Thread: Soloing in POB ship
it just seems so pointless. if we could at least just fire strightlike in a fighterand when someone else was in there then they could acctually turn the turrets to something that would make me the happiest guy i ever. i only mastered pilot to have a YT-1300 and when i found out i couldn't use it that has been the most disappointing part of this game to me. i wish they could change it to just straight shots. because i'd rather not just sit there and get blasted the whole time while just taking out pathetic little ships that don't standa chance. for instance (not that it matters to any of the Devs) in the books Han could rout the gun controls to the cockpit and shoot he had decresed accuracy (hence just the fireing forward part) but could still be defensive.the same holds true here because if i took it out and things got too hot all i could do is just run because i have no way to fight back.
i apologize for all the useless rambling it's just been the most irritating thing to me and this is the first chance i've had to acctually vent about it on here. thanks.
I did feel disappointed aswell when i first found out you couldn't solo in the YT-1300 etc. However, it is a sh!tload of fun to get a full crew in your ship and you all can work as a team 
make an event out of it with some of your buddies and you will have a blast I'm sure. Especially if you get some of the new POB components 
Keeping a positive attiude is thekey in this game if you're a SW fan anyway
Spato, Muffin peddler!

yea the whole crew thing would probably be fun if i could acctually get a crew (not to mention a compitent crew) all my friends are tier 3 or less i'm the only master pilot in my guild. most i've ever had is myself and one other person,but yea i am having the new components made for me as we speak and maybe i'll have some more fun with it then just will always be crossing my fingers for when i can solo in it cause i don't like depending on other people when its MY ship on the line.
Only the pilot needs to be master, I've taken lower level pilots up on XP runs before, they can't drive but they can do the guns, and I think the co-pilot too, but I'm not 100% on that. It is great fun whith a crew, a few of us have gone to deep space a few times, we did fine against fighters, but then got bold and took on a vette and proptly found ourselves back in Endor space, lol. i can't wait to try it again with the new components
