I want to petition that our rebel nova courior be changed to the rebel assualt gunboat style. The nova isn't nearly as cool as the decimator and doesn't have the sweet styling and feel of the YT-1300 transport ship. I think we need some style with the nova courior being transformed into a rebel assualt gunboat we would have only 2 guns mounted front and below but we would have the sleek look of the assault gun boat

A newrebel gunboat, eh?
I'm all in favor of new ship types (yes, including the Lambada). Certainly, there should be more mutli-player ships available. However, as a staunch supporter of the Empire... would It be too much to ask for more Star Destroyers out there?

I love my Nova Cruiser. It's my second favorite MP ship (my first favorite being the SoroSuub).
But I would like to see more ships added into the game...

The Nova is meant to fit into the Rebels image of using simple-designed, souped-up older craft. This is apparent in the Gallofree Yards ships they use, and this idea is mirrored in the Nova.
Ask for multiplayer gunboats if you want these, sure, but the Nova was designed to look 'Rebel' - not Military like the Empire.

My Nova is my cosy apartment in the sky, i do however use it for full blown assualts but feel imps make fun of my ships look, it looks like a potato with two spuds either end which isnt exactly imtimidatingand doesnt feel like i have the power despite the four launchers full of 28k damage space bombs, they need to make either a new reb mp ship or change the Novas look.

true maybe they should just add in the rebel assualt gun boat and the lambda shuttle but as for the ISD that I think is over kill . You give that to an imp I want a mobile space station for myself

I think its a little late in the game to be making changes to ships like this.
So much as mass change requires you to purchase a new chassis ya know.

The Nova Courier doesn't look that threatening because it's not supposed to be. Read the fluff; it's a freighter. It's supposed to carry cargo from point A to point B. Of course, that's not practical in JTL, so for us it's designed for killing. But the ship design still speaks of it's freighter roots.

and???? the YT-1300 is also a Frighter, I'm a Smuggler (on the ground) so don't make me Post again and again the problem of cargo in JTL!!! we all know that JTL is just a Shoot'em up addon for SWG.

Yeah...I'm really not sure what you're trying to say. I was only talking about how the Nova Courier looked, based on what it's designed to do in the fluff. Sorry if I was misunderstood...

/yawn these 1 star bandits are really becoming bothersome. Anyways yes the nova courior has its roots as a freighter and yes it does serve as a fighter what i'm saying is just like the devs added in the new "Krayt" class ship I say allow the rebels to get access to the rebel assualt ship but make it a challenge like we have to complete a certain mission that only master pilots can do and once we get it we can hand a schematic over to a shipwright to build us one same goes for the lambda class shuttle that thing is very memorable and I believe an imp would want to have one. The assualt gun boat scenario is kewl cause I like the look and feel of the ship and if you couple it with a mission it will make it more of an interesting note. Have it so you can only complete the mission twice like the scythe quest and you can't reset it and the schematic yields 1 use. Also in order to make this fair I say remove the
YT-1300 transport thing from master rebel and imperial pilots and give it to the neutral people so it has more of a smuggler feel to it.
