Thread: Privateer Krayt stats???

I think SOME ship in the Privateer arsenal should be a heavy bomber equivalent to maybe the TIE Oppressor.
3 missle slots, and great maneuverability on the Oppressor (compared to Bomber or Bwing that is).
I mean give the Freelancers at least 1 fighter/bomber that has more that 1 missle slot (everything besides the YT has only 1 ord slot), both of the other Factions have effective bombers, but with just 1 ord slot, you can't really be that effective.
Its maneuverability is about the same as an Oppressor yet the Oppressor has a whopping 3 ord slots (yeah they have 1 less projectile slot but i'd rather 2 ord slots over 1 projectile just to be a more effective bomber against stuff like the Corvette on vette runs.
Now im not saying ADD another ship. but maybe modify an existing one to be a more effective bomber.

as of last night, the devs removed the schematic from the SW's, the cert from the pilots, and the ship from the game.
we're hoping they did this just to fix it (floating guns, no droid/flight computer load, etc). there were some problems.
Holy monkey! 8o That scares the beejezus out of me. Hopefully it wont delay that ship from going live to long.

Shouldn't it have 2 missile slots to be comparable to the B-wing with 4 guns and 2 missiles?
Not necissarily. There's more to a ship then just it's weapons loadout. The devs may give it better speed/acc/dec and/or ypr then the bwing. If then new ship has equal ypr and speed to the rih, then the new ship will be awsome.
It may have better speed/acc/dec modifiers, thats a nice tradeoff I can live with. But if we end up with a .8 speed modified ship it won't seem very fair to me. Another poster mentioned that 'Freelancers' don't need heavy bombers in SW lore.... Yea I can agree with the statement, but not the reality. The majority of us Privateers are still participating in Vette runs (heck we have to do one ourselves to Master) so it would be nice to have a dual missile ship.
Maybe having a new type of weapon slot where it took either a Projectile or Ordnance - pilot's hoice would be a compromise.
We already get shafted with the YT and it's 2 Ordnance slots compared to the Faction MP's - do we always need to be second class pilots?
It's bad enough that the Rebels can get 100% repairs when bounced out of Kessel at Dant station (do the repair supply mission there for 100% repairs instead of 75%) and we (freelance) can't at the Dath station as the mission does not exists there. We're already given fewer privelages, how much less should we stand for?
Okay Utess, ill try not to panic.

actually mine reappeared last night (bout 10pm est last night when i hadda get off real quick then log back on) / this morning after logging off then logging back on last night.
seems it was just hiccup in the server yesterday
and yes the floating guns were fixed and so was the droid

The devs have done things like this in the past when adding in things like new weapons, wookiee armor, etc.krayt has a turret too, but i hate the looks
