Thats why there's an "Other" section, the Falcon would be cool exept i'd get tired of the maintenance.

I think i'd like to cruise around in Vader's Tie Advanced for looks. People would piss their pants if they thought Vader was cruising around in a TIE.

I'd probably just come up with my own smugglers rig. Adecent sized freighter that could accomdate an attatched starfighter kike the freighter/A Wing combo from New Rebellion.

X-Wing, preferably the XJ-variant. Rugged, reliable, and the only one with real aerodynamics in case of loss of engine power. It might be able to glide. A TIE would drop like a rock. My second choice would be a TIE Avenger. Faster than an A-Wing, has the firepower of an X-Wing with roughly the shields of an A-Wing.

If I didn't want the hyperdrive, I'd go for an N-1. I actually like their looks.

Hmm.... I will admit that I like the design for the Virago's design. Wish I knew more about it, though.

I guess I'd have to go with a Firespray. Not one as heavily armed as the Slave I, mind you... just give it enough defences to be able to dish out a nice pounding. I'd use it as a party wagon, mostly, and to sit isolated in deep space for weeks at a time.

Y Wing for me. Something about it Ive always liked. Its like the F-4 during the Gulf War, old but still useful.

If I was flying for the Empire, then probably an Assault Gunboat.

I'd habe to go with the Tie Defender. ENough Fire Power to fight a B-Wing to a stand still and the coolness only an imperial fighter can have.

X-wing. It's a nice all around fighter, and the upgraded versions aren't significantly inferior to the TIE Defender, based on Wedge's comments (or another one of the Rogues) after flying one.

Second place is a three-way tie for TIE Defender, A-wing, or B-wing. The Defender and A-wing are fast ships, and the B-wing is so heavily shielded and gunned it'd be easy to feel safe in it.

I'd want an A-wing (assuming we're talking about today, not in the SW-verse). Shields are enough for anything that will be thrown at me, its fast, and its got a good view :)

Would be damn cool to have one in my backyard, assuming I knew how to fly it and such.

Probably the TIE Fighter, with that thing, you practically become one with it, of course this is what I learned from X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter.

The A-wing is too damn fragile for my tastes. One hit and POOF!

My first choice would be the A-wing. I think it's a sleek, stylish ship, and I like those kind of ships.
My seond choice would be the Slave I. It's well armed, and has plenty of interior space.

If we aren't limited to SW fighters then I'd take a Stealth Alpha Veritech and re-form Skull Squadron.

For long rang or "Freight" missions I'd convert a corellian corvette or a carrack sruise and turn it into a spacefaring party. convert the cargo bays and all but one of the hangars into dance floors, add a big pool somewhere anddouble the size of the Captain's suite to accomodate my Twi'Lek dancing triplets
