Anyone have any ideas on a ship to sort of role play in as the "slave 1"? Been wanting to get in to a bounty hunter role play kind of thing. If you know any other famous bounty hunter ships let me know as well so I can pick from a few!

Didn't that have a vertically stacked cockpit? Maybe some version of an Asp so at least that matches? No ship in Elite looks anywhere close to the SW ship. I'd think a Diamondback or Cobra may have more of the feel though.

Size and weapons capability was my choice with the fas... But nothing flies vertical like you say

I'm just looking size and capabilities wise, the aesthetics are way too far off lol.

I would think a DBS has the stealth of Slave-1, which is pretty much the only exhibited characteristic of it, other than the ability to load one frozen human. Though I suppose if you are looking for a flying space iron shape, any of the Federal bricks would do.

The Python is best if you want a multirole ship, whilst the FAS is great for combat, but if you want the archetypal bounty hunter you should also consider the FDL. Whilst far more limited in what it can do, for me the FDL has always said "lone bounty hunter".

I agree xebeth, the fdl is a better fit, just looked up the cost. Didn't know it was in the same bracket as the python. It's the new goal for me now. I'll probably grab the fas to replace the dbs I'm currently in and use it to grind to fdl
