If you could have any ship in the Star Wars universe and the EU what one would you have?

I'd have a personalised YT-2000, with lots of laser turrets- for defense reasons ofcourse! :D :D

Modified Slave 1. I think it is a Firespray-class Patrol Craft. It would have the best shields, weapons, armor, speed, etc. It would be painted black with a little silver.

Or maybe, I'd take an extremely modified Sun Crusher. Put better lasers.

Or maybe, I'd take a Executor-class Star Destroyer.

Or maybe, I'd take a TIE Defender, modified, of course.

I too would have the Correlian YT-2000. Awesome ship. And I wouldnt even need to modify it, its already tricked out with everything! And it has ion cannons which the Falcon does not. And very comfortable.

second as my personal starfighter..... being a fan of Naboo.. and in star wars galaxies being a native of naboo and the RSF of naboo.

The N-1 starfighter.

I dont know what ship I'd choose, but I'd paint it black with little white dots placed at random intervals. That way when I was flying straight at someone they'd be like, weird, those stars are moving kinda funny.....*PING PING PAZOW*

and they're dead.

I'd have something of Naboo design, not too big, not too small. Well shielded, pretty fast on her own (doesen't have to be the fastest), and has some secret "defense systems," some good lasers for defense, mabye turbolasers if possible.

The death star 3 (It is not a ship I made it up) it is the death star two with no weak points



I would also want the clone assult ship the Candessari.

Eclipse II

or my own Imperial Star Destroyer Mark II like Booster :D

I'd paint it Black though... and I'd actually make sure stuff worked :/

A ship like the "Pulsar Skate" (Baudo class star yacht?).

Painted red with white trim (colour scheme on my Honda VFR).

Name: Interceptor.

w/ Xwing in the hold, just for fun.

Slave One duct taped (or krazy glued) onto a modified Super Star Destroyer. They are together and should therefore be counted as a single ship.:D:D:D

I'd have a completely unmodifed X-Wing. i don't need modified stuff - i'm naturally awesome.

Perhaps i'd upgrade the sound system for those long hyperspace flights, possibly stick a dvd player in there:)

And an ashtray..

But apart from that, unmodified!

Nah, I'd have a jet black painted Executor-class Star Destroyer with squadrons of modified Sun Crushers, modifed Slave I's, and Modified TIE Defenders (modifications would be like the ones I posted earlier). I would have two of each just for me!!

It'd probably be quicker to build another death star than to paint one of those bad boys!

That's all the space based craft covered - to pootle round town i'd have Anakin's Pod strapped to 2 TIE interceptors - 0-60 in 0.0001265 seconds! vvvvrrrrrooooooooom!

You lot are mad! no one wants the Millenium Falcon, the fastest ship in the fleet, or somthing. Anyway its briliant, when it works.

Dash Render's YT-2400 could SLAUGHTER the Millienum Falcon.

I mean, Dash's 2400 and Solo's 1300 were always at odds in the EU and it was never determined whose ship was the faster one.

XJ3-class X-wing.

Or a KDY Elomere class starfighter, put into production two years before the NJO happened, then fell into the hands of pirates for the most part and thus was discontinued. Heavily modified: quad laser cannons, twin ion cannons, twin rapid fire blaster cannons, twin concussion missile, twin proton torpedo launcher, modifiable twin missile launchers (shadow bombs, emp missiles, minirockets, etc).

I'd go with the Ebon Hawk from the Knights of the Old Republic CRPG. I haven't seen any actual specs for it, but I would modify so much that the base specs would be moot anyway.

Umm, they aren't...tactical fighter craft. In the NJO series they are used as patrol craft a lot. Not the best..........

BTW- Not to sound like a noob, but what does IIRC and MTFBWYA mean?

There isn't that much difference between an E and X-wing if you go by the WotC D20 system rules for them. The E-wing carries 1 less laser cannon and has weaker shields but in balance of this is more maneuverable making it very lethal in the hands of a skilled pilot.

Sure, if you're talking a T-65A X-wing. But the XJ and XJ3 classes of X-wing can outmaneuver and outperform an E-wing any day, as well as having superior weaponry and shields. Now you want cool, you've got an R7 unit (which was designed specifically for the E-wing and typically only works with an E-wing) working on an XJ X-wing, that's what you call cohesion (mind, it took a Jedi several tries to get it to work, but even so...)

Regardless, a TIE Defender could kick either one from here to the next galaxy if it had someone like Wedge Antilles flying it (anyone else remember Isard's Revenge?). And my ship, the Fate's Whip (what I described before) could easily outperform any of them in any given scenario.

I'd take the Ebon's Hawk for its time, but it wouldn't be able to match up in the modern area. That was before they even had standard shielding on all ships of that size.

Now I have to go back and check my sources again. I'm going by Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPG material (still haven't seen specs for the Tie Defender, though I don't have access to all issues of Star Wars Gamer at the moment). What sources are you drawing on?

I'd take the Ebon's Hawk for its time, but it wouldn't be able to match up in the modern area. That was before they even had standard shielding on all ships of that size.

I just like the looks and the layout of the Ebon Hawk and since it's old it would be very cheap, meaning I could afford to spend the credits to upgrade it to more modern specs while keeping the outdated transport look.

Now I have to go back and check my sources again. I'm going by Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPG material (still haven't seen specs for the Tie Defender, though I don't have access to all issues of Star Wars Gamer at the moment). What sources are you drawing on? Well, I'm drawing on the literature for the NJO. I haven't followed the actual stats from the RPG per se, but I'm familiar with standard armament and speed ratings, etc. While I don't know where the TIE Defender falls in terms of the standard RPG system, I know from the X-wing series of books (as well as the game) that their maneuverability and speed ratings far exceed those of an X-wing, with shielding capacity roughly equivalent. More, they have equal laser firepower, plus two ion cannons, plus an equal missile bank layout to a T65-A X-wing.

In regards to the X-wing v. E-wing scenario, my reasoning is thus:the XJ X-wing (and its further advanced follower, the XJ3) are said to have boosted both firepower, added another missile bank (taking the total to 3, not just 2), and increased speed, maneuverability as well as shielding. Now, given that (as has already been pointed out), the X-wings remained the mainstay of the New Republic/GFFA fleet throughout the course of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, while E-wings were less common - used, but considerably less so - my logic is that it makes sense for the NR/GFFA to be churning out the better fighter. Those improvements in speed and maneuverability are therefore likely to equal (if not exceed) those of the baseline E-wing. Further, the E-wing has since been co-opted by a number of shadier groups (much as the Z-95 was), while the X-wing never was. That's because the X-wing was the better choice for the Republic to go with during the war. I just like the looks and the layout of the Ebon Hawk and since it's old it would be very cheap, meaning I could afford to spend the credits to upgrade it to more modern specs while keeping the outdated transport look. I completely agree with you. It does look pretty cool.

id have my own custom ship called Larz it would be a huge ship with a docking bay and other ships in there and my HUGE living quarters and swiming pool and plasama tv(or whatever is the best in the SW galaxy) and i could just have my ship orbit a planet so if any1 needed to find me i would be orbiting that planet sorta like living on it yea and also if a death star approached that planet id be the first 1 outta there he he :D
