so, considering the given explanation of that... it should be an agility bonus not a warp-speed bonus?

One word: NYX

The 12 parsecs quote is about the 18 parsec route in star wars known as the kessel run. Han manipulated space-time (Star wars space-time, not real space-time) by flying very close to the maw, using it's unique geography to shorten the distance. If you wished to translate this to eve it would probably be a probe bonus or a mass reduction when entering w-space since the closest thing EvE has to the maw is w-space.

This is the problem with Star Wars fanatics. At least Christopher Lloyd had the humor and decency to admit that Doc Brown's "1.21 JIGGAWATTS" was simply a pronunciation mistake that nobody bothered to correct during filming. The parsecs quote can't be fixed or explained away through retcon. Call it what it is, actors saying the wrong thing back in the 70's because that's what somebody wrote down wrong, back in the 70's.

That is my stock light lowsec freighter. It will go right through the Gondista gate camp with a beer3 handicap, beer2 if Callum is there in an interdictor.

I always kind of think of it as a Mellenium Falcon.

Actually, if you take Quantum Physics into consideration, the statement you are attempting to debunk is theoretically true, flying close to black holes theoretically causes a distortion of time and space (or what we call time and space) to a degree that time passes differently for you than it does everyone else...and at different rates, depending on how close to it you are...as well as space being more dense, etc.

*takes off the dork glasses and removes the pocket protector...*

Could also travel fast enough to get relativistic speeds ( and not relativistic speeds as well , see the ISS crew aging 0.007 seconds less over 6 months than us ) with out entering hyper-whatever

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

So FAIL!

Technically speaking, (played a bit of PnP Star Wars a long time ago), the falcon is a Freighter, Corellian in design, YT-1300 in designation. That's fairly close to Caldari in origination, as Corellia has a primarily Capitalist social structure, with a great deal of focus on industry and manufacturing.

The Falcon itself is an upgraded retrofit version of the YT-1300 and has a Hyperdrive capable of 1.5x standard speed for a good ship. It's highly maneuverable and has twin turbo-laser turrets, top and bottom,which fire in a 360 degree arc around the ship with an elevation of approximately -5 degrees to 45 degrees. It also has a custom fit turret under the cockpit, which I'm sure many are familiar with, as added defense.

Good shields provide most of the defense against incoming fire, along with a higher than average maneuverability. It's agility is beyond what most would expect of a ship of this class, and is the result of many retrofit parts that have been added over the years. Beyond that, there is very little special about the Millenium Falcon, save that it is still running after all this time.


I'd personally go with Caldari with regard to the original design, and consideration for it having been passed around through Pirate Factions in one fashion or another, then having ended up in Minmatar hands after all.

If you take GD seriously, you're gonna have a bad time.

The Kessel run, AFAIK, is a question of how close to the black hole cluster of The Maw you dare go - and is not a question of actors getting it wrong. Lucas might have got it wrong, but if so he retcon'd it pretty quickly; and as he's the originator of the Star Wars universe...

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.
