Alrighty folks, obviously it's unrealistic to think the Devs could put these in anytime soon but I was just curious what ships you guys would like to see available.


I know one guy (http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board?board.id=lightspeed) wants the "YT-2400" from Shadows of the Empire.


As for me, I want the V-wing but I'm not sure if it's in the time period SWG is set in (a man can dream though :smileywink.


Anyway yeah...pretty simple from there....

I want a Lambda. I don't care if it is the most useless thing in space. I want it.

I'd like to see more yacht type ships. I'd love an old republic cruiser, bought by a civilian and converted to a yacht. Other things like the royal yacht, and some basic "everyday" ships, things like the yt-2400. And of course more of the iconic ships, Imp shuttle, the transport the rebs used at hoth, etc etc

I also think that alliance or imperial pilots should be able to fly privateer ships. I mean, come on. Just because I go into space, doesn't mean I'm there because I want to represent my faction all the time.

Two words, well sort of: TIE Defender.

Bloody forums ate my bloody post...


Freighters of all stripes.

Cloakshape.

Skipray Blastboat.

Freighters.

Star Viper (civvie version only, please).

Freighters.

More Privateer ships (though not necessarily limited; I agree with the notion that at least some neutral ships should be available to all pilots of sufficient rank. After all, most privateers wind up buying ships on the nonmilitary market anyway). These should be either generic, or drawn from organisations other than the Hutts or Black Sun.


Unrealistic dream:

Marauder corvette.

Fighters: I'd love to see the Cloakshape, adding that might even make me take up Privateer with Raano if it went in that tree. And like virtually everyone else with fond memories of TIE Fighter, I'd like to have the TIE Avenger

Freighters/Cap Ships: Not too many existing that I can think of that I'd really like to pilot myself, but the YV-666 or the YT-2000 come to mind as ships I wouldn't mind flying.

Actually, the YT-2000 is probably the only YT design I'd like to spend any significant amount of time in. I'm sorry, but that offset cockpit pod is just a bad design. Lousy visibility, poor spacial awareness ...

Ok, now onto the NPC's.... (basically... we need way WAY more capital ships that actually move and have their own fighter screens. Included in this should be the obvious standards. Lets say we keep it simple....


Imperial Task Force One... Imperial Star Destroyer (or even a Victory-Class ISD) give it a Nebulon frigate escort (mush like the one outside Endor Space Station) some gunboats and a few Lambda's supported by 2-5 squads of NPC intercpeters and TIE's


Rebel Task Force one. Make it the same but different... LOL! Use "Home-One" (the largest Rebel ship during the Endor mission at the end of ROTJ) again, supported by a Nebulon frigate (these were used extensively by both sides in the GCW. Examples are shown by Reb's using it in ESB/ROTJ and Imp's using it in the entire XWing/TIE Series of games) additionally gunboats, medium shuttles, and 2-5 escort squadrons of XWings/Awings.


In addition to all of that, where the heck is the rest of the galaxy? More big fat ugly transports! More small shuttles going about their business. It seems that currently every pilot in the galaxy flies a fighter. Where are the NPC miners? Transports actually travelling on defined space lanes? I would love to see some of this put in.


The current AI follows a flight pattern vs a go from a to b to c type pattern. I'd like to see NPC ships that seemed to actually be "doing something" other than just flying circles around static spawns in space. They need to wander more, find their own way from point A to B....


anyhow... there ya go. You can find info on most of these ships at the following website... http://frankg.dgne.com/swsv/index.shtml




There is no peace, there is anger.
There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side. I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear, but rather I instil it in my enemies. I am the destroyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side. I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me, I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life, in the death of the light.
