3 or 4 uber ships?
There are only two shitty spacecraft in the X-Wing series and those are the Y-Wing and the TIE Bomber. They fly like drunken space cows...think of something worse than the Rag. Everything else is reasonably balanced if you have any skill.
Besides, when have the devs ever said that the bots are going to use the same loadouts as us? They already have their own models of spacecraft and are limited in not being able to jump, so who's to say that they're not going to always be differently off?

Its a mental experiment to find out if your suggestion for changes are reasonable. *Most* people fly like bots themselves. And as for X-wing, the Y-wing was one of the best ships to fly! and I meant that that game has a small selection of excellent ships where what GS wants is a large selection of good ships. And as of now the ships are nearly perfectly balanced, the weapons arent.
EDIT: sorry i fthis doesnt quite make sense, I just woke up :/

Under the section of "fixed ship equipment" =)
How about a small centurian-like ship, with a fixed very fast engine (someone else first suggested this, but i can't remember who). Maybe even no weapons ports/not capable - used for exploring. For an example, could this engine run with floating speeds at 75 - 85 m/s with a turbo max of 180. Said again: this should propably not be able to cap flag - even though it should have *very* little armour.
EDIT:
and how about making the Centaur the transport it really is - replacing some of all those weapons ports with cargo bays. Then it would truely be worth something - and escort would be required to use it...
just thoughts

-------------------------
it already requires escort or a careful pilot. if the bots in sector 17 catch up to you while you're in a centaur, you're not gonna live long.

Or me :P
EMP MINES!!! MAKE IT SO!

My point exactly Independence... why not make it worth the trip - it doesn't pay to use it - when one have the credits, and already in 18 they buy a marauder instead... just a thought!
EDIT: I know that i would rather pick the atlas for maneuverbility - the cargo is almost the same!?!
