Profession Pilots
- 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.

What are you complaining about? This ship is great without a second pilot, it is merely an optional add on. You don't need the second pilot to be effective, nor will you be in-effective without one.
Quit crying and be thankful.

So this is going live tomorrow?
I for one can't wait to get behind the cockpit of one.
I should add that to be mad about this is ridiculous. Even without a buddy manning the turret, this ship is identical to the Rihkxyrk--only with 20K more mass. There's no denying it's going to be a very useful ship alone or with a gunner.

How can you be annoyed at getting a ship you can take a friend out in to have fun with or is just fun to play in solo?

I'm pretty sure you are the only one. I've seen a lot of people gripe about the design, but none dumb enough to complain about the fact that freelancer made it apparent we needed a Master Level fighter, and got one.

By the way, does anyone have a link to the announcement for this? The Krayt's been on TC for a while, but this is the first I've heard of it having a schedule for going live.

Common mate, this is a damn good ship, for us Blaster-jockeys, its a better choice than either the Rebel OR Imperial Master Fighters: the B-Wing manuvers like a cow on valium and the Oppressor has half the amount of Blaster hardpoints and 40k less mass.

Okay I guess I am the only one.
Funny no one seems to care that the only single player ship we have with more than one missile launcher is the Firespray. At anywhere from several million on up depending on your server thats not really a ship you can just go have fun with. I have one and its great for helping people on corvettesbut everytime you blow up you can hear the cash register ring.
We also already have two different classes of ships that can mount 3 guns. Turrets are mostly useless, and for multiplayer I take people up in my YT. So I dont see how this ship adds anything other than another multiplayer option. (and personally Id much rather have a wingman than a turret) If you fly it solo it is exactly the same loadout as the tier4 ships but with 20k more mass.
BTW I just saw a picture of it, looks a lot like a kimo.
For those who dont know the stats, its 210k mass 3+1 (2p turret) guns,1 missile launcher. Havent seen any numbers on handling.

What are the variants going to look like? Possibly something unlike a slug with a hangover?

Yeah, she's a real beauty, that one. With it's classic "cigar with wings" lines.

A true marvel of creativity.
I want that ship like I want a shotgun-blast to the face.

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.

This ship solo handles really well.
I like it. Sure I would have liked something that wasn't a modified lower tier ship. But at least we got something.
I got a good idea,
Devs take this ship out and leave us with nothing.
Personally I'm happy we at least got something. Maybe the design team was smoking crack or for that matter lacking in good design skills at the time, but at least we got something.
On a side note, I would however like to b][tch slap the manager that approved this design. None the less, thx for giving us a new ship.
