Ships

This article contains information regarding the Jump to Lightspeed expansion which is not currently available in the Emulator. |
Starships are operated by Pilots in space sectors, both player and NPC. Space travel may be undertaken by booking passage at a starport, but since the introduction of individual ships in the Jump to Lightspeed expansion, players are free to go wherever they wish in space, to engage in combat or do a little space mining. Players may fly starships for the Alliance or the Imperial Navy, the RSF Squadron of Naboo, the Corellian Security Squadron, or for various mercenary groups with the Smuggler Alliance, each of which has its own special starships available.

Ship Classifications
Player starships each fall into a distinct role that determines a ship's handling characteristics. Roles determine acceleration, deceleration, rotation rates, momentum/slide, throttle "sweetspot" (the throttle level resulting in greatest rotation rate), and high-speed rotation penalty:
- Light Fighter
- Low mass light fighter. Very very crisp rotation, but sacrifices acceleration and deceleration to accomplish this. Very slide heavy, but very little rotation penalty at high speeds.
- Medium Fighter
- Moderate mass medium fighter. Sloppier rotation, slightly more acceleration, less sliding and more significant rotation penalty.
- Heavy Fighter
- High mass heavy fighter. Much sloppier rotation, but amazing acceleration and deceleration. Penalty when going at top speed for rotation is severe.
- Interceptor
- Fairly light mass space superiority fighter. Mixes characteristics of light and heavy fighters. Expect to sacrifice mass to get the maximum performance out of this one.
- Bomber
- Very high mass, very heavy craft. A brick. More diverse weapons arsenal available.
- Multipassenger Ship (POB)
- An even bigger brick.
- These incredibly cool ships have decorateable interiors that can be occupied by group members as if it were the inside of a house. These ships have turrets that can be jumped into and out of by people aboard the ship.
- POB ships no longer take up one of your structure lots, but still hold a maximum of 75 items on board.
