Lets wait till I get all my product sold on the vendor that contains space resources.... want to make sure I get what I put into those first.

Which is why I was gunning for the Novas as my primary target in Kessel the other weekend. Everyone wants to be the fighter jockeys, not enough people wanna be the tank busters.

Any X-Wing pilot who routinely kills JSFs, Bels and RGIs can do that.
edit:
How are your turret gunners going to hit anything while you're evasive?

Simple, I don't fly the Nova in anything other than mass furballs.Player POBs are royally underestimated and are usually not the top priority in terms of target selection. The result is, they go for the guys in the A-Wings, Advanced X-Wings, and Vaksai first, leaving us alone till we draw too much attention to ourselves, then its evade like crazy till we get a clear shot to boost out and come around.
Works pretty well. Every so often, you'll get a guy with enough guts to brave the hail of purple bolts and you're toast, but more often than not, especially with my Null Bolts being speed capped, the rapid stream of purple haze keeps most pilots unwilling to risk a stray luckshot.
Most of my primary damage is in the missiles. A trio of IR IIs at 5600 each make for a very sorry Imperial with no countermeasures. Even with them, its not a sure bet.

So I noticed. That's the LAST time I'm playing chicken with a Firespray...

On topic, 24 will hit live when its ready hopefully, and not before. I've seen reports the Y-8 still needs a little work still, and SL needs another balance pass.

Well, only half of Pub 24 is on TC right now anyways--TH made a comment to that effect. So it will probably be at least another week.

It would help if the server would stay up long enough to test.
(Currently they've pulled it apart to try and fix it)
I was guessing some day this week when we first got "pre-publish 24" but we had a week with only one update and that wan't even officially announced (we never got the patch notes).
I've no idea now - I'm hoping not this week as we need more time for testing and the devs to code fixes.

I say let it take as long as possible, otherwise it will just go live buggy as hell and you wont like it as much.
