he might to get the Firespray, to resemble his favorite Star Wars character (which there is nothing wrong in doing so).

My Problem is this: All the Han and Chewy wannabes have to suck it up and choose Privateer to grab the Falcon-like YT-1300, but now, and Fett Wannabe, whether imperial, rebel, or Neutral, can join the pilot faction of his/her choice and not worry about a thing. No matter what you do, there will be Fett look alikes (among others, which again, is fine, we all bare some resemblance to our ideal Star wars characters) but now, ANYONE that wants to own a Firespray can, plus, Privateer is down by one exclusive ship.

So, after all that, my proposal is one of two things (just a proposal), either;

A. Remove the Firespray certifications from both Master Imperial Pilot, and Master Rebel Pilot, making it exclusive to the Master Privateer Profession only.

OR;

B. Add an additional ship certification to the Master Privateer profession that is exclusive to those that achieve Master Privateer (meaning all factions can still get the Firespray)

I would really like to see either of these happen, simply because I think it's fair, and yes, I honestly don't want to see a million Firesprays flying around, and I'm sure I'm not alone, Besides, Boba fett never Joined the empire, nor the rebels, he was hired by the imps sure, but for what loyalties he had (being a BH, loyalties are questionable) I'm sure it was to Jabba more than anyone (I.E. Privateer faction) But that's not really the point anyways. I Just think the Firespray should either be exclusive to the Privateers, or keep it universal, and give the Privateers another exclusive ship (Giving each Master Pilot prof. 3 ship certifications).

And of course you can always do this;

C. Do absolutely nothing and keep everything the same.

which is fine too.

Being my 1st post I also wanted to say I'm a veteran player (yay Sorosuub 3000!) and have been playing for a while.... Also, some how there seem to have been 3 posts made , that are direct copies of this one....dont know how that happened, sorry, any devs that read, feel free to delete the other two...

anyway, thanks for the time. (I also posted again because I didnt know where the edite button was, nor did I feel like looking for it)

Maybe this is being done to make players more inclined to choose a side. Put your neck on the line, choose a side, get more stuff.

More likely it's not by design

If it is by design that's kind of cool...

I would've thought the Firespray schematic (or even the ship itself) would be attained through some deviously hard mission (like the Corvette, for example), and that one of the Black Sun ships (Fighter, Bomber or that other one) would be the 2nd Master cert for Privateer.
