Thread: Eta-Actis II Jedi Starfighter
Have to complete it.
I completed it with on of my alts and gave it to my main.
Must complete Quest to be certed.
I suppose you could make an arguement that that is a bug...but I doubt it.

once you completed the quets with your Alt... your MAIN was able to fly it? is you main a imperial?
if not i have some space work to do with my alt

really??? I can fly it just fine and I ain't no glowy-bat punk. In fact, I never saw anything in the movie that indicated any magic powers necessary to fly it. You sure that you're not basing your assumptions on what some marketing idiot put on the side of a toy box?
I went imp for the tiny bit of time it took me to get it. Worth every cent of the re-defection / promotion cost (thankfully I remembered to buy up all my lacking FP to get back to colonel and delegated it to a friend who then RE-delegated it back to me).
This is the only fighter I have ever loved flying as much as my YT.

At a special ceremony at the Kuat Drive Yards, Kuati Senator Risi Lenoan and Jedi representatives Adi Gallia and Aayla Secura were on hand to officially launch the finished Delta-7 model. Earlier models were field-tested by Jedi Master Adi Gallia.
Though the standard Delta-7 is too small to carry an onboard hyperdrive, and must instead rely on a TransGalMeg Industries booster ring, there does exist a small number of advanced models with an onboard experimental lightspeed engine.During the Clone Wars, ace Jedi pilots like Anakin Skywalker and Saesee Tiin pushed the Delta-7 to its limits. Skywalker constantly tinkered with his starfighter, modifying its systems to optimize performance. Based on his innovations, Kuat Systems Engineering revisited the starfighter design and developed a bold and radical follow-up to the Delta-7 with its Eta-2 Actis interceptor. Anakin Skywalker was the first to pilot this new model, though other Jedi soon followed in his path, including Tiin, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu.
Only a Jedi pilot would be brave enough to fly an Eta-2 into combat. That's not to disparage its capabilities; rather, it is a very advanced high-performance craft that devotes most of its system resources to pure speed and power. It does so at the expense of heavy flight instruments, sensors and shields. A Jedi Knight's attunement to the Force more than compensates for these compromises.
In compressing -- yet increasing -- the performance of the Delta-7 into a frame no bigger than an airspeeder, Kuat engineers faced many challenges. Key among them was overheating. A sophisticated system of pumps, heat sinks and extendable radiator wing panels help draw heat away from the Eta-2's miniature reactor.

It seemed more like Obi Wan's droid was doing most of the flying in the movie.

sounds familiar. What other ships were designed with minimal armor and no shields to increase maneuverability? Hmm....
I don't think Jedi have any real innate abilities as pilots. I think Anakin was a great pilot just because he was a great pilot. Episode III showed that not all Jedi are comfortable in the cockpit. Obi-Wan was barely flying his ship. Remember when he told his droid "No, no. Nothing too fancy." And then there was Plo Koon, who caught a bad one without putting up a fight.
The Eta 2 still has a control stick, and it can be outfitted with armor and shields. We do not fly factory ships in SWG. We all fly custom jobs. I can turn a TIE Advanced into a gunboat from hell, but it was meant to be an interceptor. Using factory specs for a ship does not a good argument make.
