Got mine sitting around. If I manage to log in w/ that toon I'll take a few screenies inside and out tonight and toss 'em up on imagedump if no one beats me to it with another link to it.


Great looking ship though.

I took some screenshots of one from my Nova Courier in Numlock camera mode. Should give you an impression of its size.

I see more Y-8s than I do JSFs and B22s. So yeah, I think it's still around.

That, or they're all ghost ships, and I'm being haunted.

Wow, maybe I need to move to your server.



I can't back out of my driveway without hitting two JSF's and a B-22.



Very very rarely see any Y-8s other than my own, mainly because it's a pain in the arse to actually use. (would KILL for a better fire arc on the lower turret and more pilot visibilty for good situational awareness in relation to the turrets)

I agree about the pilot seat sucking butt. It really should have been one of the two seats up at the front of the ship. That central seat shouldn't even be there or should be replaced with something else, like the ability to access any of the turrets through some kind of "Command Console" system.

As it stands, the seat slightly resembles the "Captain's Chair" that you might see in something like Star Trek, but it doesn't have the Star Wars type controls in front of it you would expect to see since it IS the pilot's seat. That's my one MAJOR gripe with that ship, the Pilot's chair is just wrong in those ways I have outline above.

If I knew where I could host pictures for free I would show you my Y-8 (the Bloated Ego).


My throne (the captains chair) is surrounded with stuff so people can't see me in the undignified squatting position. With a pistol in my hand it looks like I'm manipulating a flight stick.

Go check out either Imagedump or Photobucket. Both are free image hosting sites.

I'd be happy to take some pictures if I could launch mine. But since we're limited to 2 POB ships with items in them, my yacht and YT-1300 are the only two I'll ever be able to use
