The Imperial Pilots and Rebel Pilots have an unfair advantage ove us Freelance Pilots. If an Imperial gets in a tight spot, he can call in a Bomber Strike to help out. A Rebel Pilot can call in a Repair and Resuply Vessel.
What do us Freelancers have?
Nada !
Why can't I, as a Corsec Pilot, cann in a few Corsec Fighters to help me out? Why can't I get a Repair Ship out to the middle of nowhere Like a Reb? Does this sound fair to any of you guys?
I don't want you to lose these nice advantages, but as a Freelance Pilot, I need something kinda like these, and I wouldn't mind paying the responding Ship Captain or Squadron Leader the same I'd have to pay a Space Station for Repairs.
How about it?

lol....when i was leveling privateer with my alt (main was a rebel) i was amazed at all the worth while skills there are.
Ethrust is good for long runs, epulse is great also. Not to mention the best droid commands in the game.

In space repair isn't always all it is cracked up to be. I called it the other day after getting killed by the Vette and after requesting, it just sat there spinning in space and not docking with me.

lol! ok, nobody in thier right mind would ever use in space repair. and you freelancers get pirate trap, pretty similar to bomber strike. only thing reb's use to get out of a tight spot is IFF scramble, and i believe freelancers get it also. stop complaining they're all balanced.

Freelancers have amazing ships and droid commands. Cap to Shield Shunt means you should never get "in a tight spot".
Rebels have very solid ships as well. While not as heavy as the Freelance boats, a Rebel ship can easily get the job done in most situations. Their abilities are pretty bad, and their droid commands absolutely suck, though.
Imperials have tiny ships. Mass management issues will dog them throughout their entire career. They are the only faction without a heavy, 3 gun ship. Their droid commands are exceptional, although Freelance does beat them out because of the presense of Cap to Shield Shunt. To simulate the Imperial motto of "Swarm the $#^* out of them", Imperial pilots get the ability to call in Bomber Strikes. However, more often that not this will fail, and you're left to handle everything on your own anyway.

I wonder if Imps might have more luck with Bomber Strike by calling one below what the pilot's rated for...

Being corsec myself I have to disagree there.
I get 3 of the best droid commands in the game...
1. Cap To shield Shunt
2. Weapon Capacitor Overload
3. Reactor Overload
IFF scramble for tight spots.
The ability to fly a YT1300 (for all you "real" smugglers).
Epulse for when I'm surrounded by annoying tier2's that are slowing my advance on the tier5 target I'm really after.
I can walk right up to any factions vette and spacebomb2 the crap out of it because it's non-agro to me until I fire (I soloe'd 3 at the weekend and never got a single hit on my ship).
