Q: Why is this ship crewless?CG_M: Unlike the droid ships which really don’t have a separate pilot, the BTL-B Y-wing would normally have had a pilot but we ended up not including crew. There was a long discussion on whether we should include an older, well owned clone. In the end, we decided to make it easier to unlock by not requiring crew members from your collection. Imho that was the wrong decision. I lost interest in this ship already before I had finished reading the whole post. This is completely out of lore in a way that would not be necessary, just for the little "benefit" of not gearing up another potential pilot. :(

Somehow I knew there would be a complaint about this.

Absolutely not. Pilots requirements is what kills ships. Removing pilots will allow people to invest way more into ships than previously where people did not want to spend resources are useless characters just for ships

I bet you would complain if you were given $10,000 dollars in $10s and not $100s.

You're trying to be funny but that's just lame. I don't complain very often btw, even defended some of the developers' recent decisions, but not this one.

The game really isn't too strong on logic and lore in the first place so that argument is moot.

Yeah........hell I saw that it didn't require a crew member and I got excited to farm it. Don't get me wrong, I have all current clones at G12, (501st) at R2, so if they'd released it for Echo or someone id be more happy...but the fact they aren't releasing a new "Clone Pilot" that's got an okay kit but not that good that I'll have to gear up before the ship is with it? Yeah no...I'd rather just level up a ship.

I get that it's not staying with the way they've always done ships and that's weird...but I personally am very happy to see this.

I think you're confusing clones with Porkins...
