Slave 1 was a heavily modified Firespray Police ship. Very few of them were produced. They were obsolete when they hit the assembly line.

Correct. Thats why when this ship WAS seen, it was almost always referd to a Fett's ship.

Personally I like to blend into a crowd,until the chit hits the fan and it's time to wip out the super quad laser cannons ,proton torpedoes and see what that heavely modified hyperdrive will do. No give mea sleeper anyday. Would you want to race that 1969 camaro with a big blower stickwn out of the hood, tubbed rear end, with a full roll cage ? Or the 1972 dodge dart(which is just as race ready it just dosent flaunt it. did someone say hemi?)that looks as though it just brought grandma home from the market? Either way you are going to get smoked.

While the only person in the movies that flew a YT-1300 was a smuggler, it doesn't mean he is the only person that can fly it. Likewise, just because the only person that wore mando armor was a BH, it doesn't mean they are the only folks that can wear it. I hope smugglers get something of their own, but the devs would be making too many people angry with silly additions such as this.

If you want to see more money as a smuggler, tell the devs to do something with spice experimentation. I would pay good money for a muon that laster longer than 9 minutes.

A YT-1300 is a freighter, and while it makes an obvious choice as a smuggling vessle, it also can be an obvious choice as an honest merchant vessle. In theory, a YT-1300 is not an awesome ship stock from the factory. It's just a normal, light freighter with any number of uses in the galaxy at large.

What would be a better approach would to have smuggler freighters (yes, I know this is the only one, but i'm optimistic for future add-ins) be the only freighers capable of being armed. This plays into the need for smugglers to have armed ships while legitimate cargo-haulers wouldn't necessarily need weaponry (ok, so there are pirates, but just for the sake of the game). Now, granted this ability would in-turn make every smuggler into Solo-clones, but at the moment that's the direction we're headed anyway. By giving us the only armed YT-1300s (and hopefully other armed freighers in the future) would likely cut down on the overall demand for the ships (since most pilots will want to blow crap up) and gives us that sleeper/contraband feel we want.

I asked a friend of mine that I used to play the PnP starwars with how much a YT-1300 went for new . Acording to the game it was $100,000. I am willing to bet that it will be 10-20 times that for one in the game.
