Five * for the envy factor.
Two freelancer pilots in my posession, and not yet mastered either (slacker, I know). Splitting time between two servers isn't so economical. I -REALLY- need my YT.

I have it crewed all the time, and my crew loves it. They love it so much that I now know what a doc in Coronet must feel like when I log on due to all of the /tells heading my way. And I'm not complaining! The YT is unfreakinbelievably awesome.
isn't that one of the sectors in a system? how original

Is that the name of a sector? Hmm didn't realize it. Oh well. The original name was going to be The Crimson Nova. A bit of history: The Crimson Nova was the first and only BH guild to comission bounties on Jedi. It was druing the early part of the Clone Wars. The bounties were issued by Count Dooku and the Crimson Nova were the only guild to take on the risk of going after the Jedi. This plan changed however when the Rebel MP ship was chritened the Nova. Couldn't very well say "Let's head up in the Nova, my YT." Now could I?

I patrol a ton of forums, threads, and follow jtl ones very closely. It seems that no one is happy with the yt and now the new master ship here, the krayt and no one is happy. I first think that everyone should stop complaining about the yt1300, i mean I have yet to see any people piloting a yt1300 with a crew, i only see people on it by themselves. And honstely, when you go up by yourselves, who really cares if they are in a master ship, its nothing but a hassle. I think that its unfair that people choose their piloting professiong based on the master ship, imo silly. I think that the people here should at least be greatful that they get a master level single passenger cert. Seriously, how fair is it for privateers to have 2 mp ships unless they completely destroy the yt1300 that are in existance, then it would not be such a big deal. But i really must say, with all the talk of limited selection of ships for privateers, its a little unfair because honstly, privateers to no technically appear in movies, they have such little to work with. And what, jtl has been out for like a little over a month and everyone is complaining about the ships, i think that this is a little unfair. Oh, and one more thing, i never see anyone that is a master pilot fly in a master pilot cert, they are sluggish with relatively low handeling.
But, that's just me, sorry if you don't agree.
No hard feelings for the people that will hate everything that i have said

Editted: Re-reading that, I assume your bold means Privateer Ships, right? That's fine, however, neither do TIE Oppressors, TIE Aggressor, or TIE Decimator. SO, I have to say that that point doesn't hold up well.
However, your point regarding people complaining holds up pretty well.. other than a lot of the complaints were in Beta and still haven't been addressed. The YT just finally got a working Lootbox (YAY Devs!!) and Privateers just finally got a Master Level fighter to make up for the Firespray being opened to all factions. (YAY DEVS!!) I personally think the Krayt looks cool, but I also happen to think the Kimo looks pretty cool. The only "Privateer" ship I don't like the looks of is the Dunelizard.
Like several others who have posted, I'd have preferred that the Dev's turn to the many Expanded Universe sources for ships. X-Wing Alliance would have been a great one to use, and since both it and SWG are LucasArts games, I doubt there would be any licensing issues regarding the use of the ships, except maybe the experimental TIES that were created specifically for that game.
But I'll take the ships they give me, because it still gets me up in space flying.

You are right, that was a bad phrase on my part, I guess that I see people (like this) complaining about the krayt and i'm just saying that really the devs don't have much to work from. thanks for pointing that out, i didn't convey that as i meant it. Ive got a question tho, is the kimo a mp ship or a single pass ship? That's what I am most unclear of.

It's a 2-player ship, like the Ywing and the Aggressor. A second person controls a turret.
So, it's not MP in that you can walk around in, and it's not single-player, either.

About neutrals having "iconic" ships, an iconic ship is not worth the space in your datapad if you don't fly it other than to "bank sit", to use the UO term. People complain about being forced to group, they should try and get a flight crew together that can survive 5 minutes, THEN they can complain.
The A-Wing is certainly iconic, but more than a few pilots I know were so shocked by the economy of mass you have touse with it, they went back to X-Wing. One even gave me his chassis. Personally, my reb pilot is liking the A-Wing, my neutral pilot likes the looks of the Kimo, and the Rhyx (i never remember how to spell it) is butt-ugly but is an absolute fortress if you can outfit it properly. I spend hours juggling looted and SW made components for single player ships, so am I going to do that for a ship I may only get to take out on the weekends like the YT?
The firespray should have remained neutral BUT they should have made it directly craftableinstead of the schematic approach that makes it so rare. But most of all, there WILL be other ships, and that's one of thethings I've really liked about SWG since I've been playing it, the new content added all the time. I may not like the looks of the Krayt as a cheap knockoff of the Kimo, but I'll reserve judgement until I fly it.

The Krayt has the Turret. The Kimo actually is a SP ship.
Until this ship was added we had neither a Turret nor a master level Fighter that was Freelance only. They killed two birds with one stone, but some people will never be satisfied.
I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I liked my Kimo. The lack of side views (consoles right beside you) sucked a little, but front viewscreen has the lowest view point I've seen (actually I think it even goes further down than TIEs) on any ship, and with some well timed rolling pretty much negates the need to be able to look left or right.

I've noticed that many pilots forget about that ability to roll (myself included
). It's hard to escape planar thought into a more 3rd-dimensional reactive thought process.
