Hopefully some of the good folks in this forum will have acquired one of these machines within a couple of days, and can provide an answer. My question is, astetic or RP considerations aside, why should I mothball my VT-49 Decimator (you could just as easily substitute the Nova or YT-1300) in favor of the YT-2400?

In other words, does anyone know if the basic chassis for the -2400 differs from the other Master level POB ships? More mass (like that's necessary), more gun hardpoints (where would they go?), or more launcher slots?

I'm just looking for a reason. I have no problem with anyone who wants to fly one simply because it looks different, or they feel it lets them RP better, and I'm always in favor of increased diversity in space. I'm just curious about differences in stats.

It's all about looking cool. Why do you think Leaph still clings to that rickety old A-wing?

However, I'm afraid the YT-2400 is most certainly NOT cool. Why? Well basically, it isn't because I said so . Now a Nova Courier is cool. Why I hear you ask? Well mainly because it 1. Looks terrible 2. Looks terrible and 3. I fly one

I want a YT-2400 because I'd feel bad about converting the Starwind into an uber gunship--it's a smuggler ship, not a warship. The YT-2400 is going be my gunship...

And yeah, I like the 2400's look better than the old 1300. Plus, whenever I'm in a 1300, I just feel cheesy. "Oooo, I'm a Han Solo wannabe!" He was a lousy smuggler--was forced to dump his cargo, wound up frozen in carbonite because he couldn't repay his debt, couldn't evade the bounty hunter that came after him--c'mon, he sucked!

My character is a pilot and officer of the rebel navy who has a civilian job too, that requires to be seem neutral. That is a sufficient reason to be happy to have a neutral looking POB ship .

see thats why i smuggle in my low profile Y-8, Everyone just sees a Corellian Mining Corp ship and thinks nothing of it, just another ore hauler.
