What certifications will be required to pilot the new starships, especially the Episode 3 ones?

The new Episode III ships in the Rage of the Wookiees – Anakin’s Starfighter, Grievous’s Starfighter and the ARC-170 will not be faction specific and the required pilot certification for all the expansion ships will be tier 4.

From TheForce.net

Well nice to hear something about who will be able to fly them but I'm kinda hoping they don't make these ships very good now. Don't want to see Imperial, Rebel and Freelance pilots all flying around in the same ships.

Yes. I would hate to have clone wars in space.

Not sure how much sense it makes for these to be not faction specific but...it's a niggling thing. And I agree with the sentiment that they shouldn't be superior to what we have now. Cosmetic changes, fine, but giving 'em a huge edge in performance will make them omnipresent when they really shouldn't be. In fact, given how ancient these designs are they should be markedly inferior. But, bet you anything, they'll be the best ship profiles in the game because handing out goodies with combat advantages moves product for the min/maxers. They thought cybernetics with combat adds was a bright idea too...

Well at least the cybernetics have a penalty againts armor so there is a trade off for getting them. If the jedi starfighter is as small as it looks and has good stats it's going to become the ship all freelancers want for PvP, which isn't too bad if it isn't better then the a-wing and tie advanced or interceptors ... if it is then everyone will want them. Oh well, not to long till we find out.

Just at a guess...I'd bet the ARC-170 will handle something like a Y-wing, with similar mass and two gunners instead of one. It will have a *big* profile, though, which will probably minimize its use in PvP.


Don't know much about the Grevious fighter, and don't really care right now. J/k, but I don't know enough to make a judgement.


I'm guessing the Jedi fighter will have 50k mass or so...and it'll be seen in PvP because of its small size. I don't think it'll be uber, though.

Everyone's favorite is back safe and sound from North Carolina.


but a word of advice, don't stay at a Hilton hotel. That was one of the most uncomfortable beds i've ever been in.

good to be back.



last night i got back into the swing of SWG again. went out hunting some of that great Endor Insect Meat last night with 2 buddies. ended up with a 2 night total of around 125k of that meat.


Now we must just wait and see if I can get the Tailor Corr position, then i will be declaring Order 67, declaring all H--tpants to be the enemy of all civilized beings.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Why didn't you complain to the desk clerk that their towels were of such poor quality that they're not even worth stealing? It's an outrage!
