Mine is 212.5 k mass, has two weapon slots and two ammunition slots. Good for looks and RPing bad for anything that involves space dogfights.

erm whats wrong with the Krayt? Arguably the best 1 player gunboat in the player-ship arsenal....same mass and maneuver, just one less ordnance slot, and what would you really need 2 tubes for? Really not worth it going through the trouble of getting a KSE just so you can put on bombs AND i-recs.....rather have the extra blaster any day

Once capital ships hit the scene, I have a feeling multiple tubes and in-flight reloads are gonna be much more popular.
But yeah, KSE is the suxor on flying. I'd rather fly a B-Wing. The hardpoints are placed strangely and don't converge how I'd like them to. It isn't as cool as flying the Firespray in X-Wing Alliance if that helps.

I stopped flying my KSE after I got heavy x-wing. Heavy X is a miniature krayt that handles like an A-wing. KSE 2 missile tubes have single use, and its a vette. But once again with huge profile and not-so-great handling KSE is in no case a perfect ship for the job.

210k mass, 2 gunports, 2 missile ports, crap PYR, big hitbox, handles like a truck in a snowstorm, costs far too much but MAN IT LOOKS COOL!
I'd compare it to the krayt but not as much of a hitbox, good for vette runs and RP'ing if you're a BH tho.

*stands up*
I had my Firespray out once... redeeded it soon after 'cause it's incompatible with my style of playing (it's impossible to target anything when you play with back view), but I imagine it's a nice ship for Freelancers to solo the Corvette due to its 2 missile slots.

Is it me or is the Firespray a rather useless ship?
The Rebels have the B-Wing with ~240k Mass, 4 Weapon ports & 2 Missiles
The Freelance have the krayt with ~210k Mass, 3 Weapon ports & 1 Missle
And the Imperials..well this *may* be of some use to Imperials as we don't really have anything that comes close, Tie Bomber maybe: ~190k Mass, 2 weapon ports & 2 Missiles.
hmmmmm

I have a firespray and I never fly it. It sucks compared to the opressor and I imagine the krayt too (never mastered neut so I dont know). The only faction that benefits benefits from the firespray is rebels cause frankly the B-Wing SUCKS.

i have to agree with that. I was alittle disapointed when i first flew the B-wing. its slow, combersome, bad in dogfights, its more like a flying brick then a ship. i sold my b-wing a long time ago. But i still prefer the Heavy X-wing.
