Please, don't make any of the ships be a "CDEF"... many people on here seem to think ofthe Z-95 as the "CDEF" ship, and it's begining to tick me off. The Z-95 is a great fighter and I would hate to see it degraded to a junk starter craft. I know we can modify our craft, but if the starting craft is really as bad as a CDEF weapon, there's not likely anything that we could do to it that would make it a decent craft. This isn't a plea just for the Z-95, I for one would like to see the skies filled with all of the ships, rather than the top 2 or 3. We've already seen the Composite Clone Army, I'd rather not see the same thing in space.
I see what you're saying. But, in effect, your asking for all ship to be basically the same. While it would make for more diversity of ships in space, it defeats the purpose of a skill tree with ship certifications. If the Z-95 was "basically" as good as an A-Wing, what would be the point of gaining pilot xp to get the A-Wing cert.?
Unless you made every ship have the exactly the same, there will always be one ship that's better than the rest. There is no way around that. The best you can do is make certain ships better in certain situations. Not sure how the Devs plan to pull this off, but I'm looking forward to it.

Here is my understanding:
The starter ships will not be upgradeable and not very powerful. However, there has been no comment that the starter ship will not also be a player craftable ship.
So there probably will be a starter
Tie
Z-95
maybe even Hutt light fighter.
These ships will suck and not be upgradeable. However, you can go buy a player made Tie, Z-95.... that will be more powerful and upgradeable.

Not nessicarily. Sure, an stockA-wing should be faster than a stock Z-95 or TIE Fighter. However when you get down to the modifications, all I'm saying is that with the right ones a Z-95 or what have you isn't automatically still considered cannon fodder. I know all about the twitch arguement, and without sounding too cocky, I'm a pretty good pilot.
I do not want all the ships to be the same, by any means, I just don't want people to automatically see the lower level fighters as fodder that don't stand a chance no matter what the pilots skill.

Im sorry but the only thing worse than a z-95 is a y-wing, so yes i would rather have the z-95 as a crafted ship and a y-wing as a starter lol
See what I mean? It's already thought of as a junker...
No offense DarkArbiter, you're just handy
