Nice ships.
This part caught my attention.
Episode III Jedi Starfighter/Eta-2 Actis Interceptor
The Eta-2 Actis Interceptor, also referred to as the "Jedi Starfighter," is barely larger than the landspeeder that Luke Skywalker used to travel the face of Tatooine in the original Star Wars motion picture. The small, extremely agile ship is surprisingly well armed, despite its relatively tiny frame. However, its weapon systems can't sustain long periods of rapid fire. Then again, for those pilots who use the Force to stay on target, this shouldn't be a problem.

Eww.. i glossed over the jedi part.
>> is barely larger than the landspeeder
As if A wings weren't hard enough to hit.
>> use the Force to stay on target,
So in other words, be a jedi and you get the advantage of being the size of a gnat in space combat, which will make you extremly hard to hit, thereby giving a distinct advantage over other players?
If so.... ill start stoking my flamethrower now so its primed and ready to go when this goes live
Edit:
On the other hand, if they lose XP in space on death like ground, i guess it balances out somewhat - but id be gunning for them specifically from then on out though.

I hope that most of the ep3 ships are for everyone. But would it be better if it was a vet reward were we choose one or have it like the firespray where you have to get all those pieces. I personally hope it would be a sort of quest. You could meet a veteran of the clone wars and he gives you his old ship after you do a few missions.

Wow, pretty cool. 
Just wish they would've made some ships that looked different instead of "modified" versions of existing ones.

I don't think they'll be vet rewards. If they were, I think they would have stated it. Form the moment the Sorosuub was announced, they always said it was a vet reward. To allow an article like this one ot be posted with pretty pics and all, then turn around and say "Oh, well, they're vet rewards," would be cruel even for SOE.
Obviously the Imp ships and Reb ships are for their respective sides. The others I believe will be for neutrals. I mean, the Imps get 3 ships, the Rebs get three (if the V-wing or more likely B-Wing (mod) is real), and then the other 3 would be for neutrals. THat way, everyone gets 3 new toys to play with.
Also, I really hope the comment about the "using the force to stay on target" was just a metaphor. If not, I'm going to angry, because I kinda like the Jedi starfighter (but I like the ARC much better).

I love the new ARC ship in a matter of fact i wish i could be a ARC trooper in the game, but then again, i dont want to be a clone. I hope the the ARC has some good weapons and has to have 3 people in it to work cuz that is how many you need in the movie and the clone wars as seen on cartoonnetwork.

Eh, I'm hoping the ACR, Jedistarfighter, ect. will be for all factions. Or atleast Rebel/privateer.
I'd like to see more variety for the Rebel fighters. Not just the same X-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing and Y-Wing...

With my luck the Jedi Starfighter will be for jedi only...

Well, Zeon, while I agree it would be nice to have ships that cross all factions, I doubt SOE will do it. If they were, then the Z-95 would also be usable by all factions. I doubt we will see it, but I do agree it would be nice.
