If the comments from Carrie about Sith Assassin piloting the new Sith Fighter are true, it is a major continuity fail. Sith Assassins made their first appearance in KOTOR 2 and had nothing to do with Darth Malak or the ships his forces flew at Rakata Prime. They were tied to the Triumvirate from KOTOR 2 which never had access to the Foundry. Plus, the model for the Sith Assassin isn’t even from KOTOR 2. It’s from The Old Republic MMO, which is set 300 years AFTER the events of the KOTOR games. Maybe I’m missing something and the SA will be piloting a different ship than the one mentioned in the starwars.com story. If not, this makes no sense.

Makes more sense. SA has no business in that ship. Might as well have Nihilus Pilot the Millennium Falcon.

When you can put 5 Hans in the same squad, continuity went out the window Long Long time ago.Like seriously, you’re playing with your holographic character in a holographic ship, on a holographic table, in a make believe world...

Sith Assassin should not pilot Sith Fighter

(1) Where did Carrie make these comments?

(2) Eh. It makes about as much sense to me than having FOST actually be a pilot on Kylo Ren's ship or SRP on Bistan's. If we're very strict about lore, then yeah, you have a point that the Sith assassins, though founded by Revan, didn't seem to really surface until the time of the Sith Triumvirate. But on the other hand, I guess I'm seeing assassin and marauder more broadly as stand-ins for the many Sith or dark Jedi that fought in both the Jedi Civil War and kotor 2's Dark Wars. And if Jedi sometimes fought in starfighters, maybe sith/dark Jedi did too?

I never saw Assassin mentioned in the starwars.com article.

I'm guessing a new pilot will be announced as Assassin, like the OP says, would be way off...

I didn't see a mention of SA piloting a Sith fighter. Maybe that got removed at some point?

And well, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt that she's talking about the characters of Nihilus, Sion, and Traya. Yes, the raid is terrible, but as far as I know, players loved getting those characters. I know I did (at least for DN and Sion; Traya is years away if ever for me).

At least an FO Stormtrooper might have actually been on Kylo’s shuttle at some point. At least the ship existed in the same century. Same with SRP and U-wing. The Sith Assassin in SWGOH is from 300 years after the events of KOTOR. The ship they are about to release was built at an ancient force-powered space factory that was destroyed at the end of KOTOR. The Sith from The Old Repupic weren’t even tangentially related to Darth Revan or Darth Malak. They were part of Vitiate’s empire directly descended from the ancient Sith with red skin.

And again, the Sith Assassins that were in KOTOR 2 didn’t even use lightsabers. They consciously chose to include the version from three centuries later.

My favorite part was where she said the Jedi needed a dedicated healer. Someone tell her about Barriss and Hermit Yoda. She clearly doesn’t remember they exist. Jedi need DPS, not another healer.

It was funny, when I saw new Jedi coming I was like "man, it'd be so stupid if they come as healers, Jedi have like a hundred healers, even Jedi consular counts, Ahsoka even heals". And then what happens is they get another healer. Darkside has like none of them and lightside gets another.

From what I've seen, they have mixed Kotor, Kotor2, and TOR up. The Lore for all three has been blended already so much in this game. Though, I won't mind a team with the Exile and Revan as one. Make a team of Exile, Revan, Traya, Nihilus, Malak :D...

Though its funny that Nihilus is with Traya, considering Nihilus just wanted to wipe out all existence, all Traya wanted to do was wipe out all Force.. Course its not like this game could support a planet wiping out sith, man Nihilus should just own everyone.

I kinda just wanna say who cares.... going to be probably a year before you could even max it and if you could is it meta worthy..... in a year when i would have it maxxed it won't be....so you could put CUP in the ship...

The only way to get people to even care about these new ships is to make them super OP or part of a legendary or something.... like landos gimmick falcon..... yeah looks cool but who cares... battles over in 30 seconds don't help a ship who's gimmick is get's all the buffs of other reinformcements or something... meh

(I take that back on a new ship shard that might actually be worth it)

I don't know meh

But marquee releases with single node farms...meh who cares....by the time you farm it...worthless then again look how awesome kylo and reaper hard node farms are.....lol worthless (well not totallY)

EDIT....

Actually I would rather see CUP get the sith Ship just to see Crumb have to come explain something having to do with SITH and not the 50 pages being ignored on the Sith Raid
