You get a rebel helmet? When did they change that? As of the Sunday before beta went down you only got the Flight Suit. No, the Bwing is not multi passenger the only MP ships on the rebel side is Ywing (regular version NOT longprob) and the Nova.





If you read JtL threads, you would of seen the imperial helmet and rebel helmet.

But if Freelance cant PvP...whats the point?

Well, do you want to directly oppose the Empire (Rebel) or be a kind of mercenary (Freelance)? Do you want an X-Wing or a YT-1300? I have one char as Rebel and one as Freelance so I didn't have to choose.

Freelance can most certainly PVP. When they enter Kessel or Deep Space, I believe there is an option to choose what side you want to fight for. I don't think there are Freelance space stations to go overt in any of the PVE zones though. Could be mistaken as I never looked.

You've ignored/gutted/abused just about every other profession in the game, while spending most of your time working on Jedi and BH as they related to Jedi. You've basically killed the game for anyone who doesn't want the glowstick. Congratulations.

I would love to get a confirmation regarding the "Freelance PvP option".



But it would be cool,



YT1300 or Nova Courier

I want to pilot both Imp and rebel ships, especially the V-49 which I think is cooler than the YT-1300 which Luke called it a piece of junk. Anyways, so my main is going to be a rebel pilot while my alt will be imperial.

BTW, rebels and imps get two master level ships, one figther and one multi-person ship, while neutrals get only one which is the YT-1300.

True BUT privateers can get the firespray it does require 8 special loot drops and a master shipwright to reverse engineer for the schematic (makes 8 ship blueprints then the schematic poofs).




All pilot professions can get the Firespray - not just Free Lance, so basically Freelance pilots dont get a Master Heavy Fighter like the Imp or Rebs do (B-Wing/Oppressor)


Personally out of the 2, Rebel definately has the best Droid commands and Special abitiles compared to Free Lance.


Freelance Droid abilities are tied to Reactor Output only, which is prettyuseless unless you have a badly designed ship or a bad reactor - while the RebelsDroid abilites are all tied into Shields output(they can boost them -adjust the shield setting forFront/Rear Etc)


Also the Freelance special abitiles are fairly weak as well. The only decent one isPirate trap, but problem is the pirates you spawn attack you as well!! Its only really good for xp or greifing. The Rebel special abilities are alot more useful,(especially considering how long some missions can take),with Rebels you can call a Ammo/Repair ship to rearm and repair you in Space....very Handy


So im my opinionyou should only go Freelance if you want a YT-1300, otherwise its alot better to go Imperial or Rebel (Imp abilities are different to Reb, but just as useful - the droid commands lets you boost power to Weps/Engines and the special ability lets you call in a TIE Bomber Strike)

The problem with freelancer is: u can only get one ship from the movies (beside the firespray)

so u get all this hutt and black sun fighters... they're not bad at all, but their not so starwarsy as all the ties and a,b..x-wings. they all look like they were from wing commander...

so u will probably be leveling up to master privateer, only to get the YT1300.

and IMO the nova courier is much nicer then the yt1300. i've been on both multiperson ships, and it was always a dream of me to fly with a yt1300. but i must say, i liked the nova courier more, because it's interior is bigger and u got some windows for the passengers. the interior of the yt1300 looks more symmetrically and is a lot smaller.

so i'll join the rebel pilots. they got more exciting ships, better droid commands and u can fight this nasty ties


btw u can also do pvp as privateer, u just have to decide for a side before entering the pvp-zones.

greetings

Is the B-wing a multi-passenger ship? I've always been fond of rebel ships, and I like the rebel suit and helmet you get when you master pilot.

Does a freelancer get the black suns helmet, I saw a picture once, it looked like the BH helmet.
