Wouldnt it be great if the devs threw us a bone and gave only smugglers the ability to fly a TY-1300?
MY GOD PEOPLE WOULD NEED US FOR SOMETHING OTHER THEN SLICING!!!
Plus many of the people that owned Millennium Falcon "like" ship were of the shady kind. I think it would be dumb to give out the only multi passegner ship to just about anyone who wants to fly a non aligned spacecraft. Smugglers should need the ship for smuggling. Smugglers should get the TY-1300 as the BH should get the Slave-1 (couldnt find ship name). They could give us a cert as master smuggler and then give the ship alvl that can only be called when you have so many skills on a starfight profession.
Anyone agree?

I understand how many people would see it and think 'Han Solo' but it's a freighter. That means it would be commonly owned by merchants/artisans etc...

Why in the world would you want that? Smugglers should want to blend in not stick out like a glowing beacon screaming 'Here mr. imperial my smuggler only ship is full of contraband!' And personally I think it sucks if that's the only freighter. Solo was my favorite character but I have no desire for a direct mimic of him.

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

YT 1300s were very common freighters in the Star Wars universe. The Millenium Falcon was an extremely modified YT 1300. YT 1300 will be, and should be, available to everyone but I thinkit would be cool if smugglers had the ability to modify their ships in ways that other professions can't. I believe I heard that slicing ships and components will be included in the SE but I dont remember exactly where.

Ahh I found theinfo I was looking for:
Can I illegally modify my ship?
Yes! Just like sliced weapons, illegal modified ships are contraband. One can only assume the Empire will attack you if they discover the illegal modifications you've made.
Thats from the swg.stratics.com JTL FAQ, the E3 version.

TIE ADVANCE. You can have you YT-1300but that peace of junk won't stand a chance against this baby 
Thefalcon isn't a smugglers ship (well it is but the YT-1300 isn't), it's a ship that belongs to a smuggler. Personaly I would like to see more than 9 ships eventual. More like 50 that they have in Alliance. I don't know all there names but I'm sure that when I find the one I like, I will fall in love with it as much as Han did when he saw the falcon.

we should get contoband hiding bonuses for flying that ship.
we should be able to costomise it better than anyone else
however you shouldn't be the only ones

I think the answer lies somewhere in the middle, as some have already stated. Should we (though I'm just Novice Smuggler) be the only ones with the ability to own/fly the YT-1300? No. Should we have advantages (Slicing, bonues) for having one (or vessels of that ilk)? Yes. Smugglers I think should have some basic flying skills included in our skill trees. Those skills should be limited to Cargo/Transport type space craft and not Fighter classes. Those skills would be basic and can be supplemented by adding a Pilot Trade. Kind of like the Smuggler having some basic Pistol Skills, but needing Pistoleer to be real good with them. I just feel Smugglers should have some inate pilot skills, without it being too great an advantage. For balance, BH should get something similar for some combat craft, and perhaps Merchants could get something very similar to Smugglers for cargo only craft but not transports (if there are any, ala 'Lady Luck'). Well, there are my 2 credits....

Would love to see this. Butthat might mean extra work for us smugglers that the devs just cant give us. I just really want to see something that makes me think "wow smuggler". So far in this game we have very little to show "outward" to makes us a smuggler (not even our own gun
). I just want to walk down to a starport and have people look at me and go "Oh he must be a smuggler".Message Edited by HimFan on 05-16-2004 11:11 PM
