Talk about a cool ship! It'd be great to see it in the game, but it'd be on a scale similar to the Millenium Falcon, which might make it a hard sell.

And yes, pirates could be quite awesome. Tie Fighters with rebel symbols on them, or the TIE-X, a horrible amalgam of X-Wing and Tie Fighter parts, as well as any number of other smaller or lesser-known ships...
