hey guys. i love to fly. i think its one of my favorite things in the game, but my favorite ship sucks. i want to be able to make a yt1300 with the capabilty of the millenium falcon. i want great manuerverablity, i want great speed, and i want to be able to shoot the damn guns with out having to have people in the ship with me. maybe not the canons, but what abotu the gun in the front. and dont tell me you dont know what im talking abotu cause the guns in the front wereused in return of the jedi. lol. maybe it would be cool if smugglers could slice ships to modify them for better stats.


tell me if you think the yt-1300's could have better stats or not.



May the force be with us all!!

Jadan OUT!!

Combat will never be forced, but War is coming. Are you with the empire, or against them?

The Falcon was the most heavily modified YT-1300 to ever exist. Yours is not. Sorry.

That, Jadan1, is called a starfighter. Go jump in your JSF or B-22 and you can have all that you want all day long.

Run away now.


The guns in the front are missile launchers, so those guns don't actually exist. Your YT-1300 has these missile launchers.


Smugglers can slice ships, its called reverse engineering and Shipwrights get better at it as they climb the trees.


I want my A-Wing to turn better then a heavy outdated ship.

And welcome to 'New player general disapointment in the YT-1300' thread no. 6989849584985948954.3


With game interpretations of film content, one must always be prepared to not expect miracles. Especially with, Starwars games. In fact, many if not the majority of Starwars games, if you discounted the fact that they're Starwars, they'd actually be really terrible games. The only real reason why soem Starwars games outlive their best before end date, is the fact that they're starwars and the fans relate to them a lot. They tend to use their imaginations a lot more than hey would in a different game.


A fine example of this would be Jedi Knight Academy in my oppinion. I know it isn't SWG but the rule can be applied. Apart from the fact that in this game, we have twich based space combat and the ground game, if you removed space and I were a hardcore MMORPG'er, I know I wouldn't be playing SWG because there are way better MMOs out there. Its just that space factor, the starwars factor and my imagination and love for Starwars keeps me playing this even if some of the issues with it and the way thy are('nt?) addressed is appalling.

Odd comments. I *am* a hardcore MMORPG'er, and I'm playing SWG because it's the best *science fiction* MMORPG available. There are better MMOPRG but they are fantasy-based.

Heck I really like my YT-1300. The only thing I am not fond of is the acceleration and deceleration.

I cant wait till Pub 24 so I can load the thing out with new elite comps .. then again there goes all my creds

I fly a Nova. I've heard plenty about how POB's are lousey but you know what? I love my Nova. I prefer flying something that requires a co-operative crew effort. Its a heck of a lot more fun. Of the POB's I agree the YT-1300 is the least attactive from the interior. Only the cockpit and the guners get to see anything but hey, its a YT-1300! Its cool. Get some good RE parts in that puppy and have fun.


And yes, the "guns" in ROTJ are concussion missiles and not lasers. Durring the dogfight around the second Death Star you will notice the Falcon has a crew running around behind Lando and Nien Numb. If you search enough on line you will find deleted sceenes of one of the falcons gunners from that battle. Lando didnot fire the quads.

You can solo in a POB, its all in the missile load out.

/agree but I run out sooo fast.....


With the YT-1300 all you need is someone in #1 cannon and you can rock and roll...


As to the OP stating that they cannot manuever, try compairing a Rihxyrk with a "normal" engine and the YT-1300 with a good engine and at about 50% thrust. You can move quite well, especially if you have gunners as you don't have to get completely lined up with your target, just keep the enemy within their firing arc.

No wonder Han was always broke - he's just like the rest of us. "Hm. I can get better y/p/r stats than this hunk-a-junk...Chewie, where'd you put the checkbook?"
