GD’s been giving me a headache lately. Soooo serious all the time!!!
All this constant debate about HS v LS, CBs v Pews. We’re overlooking the important questions! Like:

If CCP had come up with the Millennium Falcon, what would have been its faction, class and bonuses?

And when that’s sorted, what would be the official Han Solo fit?

I’ll start with : it’s more Desi size than Cruiser, but a ‘Blockade Runner’ if ever there was one!

Embrace your inner geek! Discuss…

It defiantly would need a high warp speed and even a bonus to warp speed.

That bucket of bolts would be minmatar for sure. Heavy weaponry, bad defenses, faster than a rabbit on crack sent flying by a nuke, and build from whatever part the builder had on hand.

I welcome this kind of thread here- but I predict that it will get moved to Out of Pod Experience within the next hour.
Ironic, isn't it?

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

It would probably cost 10^28 aur.

Its a blockade runner for sure, smuggling various types of cargo in hostile space.

Only ship able to carry contraband without getting detected by faction police!

See this is where it gets complicated.

You my friend are ignoring Neda's statement "no ship that small has a [covops] cloaking device!".

Convincing argument.
2 1/2 points!

It should get a bonus for smuggling... every level adds 10% chance your evasive maneuvering (listing lazily to the left) works to make the customs scans miss

Oh my...

It's gotta be Caldari.

The ship is built for function, blocky, non-symmetrical, and shield tanked.

Every ship has a cargo hold - the M. Falcon's is not large - so it isn't a blockade runner. And hell, Han *gets* caught and inspected. He just hides the cargo well.

It also fends off an attack of several newbie frigates (tie-fighters) at once, but has trouble tracking them. One shot kills them when it hits though, so it's likely packing medium guns.

I'm thinking it's a cruiser, along the lines of a Moa, although better looking.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Caldari Industrial modified by Minmatar Booster Sellers for use as a blockade runner.

I'd win one in a bet if CCP introduced some for of Sabacc.

Impressive! I see i'm a featherweight at this geekishness thing.

Isn't it a Light Freighter?

Well CCP did a good job coming up with the Rifter/X-Wing in a non copyright infringing way.

Lets have a 'Fillenium Malken - Light freighter' in the next expansion CCP.

Falcon's just a Battle Badger, nothing special.

CCP has no sense of humour.
