Thread: FIrespray not up to eu( please read tomo)
He's more or less in the Firespray though... I think we had a pretty big thread a while back where we all sort of agreed it'd be nice to get it to be a PoB with canonical (more or less) interior. 
Of course, the odds of that are...
Also, from what I know of the development process for new ships and POBs in particular--which isn't a huge amount, granted--a change like this would take a ton of work. Enough so that, cool as the end result may be, it'd probably be much cooler to have spent all those man hours elsewhere.
The canonical argument's pretty interesting, though--although from the discussion here, it sounds kinda murky as to how Firesprays are "supposed" to operate.
Almost all jedi except Yoda and Obiwan are dead.... So we should delete all jedi characters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not exactly true....
In Ep 3 Obi-Wan Asks Yoda if any other Jedi made it back...
Yodareplies: "none have reported in. They have either been killed or have gone into hiding".
Not all tje Jedi were killed at all, even the books state that there were several Jedi Safe havens.
Although you might not think the books are relevent to George Lucas's Star Wars Universe, the books are "very releven to this game!!!
Therefore it goes without saying, that there are still many, many, Jedi hanging round.

hmm
. Maybe he should not have aced in a freelancer career to learn more about piloting ?

Maybe he did it on purpose? ram the shield array to take it out? I'm still reading the boba fett EU stories so I havent got this far yet.

Probably just ran turrets in an Ace ship, and had his friends blow the vette for him.
But really, any argument regarding the EU can get silly really fast. You're talking about a lot of different authors, and "authorized" or not, we're picking apart descriptions sentence by sentence, in a way they were never meant to be analyzed. Not to mention, the great and might Lucas (sic) threw out most of the EU anyhow.

and like I said, the ship(s) owned by Fett were heavily modified. whatever you saw in the movies is in no way guaranteed to be what was standard for a regular Firespray
The same can be said about TIE's, but in the REVERSE...so why can we modify what in the movies are standard factory-produced ships into insane machines of distruction(like the TIE Bomber I use, hehe), but not have the ability to heavily modify what were said FREQUENTLY to be heavily modified(like the Firespray class and the YT ship classes)?

Fact: Slave 1 and Slave 2 were completely different ships
Story: Jango Fett and Boba Fett flew Slave 1 almost exclusively but for a short time Boba lost Slave 1, if I remember rightly itwaseitherimpounded by certain planetary autherities or under repair for a time, he did manage to snap a wing off flying into a wall,so while it was unavailable Boba Fettacquired a replacement ship and called it Slave 2, if you read the Dark Horse Graphic Novel series Dark Empire you will see all of this, he then managed to run Slave 2 into a planetary shield array protecting the reborn Emperor's Galaxy Gun, it managed to survive due to it's robust construction and shield array but was pretty wrecked! He then obviously went back and picked up Slave 1 again.
that explain it - thanks for that info mate.
I dont see any reason why the firespray cant be converted into a pob ship, and by that i just mean give the ship an interior only, i still think the pilot should be able to fire all weapons and operate the flight computer from the captains chair, although since it doesnt have a turret at the moment perhaps they could add that for multiplayer.
