Culture AOU (Advanced Offense Unit)

it is to a DS as a DS is to a fighter.

But seriously...

I'd use a YT-2400... a freighter type modified for speed and survivability.

Gotta use my fav, the YT 2000.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

See what happens when you don't put a tonnage or sensibility limit?

Actually, I have come to like the Acclimator class. It carries a lot of stuff but is relatively small compared to the monster ships that we know are coming, and best of all it can land on a planet in its entirety. It's got stations for turbolasers and I'm sure it can house more if you want, and a cloak as well.

As a smuggler, I'm not interested in fighting major wars, but with ab Acclimator and some Clone or Droid warriors I could also do some mercenary work on the side...
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Since the Vong control the galaxy right now, I'd go with a Vong ship, since they pretty much shoot anything else out of the sky.

Star Galleon. Decent armanets and a bitch to board if captured.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Corellian Corvette. Supposedly the things are so bloody common that the Rebellion used them because the Imps couldn't afford to stop them all, since commerce would dry up.

Possibly a Firespray. It's a cool looking ship, we've seen it can dance, it packs a punch, and having it rotate is pretty awesome. But I'm a Fanboy, YT-1300. I'm a smuggler, so it'll be like a 67 mustang when I get done with it.

I wonder what the Star Wars equivalent of the Pinto is? We already now what Trek's is, the GCS
