Yeah, but the problem with that is more than likely, EVERYONE will have that ship. They're giving it to anyone with 6 months in game time.

I figure most people will go with TIEs, XWings, and Falcon clones (along with the starter ships) and I want something different. I would love to have something that screams "IMPORTANT IMPERIAL ONBOARD," but I doubt I'll get anything like that so I'll just go with some sort of shuttle.

Being different gets you a lot of positive recognition. For instance, I walk around in uniform and random people will salute me and call me sir. It happens all the time. Even though I'm at a combat disadvantage, I'd rather have the recognition.

Depending on the performance stats, I'm going with the Hutt Greed (the Heavy Hutt fighter). I would have rather had a Hutt Freighter or some other larger smuggling ship than the YT-1300 (Falcon), but you get what you get.

I'm with you on the different ships, Tramel, but don't hold your breath for any kind of shuttle or other Freighter. They've already said that the YT-1300 is the only one for the JtL launch.

I signed up for beta with both of my accounts because I want to try out the ships before it goes live to see which ones I like and what they can do...unfortunately I will probably be in training when it's going on, but we'll see what happens

Nope, it will go to anyone with 6months as of the time that JTL goes live.

There's going to HAVE to be some sort of non-combat ship, or ship that can take a huge beating that is not a Y-Wing.

Yea, I know what you mean Raggs. I'd probly get more salutes and all for wearing my uniform, but I rarly leave Rori. As for ships, I'm planing on having Nyasu go shipwrigt. He's got enough artisian xp for novice arch, so hopfully he can jump righ into it when it goes live. I'll let you know what they have craftable and hook you up. (Althought getting resources is going to be a bitch)

Well, if it relies heavily on metals (which I'm sure it will), then you know the Imperial Mining Company has you covered.

Good to know. I'm willing to bet these things will require resources that have never spawned in game on any server, or craploads of ammounts of resources that havent' been around for a long while. Ug. I really need to get back to harvesting.

How many people are playing to go shipwright, or have a secondary account go shipwright?

Well, you know I'll have you on all the misc steel, copper, iron, or ore neccessary. BTW, have they said that shipwrights will be able to craft faction ships or no?

I've not heard anything, but I would presume so. Faction bought ships would suck for all combat if they stay true to form with their weapons and armor bought.

Yeah, but remember, faction weapons and armor suck, and they haven't tried to make a move at changing that.

Cista will go shipright as well as Zannon for Nocturnus's premium shipbuilding needs. Also if Darkenith ever gets back he's going shipwright as well.
