My fellow smugglers,
As many of you may know, as a master level Freelancer of the Smugglers Alliance, we are given the clearence to pilot a YT-1300 corellian transport. This multipassanger ship has very similar stats to the Empire's Decimator and the Rebels Nova,
Except for one Glaring difference.
The YT-1300 only has 2 missile hardpoints,
while the Decimator and Nova both have 3 missile hardpoints.
This represents a 33% reduction in missile firepower. In all other respects, these ships are identical. But for some reason, the Freelance Master Pilot is stuck with an inferior multi-passanger ship.
I would ask that any Freelance pilot go to the Pilot forum and post in support of getting the YT-1300 back to the same level of functionality.
Please support Freelance Pilots to have a fair and ballanced multi-passanger ship
Thanks

I'm an SA pilot, and although I don't think we necessarily need another missile slot on the YT, I'll jump on this bandwagon as soon as the rest of the SA pilots jump on mine. While they're at it making the changes to the YT, I'd like to see them change the missions that are identical to the Smuggler missions, as well as a change in the scripts that make NPCs recognise SA Pilots as SMUGGLERS. I'm not flaming, I'm not bitter. I'm just stating my opinion. I have a hard time supporting anything until the CU gets finished because that's what we were told is taking up all the resources that need to be devoted to a SMUGGLER REVAMP.

I'd perhaps buy into the "nonMilitary-Ship" argument ifthe YTwere balanced in some other way. Less engine reduction would be a good start. After all, the most famous freighter in SW and the "Fastest Hunk of Junk in the Galaxy" was a YT. A unique YT, but nonetheless, onebased on the same ship thatmany of us Freelancers call home.
Simply put, the YT was badly implemented. We tested it in beta, we pointed out its flaws (namely the missing bomb rack and lootbox), and they largely ignored us. They did fix the lootbox though, so hopefully they'll address this as well.

well..the yt is a freighter...
the nova and the decimator are military warships.
seems kinda logicial the military guys should have a stronger ship here or there.
dont matter to be, be nice to have an extra space bomb...but whatever
