You guys have issues. That is one sweet ship. Mass is the same as a FS, an extra gun over the FS and a turret. (missiles are a waste anyways).
Pop in RO4, EO3, WO3 and CO4 and you have a mean ship.
Stats aside, I have always liked the Kimo, and this ship is the next step up. I like it way better than any of the Black Sun ships. This will have a spot in my datapad for sure.
You guys that are complaining would find something to complain about no matter what it was. You have not even flown it yet and you are complaining. *rolls eyes*
This ship is a gunboat. Don't like that? Get a dune.

I couldnt agree more. Im tottally stoked to have this new ship and i salute the devs for acting so quickly to fix this much needed Privateer void. I dont like the appearance of the Krayt at all but i can get past that. Now im getting ready to weather the wave of NERF cries from the envious reb and imp pilots once they see the stats on this beast. Which will be sad because privateers deserve and need a ship with exactly this kind of loadout and stats. IMHO. Good job SOE, just dont cave into the whinners!Keep this ship as is stat-wise

I gotta tell you, concerning this new ship as an Imp I'm a bit jealous.

First off the mass is nice and it has some nice slots too. Compare it to my Aggresor... You have more mass, more weapon slots, and the best thing about it is that the turret is on top! Currently the gunners on the YWing or the Aggresor end up getting motion sickness a lot more than they end up getting rounds on target. Tailgunners were a good idea but honestly, these ships have to maneuvor so much most tailgunners are just along for the ride. In this new ship the gunner position is sooooo much better.

Also, you can do what I do with my aggresor, opt out of mounting a turret weapon and use that mass for something else. The big complaint is it looks like a stretched out Kimogila.. well.. ok, it may be a bit ugly, but it's definately an extremely viable ship.

EDIT: I agree it should be a tier 4 ship, but then I would also have to say to move one of your Tier 4's to Tier 5. Nuetrals have the best ships in-game in my opinion right now.

Get the Shaft again? So giving you all those new droid commands and the best 2 man ship in the game is getting shafted? Man, I want to get shafted like that!

p.s. "Funny no one seeme to care that the only single player ship we have with more than one missle launcher is the Firespray." Missles are for NPCs to use. Real pilots dogfight.

Added the M22-T "Krayt" Gunship as a neutral master-box gunship. This ship is equipped with a player controlled turret, like the Y-wing and TIE Aggressor.

Maybe Im the only one who didnt want ANOTHER master level multiplayer ship. So pissed I cant even write a decent flame.

FYI handles better than a Ryk.

Is Faster (.92 speed)

Has same load out with 210K mass (20K more)

AND THEN add to it a turret, that cover the whole 180 deg. from the top of the ship.

So replace the Ryk, you get a faster more manuverable ship with 20K more mass and leave the turret gun open

I was also against giving the master level ship and the multuplayer version as well. However, it seems like they made a great compromise. This ship works well with or without the second player. Personally, I think we are getting the best of both worlds. A great ship. And the option to take a second player along with a small weapon swap. Rather than the need to completely re-deed the ship (like the rebels have to do for the y-wing and longprobe variants).

Im not even gonna waist my time with it, ill stick with the rihkzerk (sp). The higher mass will barely cover the extra slot for the turrent gun, and we lose a forward gun in the process. So while solo, I got a ship thats not as good as my teir 4. To those that like it, more power to ya, Im glad the devs gave us somthing, but if you think about it, its no better than a teir 4.

Errm, yes it is, it has the same handling stats as the Rix, the same weapon hardpoint for the pilot(3p/1m) and it throws in an extra 20k mass, which you can either use for a turret weapon or for extra componants and just fly solo. There is nothing bad about this ship, and to be honest, anyone who says otherwise is just desperate for a reason to whine.

All I can say is I actually love the Krayt. Its so ugly its cute. I know..its a streched out Kimogilla, and I do think think it looks like a cockroach (ROACHFIGHTER!!!!!) but I LOVE this thing. The 20k extra mass alone is good enough for me. Granted, the wing mounted guns convergance isoff...and dev's...if your reading....let me paint the wings and I will be a happy pilot, but despite this the Krayt is in my datapad to stay.

It may be ugly, but it's not as ugly as the Rihkxyrk :-p

Can't wait untill I master Privateer - I was going to drop it after mastering and become a Rebel Pilot, but I may wait for a bit and see how she flies :-)
If it handles better than the Rihk with more mass and the same solo weapon config, it's going to be great !!

I agree. I love my Krayt. I thought when I first saw it that it was ugly, but then I painted it and I really like the texture and paints on this ship. Plus I rock hard with this baby. No gunner needed I just got a hot enging with great YPR and go to town. However when I do have a gunner it's just as fun. I aboslutley LOVE it. Of course I went with Texture Style 1 and Black wings and yellow body and named it "Bumble Z" I love my little Bumble Z!
