Well it would do good if pob ships had shields and secondary shields (which should be introduced for them ) handeld like the ones on the vette . They should be each at spot and exactly that spot has to be hit to damage them . Hitting the ship somewhere should do nothing.
nah, this would be a lil too much i think.
To be successful in a POB ship in PvP, it's all about outfitting.
Install the largest POB shields you can >3000 str, and teach your copilot how to angle and shunt them correctly
Install the highest PYR level 10 engine you can get your hands on, and be able to engage optimal throttle posistion or max throttle as needed.
Install the fastest-refiring level 10 guns you can find.
Install 2 - 3 (depending on model) Image Rec 2 missile launchers with the packs experimented for refire rate (thus reducing the lock-time)
Learn to dogfight in a starfighter with high PYR, then learn to translate that to a ship the size of a medium Naboo.
My crew and I chased a Jedi Starfighter across Deepspace in my Nova last night. Not only were we able to out-turn him (although narrowly, he had a great L10 engine but ours was slightly better), but it took him more than a dozen shots to get through our front shields. Once our gunner tagged him and fried most of our systems, I assumed he was disabled and got lazy turning around to finish him off. He landed a shot on our rear shield, which had been angled to extreme front, and fragged us in an instant. Still, it was a great dogfight between a beheamoth and a speck of space dust. How my gunner hit him when I was twisting the Nova all over the place, I'll never know.

There aint no such thing as a fast firing level 10 gun. The refire rates on all of them suck big-time.
I highly recommend POB null-bolt blasters with a .250 refire rate and a VS. shields and armor of at least .540 to .560. These things give you a HUGE boost in firepower. They often have a lower energy per shot than a level 10 gun as well.
Ah, well, keeping in the context, in this case "fastest" is relatave, whereas "fast" would have been absolute. The fastest Level 10 gun you can find means, relative to other level 10 guns. A fast Level 10 gun would imply a more absolute standard on par with smaller, faster weapons.
That said, a .25 speed ship weapon is still pretty fast. You're pushing the threshold of how fast the average player with an average stick can refire the button anyway

If they're to become the Jedi of space, does that mean they get two entire publishes devoted to them, and are given precendence over Squad Leader/Commando/Droid Engineer/... and so forth?
