Ral Roke I just hope you know how to fly at least. It won't end well it he can't do that. And he definitely doesn't want to try and steal from me. But then again there's little reason to since I'm only a small corvette. true... he never mentioned nothin about knowing how to fly a vessel LOL

xNack ok, so what you say is that a vibroblade is not useful FOR A PIRATE then... not for another type of character... so no much to say.. PD: i dont watch anime so, that comment on the middle, was pointless. Actually, its not useful but for three people: Force users, Jedi/sith hunters, and collectors. The first knows them, the middle will only fall back if nothing else works not even retreat, and the last will want them. Think about the GCW era. How many people walked around with these things? Very few. A blaster is a beautiful weapon, because johnny normal over there can't move faster than plasma at 800 meters per second, nor does a vibrosword really block a blaster. Short of a jedi (non-existant at that time) the chances of it being useful are minute. Even in legacy, they hold little value. Want to counter a sith blade, use a slugthrower. Want to kill that bounty? use a blaster. The era of the vibrosword is over. It would be banned if it weren't for the fact that perhaps, for some magical reason, someone comes along with a really good excuse as to why they use one. For the most part, there aren't any places to learn to use one, and more importantly, the only opponents which you'd fight with a vibrosword are more talented than you. Its nice as a collector's item, or looking a part, but unless you're doing either, you wouldn't be inclined to use one.

Well my character is just a kid so I gave him the vibro blade sword to make him imaginative. He is rich so there is possibility that he either knows how to use or it is decoration, which in this case it is. The ship is negotiable I could go with a freighter but then again it is a rich kid so he will go for something he would see in holovids. The pistol is for the same reason as the ship.

Well, if that's the case, you can keep them. But you'll almost have to make him figure out the hard way he doesn't know diddly squat. Sure, he saw them in a vid. But aren't teenagers more inclined to go up to the starship dealer and ask "Give me the best thing you got?" The freighter is also probably more likely able to be purchased without having a real high-end liscence. I mean, consider that the blockade runner is a military ship. unless we're talking a really high roller, I doubt he'd easily part with a price tag on an antique ship which still requires a crew of over 50 to work properly...

I will say one thing though. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a group of people like saber rakes with vibroblades. But for all practical purposes, a blaster is the way to go. You aren't going try to fight up close while tiabanna is flying over your head.

Well one the ship is so old that it is obsolete as a military vessel so no license needed. Two he can easily crew it with droids that can be put into the profile.

They'd crap their pants the first time they boarded a freighter and found their noses up against a blaster rifle.

I'm definitely not endorsing it.

As for droids, no amount of automation could ever help you that much. droids are good for repair and such, but to fight with? Before you even state battledroids, we'll quickly not let ourselves use B2s, Droidekas, etc. You'll need even more equiptment, more automation, just to run those things. not to mention, you have to find someone that produces droids that old (junkyard digging only gets so far) which is unlikely, and the newer ones won't be sold to a private investor. Well, not for the amount of cash you have, at least.

Gah...
I just sent him a Summary of the Era, and a Write up of the Factions in our RP, suggested he go for a 120, told him to drop the DL-44, suggested a Rawk Chopped or some Generic unnamed Heavy Blaster Pistol, and asked him some touch of life questions...hopefully he'll incorporate them...

xNack you're doing either, you wouldn't be inclined to use one. OK, they are USELESS ok? is that what you wanted me to say? stare oh, and why would a jedi hunter would have a vibroblade, the lightsaber cuts the blade rolleyes Not if its made from Phrik or cortosis alloy.

Well, not for the amount of cash you have, at least. Well it can also be considered a personal yacht after all the CR-90 is also used as a pleasure ship. Automation can be handled through slave rigging which is not only possible for a ship this size but cheep. Size wise Talon Karrde uses a ship that size and needs no license.
