Which ship is most like the Gremlin, Pacer or Vega, and why?
TL;DRBoth speakers say the Aurora is the ship most like the Gremlin, valuing character and attachment over ability, as a little ship you come to love.
Aurora, I guess.
Aurora, yeah. It's got to be the Aurora. It's the little ship you have no reason to love, but you will. It's got character, and someday when you're 50 ships deep, you're going to remember your first Aurora with its cramped little cockpit.
Honestly, that's easily the most important thing to me. I want character more than ability. I have no interest in being the Red Baron or being the best pilot out there. I want a ship that has character, that's instantly recognizable, and something I can point to and say, that's Lando's.
One of the most difficult decisions, certainly in my life, and I assume in many people's lives, was selling your Tarsus in the original Privateer, because you can never get it back. I mean, it's a piece of crap, to put it mildly, but it was your grandfather's ship that was left to you, and you're going to trade it in for a spiffy new Centurion? It's a tough call.
