Thanks. I guess it didn't occur to me that slowing down would make you turn faster. That helps a Lot.
I don't really like the heavy ships. They look like big, ugly boats.
I want a Kihraxz. I can't get one yet, but everyone keeps telling me mass is the only thing that matters.
So what's the point of having light fighters if everyone is just going to end up flying the same two or three ships in the end?

Isold my ixiyen the same day i bought it, I thought it would be a better fighter than my dunelizard, which it was, but it was still just not good enough so im back with the more surviveable rhixyrk. I think what i like least about the neuteral fighters is their acceleration rates seem to be backwards. If you take a light fighter and jam the throttle to full it takes a good 3 seconds for it to reach full throttle, whereas the heavy appears to throttle up and down faster. This to me makes the feathering of the throttle for turning less effective. And compared to my tie interceptor which throttles up and down almost as fast as you want it to, its hard to get used to.

What server do you play on?
I run a Kimo, at 3,4,3,3 and have no problems....except against stupid turrets.
Staying with the Kimo until I get the Rickshaw or whatever that tier 4 Black Sun ship is called. lol
I tried the Black Sun Light Fighter, and it just didn't have a good enough punch for me. Guess I am better in heavy fighters.
Also...If you can handle Tier 1 and the occasional tier 2, go out to either the derelict station around Tat (star something or other...I'm at work...can't remember) or Black Venom POIs. Loads of tier 1 ships to vape.
