By the way, I've got no idea how to figure out the speed acceleration or deceleration anymore. That used to be shown on the engine, too. I suppose you could do a rough estimation, but I can't think of any way to make an exact calculation of it.

The new Ships, are theyobtained from quests in rotw, certainly not made by just any shipwright?I would like to know where the npc's are that allow me to get my hands on heavy tie and royal guard tie. I am working on the y*8 mining quest now... I heard this ship is all bugged...

Dogfighting in ships? I guess you must be from a populated server - i have been a shipwright all thru JTL one of the biggest on my server and had ace a long time, flown all over overt - I have yet to EVER fight another player. I guess i havent spent all day looking for a fight, but who wants to do that, maybe i should become a rebel if i want to fight. I see far more imps.

Plz post abt obtaining imperial new ships TY...

You know whats frustrating? A shipwright friend of mine gets tells all the on how to get the new ships that he cant craft and is then asked for advice on the mission.

The heavy starter ships (Z95, Scyk and Tie/Ln) are crafted by shipwrights while the Royal Tie / Heavy X-Wing are obtained by quests from the kashyyyk space station (definately do a search on a mission guide because there are a few bugs with these quests).

For the JSF and the ARC 170 you should do a forum search on "clone relic"... thats a series of quests where one of them gives them to you.

It is. Think it's style 1 (pictures of which can be found in the third post of the FAQ), but I'm not completely sure of that.

ok I'm a first time poster but this is my take on the whole ship thing. My understanding is that in the books and the movies the TIE's were inferrior to the x-wings so the interceptor and advanced were developed to compete. The A-wings were new technology and they were fast but lightly shielded and armed. The empire relied on numbers rather than ships while the rebellion used their resources more effectively. The smugglers really shouldn't be able to hang with either faction on their own, they aren't military. The smugglers should be using their ships in conjunction with one of the two factions like lando at the battle of endor or han solo at the battle of yavin. I don't think the ROTW ships should overpower the new ships, if they were so great why did they build new crappier ones in the storyline. they should just be cool ships that are fun to fly around in or roleplay with. I think that it's important to realize that these ships were not designed to be used in one on one combat dogfighting. something needs to be done to make people fight battles. for instance we could have faction space stations that are vulnerable at certain times like the ground bases. I remember all my guildies getting together to defend our faction bases and assaulting other imp guild's bases it made for great pvp. they could make it so that only the big multi player ships could effectively hurt the bases and the bases could have turrets. you could either blow the base up from the outside or use a strike team inside to make it self destruct. right now there isn't really a reason to use the big ships which is a shame because they are really cool. I know that I would love to see decimators firing at a rebel station with ties swarming around it defending it and xwings fighting off the ties so that the ywings can bomb the decimators. just my thoughts. I might be right I might be wrong but I just wanted to throw my two cents in
