Oh, every class gets their own ship? There's no Force/non-Force split, it's eight different models?

The Jedi both get those cute Corellian mini-corvette things and the Sith both get the Fury-class whatever the gently caress the Fury is (assault transports?), the Agent gets an SR-71, the Bounty Hunter gets a flying garbage pile with an awesome name, the Smuggler gets the Not Quite the Ebon Hawk Millennium Falcon back and the Trooper gets a fake B-Wing that's really awkward and janky to use in space battles due to the weirdly positioned lasers.

 ##Begin Log## Captain's log: #017 Stardate: A perfect ten moment.  The only good thing about the Works is security assumes nobody's stupid enough to want to go down there. Who'd want to? There's nothing there except interesting ways to fill out an obituary.  First off, all the maintenance droids are crazy. They're armed and extremely dangerous, and for some reason they want everything soft and squishy dead – and they're the least of your problems.  Then there's the Cthon. I don't know why they're even down there, do you? Is there a xenobiologist in the house? It doesn't matter why they're down there, though, they'll still rip your face off for a light lunch.  And if you get past all of that, in the deep, dark tunnels, the Empire's waiting. Jiik was right, somehow. More than ten years after the sack, and there are Imperial soldiers hiding out on Coruscant.  Even with all that in our way, Skavak couldn't hide forever. Following the trail of Imp bodies lead me down a dead-end service shaft. I could hear a familiar voice up ahead. Time to settle the secore. Recommended for finally catching up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAf2V_uuopA   quote:Commander Kasstroff: Watch your tone, Skavak. My agent is standing by at the spaceport, ready to deliver the item. You have someone ready to receive it?  Nailed it! quote:Commander Kasstroff: Skavak, is this some sort of trick?   quote:Skavak: Corso, heard about your job. Don't let unemployment make you bitter, all right?  quote:Commander Kasstroff: Enough of this. The Captain is your problem, Skavak. Deal with it.  Just like that, Skavak bolts. I'd have given almost anything to shoot him in the back, but the Imps had their blasters trained right on us.  quote:Quinine: Do you enjoy being Skavak's maid, commander?  I was hoping he might catch Skavak while he made his getaway, but the Murustavan Ruby is what Skavak stole from Sullust in the first place. Getting it back was probably top priority. quote:Commander Kastroff: Who do you think you are giving me orders? You're as good as dead, you alien filth.  Miel Muwn's no street-fighter – he's a constable, he's used to fighting with support and by the rules. Corso and I duck before the Commander finishes his order.  Miel doesn't.  When we pop back up, we unload on Kasstroff and his men. They're not street-fighters either, they're soldiers. They're not used to bringing rifles to bear on a target close enough to reach out and touch them.  I make sure to get in plenty of that.  Once we brought Kasstroff and his men down we turned to Miel, but... well...  quote:Quinine: Hold still, we can get you a medpack. It was a docking bay number. He'd found my ship. Dying in a Coruscant gutter, and he gives me the key to beating Skavak and taking back what's mine. quote:Corso: Poor little guy. He didn't deserve to go out like this.   Goodnight Miel. You were one in a million, and one more friend Skavak's killed. Another swift kick in the head when I catch the guy, right after Viidu's.  Now it was a race. Skavak didn't want to give me a fair fight, especially after me and Corso just wiped out Kasstroff's whole unit, but if he made it back to my ship first he'd take off with it – and with a whole galaxy to get lost in, I wouldn't be finding him again any time soon.  Too bad for him beating others to the punch is my speciality. Okay, running through the spaceport with my blaster out wasn't the safest course of action, but finally my luck was turning and I made it to the docking bay ahead of Skavak.  There wasn't much chance of Skavak coming at me head-on, but we still had his security to deal with. A Bith starship dealer named Fabizan and a couple of thugs were the last obstacle between me and my ship. quote:Fabizan: In case it wasn't clear by the security door you just sliced, this is a private docking bay. Beat it.   quote:Fabizan: Skavak said there might be a troublemaker dropping by. He paid extra for security to take care of it.  Fabizan... now, for a “twitchy little starship merchant”, he put up more of a fight than that whole Imperial squad. The guy had incendiaries packed up both sleeves and ate blaster bolts like they were tickles. Too bad for him I've been burned enough already – hardly even felt it.  His security went down hard and the fight went out of him pretty soon after that. I figured I should try again. Highly recommended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACXVt7oznZo   quote:Fabizan: That mean machine Skavak brought to Coruscant? I've been taking really good care of it.  You're learning, Corso. We'll make a smuggler of you yet. quote:Fabizan: I could give you a nice ship upgrade and charge it to Skavak's account. Interested? He had some good stuff, too. Blaster upgrades, reinforced armor bulkheads, shield emitters, the works. In the end though, I took some new engine parts – it's my bread and butter, after all – a replacement dejarik table and the deluxe Captain's quarters bed. Hey, memory foam doesn't come cheap! quote:Fabizan: Do I work fast or what? All your cargo's accounted for and waiting in the hold, even the special stuff. And then, I saw her.         Hey babe.  I promise, I'll never leave you again.  Soon as I walked up the ramp everything felt right with the galaxy again. I still haven't gone inside though – it looks like Skavak messed up the transponder. Probably scrambled it so I couldn't track her. Clever, but it didn't help him. Once I unscramble it, I'll have to punch the ship's name back in. ##End Log## [And what, you might ask, is the name of our illustrious Captain Quinine's ship? Since if you left it up to me you'd get something lame like “the Q-ship” (get it? It's a kind of naval warship as well as a reference to tonic water!), I leave it up to the thread to come up with one and vote for it.]

Well drat, I was kinda hoping that Quinine was gonna have to make do with a shuttle or something. Everyone else getting their nice shiny ships, but the smuggler having to wait til like the third planet or something would have been funny. Incredibly infuriating probably, but funny.

Ugh, the Works is my second least favourite part of the Coruscant. Most least being the entire planet. Way too big. I was so glad when added when they added level 1 sprint and the ability to use speeders in the space port.

CommissarMega posted:Call your ship the Miel Muwn- one way or another, the little guy is going to finish the job Second this one; just wish you could actually name your ship in-game. Sure, most folks would never see it, but it's not like having one extra bit of text would be much of a burden on the server (especially if you just stored it local and had the client kick it up when you boarded; apart from the rare occasions when you invite somebody on your ship you wouldn't have to transfer the info to another client). Oh, and nice excuse for the Trooper to hit the Temple, Brainamp (as folks probably noticed, only the Jedi have class quests there. Sure you can go there for the couple of planetary quests, but WHY?).

##Begin Log## Captain's log: #018 Stardate: Back in the saddle. I figured it was time for a change. I wouldn't even be here right now if that little Sullustan constable hadn't stuck his neck out for me, he deserves to be there when I finally make Skavak pay as much as anybody. I keyed in Miel Muwn into the ship's transponder.  Once we stepped inside Corso decided to get acquainted with the place. It might've been a while but I still remember every detail of my baby inside and out. What I don't remember is having a brand-new protocol droid waiting for me at the boarding ramp. Did Skavak buy it?  quote:Quinine: Glad to have you aboard. Tell me your functions, Seetoo. Not a bad parting gift from Skavak. I always wanted my own droid butler to iron shirts and fix up breakfast.      I didn't really need the tour of my own ship, but the droid really seemed into it. Didn't want to break his stride. quote:Quinine: Prep the ship for flight, we're leaving shortly.  Fine with me. I could use somebody to clean this place up a bit – scrubbing out Skavak's stink is gonna be a full-time job. quote:Quinine: What do you consider a “non-hazardous” task?   I was hoping for a big pallet of blasters, right where I left them – I still hadn't heard of Skavak selling them, after all. Maybe if they were there, I could still make Rogun's delivery and just eat a late fee instead of a never-ending conga-line of bounty hunters.  The blasters are gone. Instead, I find a weird collection of junk and a mysterious woman working away on a console like she didn't even hear me come in. Call me paranoid, but I kept my hand on my blaster. I didn't need another of Skavak's girlfriends causing me trouble. Recommended for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zzz5mIjXqY  quote:Quinine: Funny. I don't remember leaving a beautiful woman in my cargo hold. Must be my lucky day.  quote:Risha: He and I had a deal to deliver the things you see here.  quote:Quinine: Let's hear your offer, and we'll see.  quote:Skavak: Congratulations, Captain. You're officially number one on my list of people to kill.  I'm not afraid of Skavak. Rogun, on the other hand... well, I knew I wasn't going to like what came next. quote:Skavak: I sold all those blasters you were supposed to deliver for him on Ord Mantell. Can't imagine he'll be happy you lost them. Looks like I better start sizing myself up for a butchering. Getting a galactic crime lord off your tail when he's set to bring you down isn't easy, even for me. quote:Risha: Are you done posturing, Skavak? The captain and I have cargo to deliver.   Taunting Skavak and making money? She certainly knows what buttons to push. quote:Risha: The items here are pieces to a key – a key that unlocks the lost treasure of a very rich dead man named Nok Drayen.  quote:Risha: When he died ten years ago, Nok had more wealth than some Outer Rim worlds. Even the Hutts were jealous.  Ehhh, okay, maybe not my kind of guy exactly. Then again, I bet his risk of being butchered was pretty low. quote:Risha: Nok hid his fortune right before he died. For ten years, treasure hunters across the galaxy have searched for it in vain – until now. It sounds like a pretty good deal, but with the situation I'm in and the amount of times I've been fooled, call me slow to trust.  quote:Risha: That's fine, but if you want to be rich, you'll let me work for you.  quote:Quinine: You had me at riches. Not like I've got much else to do at the moment anyway, especially with a price on my head – and it'll burn Skavak up knowing I'm scooping the deal he wanted so bad. quote:Risha: Then let's hit the hyperlanes.  quote:Risha: That's a comfort. Well well, looks like I might have to bring my A-game for this one.  So that's Risha. Whew. I can say a lot about Skavak, but I can't say he's got bad taste. Whatever deal Risha cut with Skavak, it must be worth something. He was steamed when she ditched him. I get the feeling he's a guy who's not used to getting dumped. Even if it is, though, I can tell there's something else going on here. She kept talking about how I'm going to be filthy rich, but she never said what she was getting out of the deal. A share of the treasure? Fame? Something she's not telling me? Maybe she told Skavak too much, and is playing it safe with me. Or, maybe she's just ready to ditch me the same way she ditched Skavak at the first sign of trouble. It's not like I can afford to turn her down, though. I've got barely enough credits to keep my ship running, and I've got a lot of running to do these days. Plus if I'm ever going to get revenge on Skavak, chasing the treasure he wants so bad is the best way to draw him out.  I can worry about all that stuff later. First thing's first, I called Corso over from admiring the liquor cabinet and asked if he wanted to see what all our work was for. Recommended for the open sky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYY1YK1gmrE drat it, Skavak messed up my playlist. ##End Log##

I like the smuggler ship; it really looks like the old beater it's supposed to be, with those 70s-esque orange stripes on the bulkheads and the loose cable ducts snaking everywhere. It's also the only ship with a cocktail bar onboard.

They're identical and you receive them in the same order, the only difference is the placement of the guns on the enemy capital ships (I find the Republic's small ships much easier to defang than the Imperial ones).
