Has anyone gotten this ship yet? I have yet to see one flying around. Can anyone tell me if they are having fun in it? is the quest for it fun? Decent ship or piece of donkey dung?

What's the certification requirement for this and the Jedi Star Fighter? I'm 3-3-3-2 would I be able to fly?

The Actis (Jedi) fighter, 4-3-3-3 and you have to be Imperial (on ground, space doesn't matter, I know an Imp on ground/neutral in space pilot very well who got her Actis a day or so ahead of me, and flies it) to get the quest; not totally sure on the Arc, though I think it's 4-3-3-3 minimum as well. So...not yet, sorry.

ARC 170 is a tier 4 bird (4,3,3,3).
I have yet to seriously fly mine, not enough firepower unless I can get people to act as gunners.
I love the look of the ship (except the gun graphic that hangs about 4 feet off the wing which they have yet to fix) and it maneuvers like an Awing, unfortunately, only having one pilot controlled gun is a bit undergunned to me for the mass of the ship.
I guess the best way to think of it is as an A-wing with more mass and defensive guns. *shrug*

I got mine two nights ago. I like the way the ship handles and I like the idea of two rear turrets. It makes the ship into a potentially devastating Fighter/Bomber type starship, especially as part of a larger wing of starfighters.
The handling is impressive, most impressive. It feels to be on par with the Z-95(High Mass) in terms of YPR.
At this time, I am not loaded up with a pile of nice hardware to install in it, so my testing of the ship has been limited and until they fix some more of the bugs, regarding Turret operations, I am going to be sitting on mine while collecting better resources and components to build or RE for placement within this ship.
One thing I do like about it, is the unchangeable color of the main body has matches in the primary and secondary color schemes, which allows for an all white ARC-170.
All in all, I am happy with the design and hope to get out with a nice sized group of players in time.
