Torn between the Galileo, the Delta, the X-Wing, and the TIe...based on looks alone...I don't watch enough SW or TV in general to know what everything does...

Tie Defender for first choice, X-wing for second and Delta flyer for third

It's almost a toss up between the X-Wing and teh Delta Flyer, both look GREAT but I have to go with the X-Wing. I've always dreamed of flying her ever since I first lined up to see ANH A long time ago....

Two indisicive responses already. This is going to be interesting. At least i set up a good poll on this one.

Even though I'm a Rebel sympathizer at heart, I have to vote for the TIE Defender. That thing is sweet!!!

I'll go with the falcon. I'll paint it red and call it "The Krusty Krab"

The Falcon. It has some decent living and cargo space. In that category also the shuttles would win up. A TIE or X-Wing would be too cramped, you can carry survival rations at most, not even a single crate of stuff.

the Falcon its the best well rounded ship available better armed and shielded than the shuttleds but larger than the fighters

Yeah, you gotta carry stuff. Stuff is important. Stuff makes the world go round.

Falcon...as sweet as the Defender is...I need something I could stretch my legs in.

It would have to be the Millenium Falcon. I could put it to good use and earn back my money. And, it's a great ship if you just want to get the hell away from it all.

The stuff surrounds and penetrates everything. It binds the galaxy together.

Smart ass

Millenium Falcon, definitely. I wanna be able to live in the ship I buy. Plus it's fully hotted up, sik re!!!

Another vote for the Falcon. Sure, it'd be a bit difficult keeping her together at first, but I wouldn't go as far as Han did in pumping her full of performance-enhancing upgrades. I'd just want a jalopy that I can jump around the galaxy in, and still have enough space to sleep in, watch TV, have an orgy...

'Course, it'd have a bumper ticker that says "My Other Starship is a TIE Defender".

Bah. I'd rather have an ISD-2 like booster Terrik

Pity Executor-class aren't for sale.

Of course Executor class ships are for sale, for the low cost of one covert ops raid on Kuat, or the extermination of a dozen Imperial warlords you too can own your own Super Star Destroyer.

Tie X1, Darth Vader, you`re my hee-ro!

LordShaithis · Post by **LordShaithis** » 2002-10-19 06:20am

Falcon. It has speed, guns, and lots of room for beer and pizza.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-10-19 09:09am

Falcon, I say I inveted it in Homage to Lucus then run quick and be the first man to step on Mars and the various other Rocks in the Galaxy

Then sell it to America for
TRILLION DOLLERS!

Naa, maybe 100 Billion

Defender man nothings faster weeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2002-10-19 11:20am

Falcon. The TIE Defender might be better in a fight but it really would need a mother ship for any kind of sustained operations or even to go for a trip from the core to rim.

I'd likely buy the Falcon, and then add an adapter to let me dock my Defender or better yet Novawing to the side of it.

Alyeska · Post by **Alyeska** » 2002-10-19 12:44pm

I am rather torn on this. The Type-3 is a rather large shuttle (larger then anything but the E-E shuttle from Insurrection) and seems to have a fair speed.

Then again the Type-3 is most likely no FTL capable and I would be left touring Sol, and while interesting, thats just not enough.

That leaves two real options here. Falcon or Delta Fyler. The Falcon is fairly large and has a nice FTL drive. Then again, since this is in real life, its not like going around the Galaxy THAT fast is THAT important. The Delta Flyer while slower and somewhat smaller, still has a decent amount of room on board. You can have a crew of 4 to make the ship run nicely and it comes with some added features like transporters and replicators. Its also got a large number of phaser emiters all over the ship (8 total) meaning if I wanted to conquer modern day earth, I could shoot down anything that approached me.

In the end, its a tie between the Falcon and the DF. Falcon is fast and big (with ROOM) while the DF is fair sized with some nice technology built into it.

If the Runabout or Sovereign Captains yacht were up there, I might have chossen them first because of their larger size to the DF with more room to stretch.

I'd want a stock YT-1300, but I'm not sure if I'd want the hastle of dealing with a souped-up version utilizing technology I haven't a clue how to operate.

Delta Flyer would be okay too, for reasons Alyeska mentioned.

Mr. B · Post by **Mr. B** » 2002-10-19 01:07pm

I'd take the falcon and put a Tie Defnder in the cargo hold.

I would make it fit.
