Didn't see that anyone had posted this yet. Quoted from swg.stratics.com dev chat.


"Brannoc: *Balzan* One of the major problems with JtL is a lack of variety in ship designs, What type of ship can we look forward to seeing and when? Also are there any plans to add the YT-2400 (Dash rendar's Outrider) anytime soon?

Ronda: With over 20 ships to pilot (and customize)... there's a pretty good number of ships to choose from

Ronda: We definitely planning to add new ships in the near future, including new ships with the Rage of the Wookiee expansion

Ronda: like the Jedi Starfighter II and the ARC 170

Ronda: and another POB as well smiles

Ronda: no plans specifically for the YT-2400 yet though..."

Nice! I like the ARC 170. probably a 3-person ship. I think the new POB ship is the mining vessel though.

Not sure what the third person would do, but another 2 person ship is always nice. I just hope these new ships are obtained as some form of "Master Content".

Sweet, I completely missed the underside turret. That could be really cool.

ya it is easy to miss but really if that ship has slightly more mass then my Krayt and has about the same handling. i know one ship that is going to get replaced on my list . i mean just for the look of it i would choose it over my krayt.

hmm it also looks like you will also need to use a droid for it instead of a Flight computer

look at the lego versionyou can see it has a droid in it. Lego ARC 170 now i really can't wait for this Expansion .

Yeah, the Hasbro toy version has the spot for a droid as well. I hope the ship isn't Rebel only as a result. I've really wanted to hear the wharble of a droid behind my Privateer character when I'm cruising through space. The Hasbro toy doesn't have the lower turret though. I wonder if the second turret was just in the concept and was removed when they revised in and added the droid spot. I would make the following clickies, but for some reason my html never works the first time I try it and I have to get to sleep.

It would be great if it was obtainable like the firespray, but had a pilot and 2 gun turrets with gunners.

why would it be rebel? it may be the predecessor of the x-wing, but it's also a pre-empire republic ship which means it's kind-of imperial. maybe it'll be available to both sides.

I wonder if us freelancers will get some new ships. *crosses fingers*

I'm finding these ep3 tie-ins a little cynical. If they wanted to make the SWG franchise a closely associated project with Lucas's three prequels then why didn't they make SWG set during the corresponding time-line period? In fact, given the number of Jedi's we see running around, it would have made more sense to set SWG during the prequel timeline!


Trying to use pre-quel time-line ships in SWG is nice, but as has been said with the Jedi fighter, these ships will be old, and pretty obsellete.


There have been countless JTL posts asking for ships from the SWG part of the time line (ep4-ep5), like the YT-2400. These requests have been disregarded because I suspect SOE want to make money out of associating SWG with a SW film that SWG little to do with. Ergo my initial use of the word "cynical".
