Yeah, but the 1300's a pain in the ass to fly, what with the off-kilter cockpit and all, and personality ain't gonna keep you from scraping the side of the hanger wall when you come in for a landing.
Now, with the YT-2000, you can get everything the Falcon has asides from its legacy, and without the need to second-guess your positions. It even looks better to boot.
This has been another blunder by you friendly local idiot.
I want something that will be easy to pilot but very manuvrable that only aces can shoot down. But it is not in the ship, it is the pilot in the ship that counts.
Wow. Only one other person said Slave I? What the fuck is wrong with you people?!? Boba and Jango Fett, the invincible ones in the Slave I?!? Seriously.
It's not so much the look of the ship, but rather the weight it carries behind it. To quote starwars.com,
The elliptical silhouette of the Slave I is the last thing any fugitive would want to see on her rear sensor display.
"If one needed proof that a guitar was more than wood and string, that a song was more than notes and words, and that a man could be more than a name and a few faded pictures, then Robert Johnson’s recordings were all one could ask for."

Emphasis mine. After their respective run-ins with a Jedi Master and a Sarlaac, I'd say that claim is dubious.
Not too mention the whole idea of a ship that lands one way, but flys anothers, makes things reaallly complicated in terms of what happens to the internal space.
I will still go with a Victory-SD as my Cap ship.
a Old Republic Dreadnaught as smaller Cap ship.
Marauder Corvette as a "Cruz-Mobile™" ship.
anmd a Action IV for cargo hauler.

What it can't outgun it can outrun; what it can't outrun it can outgun.
Dammit, I don't know where I read that catchy phrase. Now that's going to annoy me all night.

Not just the fire power im looking for a way to get into hyperspace in a few seconds.

Big: Imperial Star Destroyer,This ship simply looks so good and usefull,the dagger like shape gives a ISD with all weapons disabled the abillity to still poke a enemy vessel really hard.
Medium: Blockade Runner,you got to respect any ship that devotes a entire 1/3 of it's size to engines,add that with the rotating sensor dish and you got a clear vinner in my book.
Fighter: Y-wing,Still my favorite fighter for sentimetal reasons, i can remember at the age of 6 watching A New Hope for the first time with my brother and cheering as the sleak Y-wings dived down the treach.

and now that i heard it, i have no possible way of fergiting it either, thx a bunch.
No a Falcon is only ment for the best. Hand is the best along with Luke Wedge, Anakin aka Vader aka a complaning kid, and Lando also a few others but it is my fave for just the fire power.
Standard TIE fighter. Kickass space superiority starfighter. EU "TIEs suck" brainbug be damned!

Perhaps he's referring to the Raven's Claw? That's the ship Kyle Katarn got after the Moldy Crow got trashed, but I'm not sure what make or model it is.
Edit: I did some Googling and found this http://www.darksaber.gaylenol.com/crafttransports.htm
According to it, the Moldy Crow is a Vangaard Gyre. I can't ascertain the original source of either piece of information, but I'd go with Wizards. They feel more official... or something.
nothing beats the old standby. Give me a stock ISD. I still remember being a little kid and watching the opening scene from ANH for the first time and thinking 'Holy Crap! how big is that thing?'

Movies; Falcon but the ISD is close second with an A wing close third.
Total with EU; I love 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
