Check the bubble canopied Z-95 in the original Corporate Sector sourcebook. I seem to recall that was an earlier model than the one in the main rulebook and had some differences. Speed may have been one of them.
My copy is an ocean away so I can't check it for you.  |

I think that's the newer Z-95 with the rectangular X-wing style canopy. Han Solo flew one with a bubble canopy in one of the Brian Daley novels and IIR they used those stats in the source book. |

Per the Han Solo & The Corporate Sector book, Mark I Z-95's had a Space of 5, while the version featured in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook had a Space of 7

Thanks! Like jmanski, I too thought it was slower than 7. |

The version in the CSA book is an older, single-seat fighter while the Z-95 in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook is a 2-seat trainer.

Actually, the stats in the Alliance book are for the single seat version, although the write-up mentions the two-seat trainer,

I stand corrected, the stats for BOTH a single seat Z-95 and a two-seat Z-95 trainer are in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook.
Those are both more likely newer models and/or modified from the Z-95 presented in the CSA Sourcebook. Since the Daley novels were set several years before Yavin.

You're right. I need to stop posting before I'm completely awake.

Perhaps the maintenance the rebels gave them all upped the speed..

Maintenance giving a 40% increase in speed? I wish my mechanic was that good.

Look for a plucky Twilek who escaped from a life of slavery and now wants to try and help bring freedom to the rest of the galaxy.  |

It depends on how badly the ships have been kept. 2 of our MTVRs when we were deployed 2 yrs ago had such poor MPG/rpm from poor maintenance, than when a good overhaul of the engine was done by Construction Mechanics, they guestimated almost 35% increase in efficiency..

IMO, this would be something more along the line of the difference between F-14A's with their relatively anemic TF-30 engines, and the later models with the more powerful F110 engines, in that the increased power came not from a better maintenance routine but a general system upgrade.
