Hey there,
Need some advice on what bubble to train next.
Currently im 3/3/3/3 Imperial Inquisition.
What do you recommend:
Scenario A:
Go 4/3/3/3 and get the next level ships and proceed to equip my old gear into one of them.
(if i go this way which ship should i get. ive been using the bomber since i was certed for it and preffer the heavy ships.)
Scenario B:
Go 3/4/3/3 and get access to better items for my faithful Bomber?
Thanks Ahead of time.

The later for sure. Your bomber will be vastly better with faster engines and bigger guns to compliemt all that mass, while a new ship would only provide what you have now with less space.
That's my experience anyway!

I'd go with the equipment upgrade. It's no good getting a shiny new ship if you're running with the same old components. Save the credits and take the Bomber all the way to master if you prefer it.

Getting Bomber Strike 2 is RIGHT UP THERE. So is getting the TIE advanced. (Two lower-tiered guns are way better than bigger guns. Also, the TIE advanced can't take most high tier equipment anyway, so better equipment isn't necessarily useful. If you keep your Bomber, you can improve some equipment.) I'd wait on the other two. The Tier4 programs are power hungry. Your special ability is difficult to apply.
If nothing else, don't get Bomber Strike 2 last. You *WILL* need it.

im 400k away from making the decision. im leaning towards the Equip since i fly in decent sized groups so Bomber Strike isnt as important atm, and i still have 60k of mass to fill on the bomber.
thanks fellas.

Go TIE Advanced. The second gun you can mount will double your firepower anyway, and since the tier 4 gear box only nets you level 8 gear you would have to have some looted stuff to upgrade. Not to mention that getting used to a TIE Advanced will help you in pvp for Deep space later.

I recommend you sit tight and give all your stuff to a fellow guild mate.

Tie Bomber is the best ship you can get prior to master as imperials. (For PvE that is..) 190k mass plus 2 forward weapon points to mount guns. Drop a great engine in your Tie Bomber and some great shields and mount 2 of the best guns you can get and you'll chew up anything in front of you.
I almost think it would be more appropriate for the Tie bomber to be a tier 4 reward and move the tie aggressor to tier 3 but the tier 3 missions are hard enough without taking that away!

I stayed with the Advanced through Tier 4. I like killin A-Wings. With a nice engine the Advanced was perfect for it. As far as the order went I just took it across the board. It really didn't matter to me in the order. You would be hard pressed to do any of the Tier 4 missions by your self anyways.It's the group you take with you that matters. I finished Tier4 with a few friends and their Oppressors while I stayed in my Advanced. Between boxes we would FP grind in Kessel and get XP then get the next mission. FinishedTier 4that night.Yes, you could do it with your Bomber or a Tie/In for that matter. Just take a few good friends with you.

I never liked my bomber.
