Heres a little trick against A Wing: ALWAYS target the Engine(or Reactor). When you just try to destroy the whole ship while its still moving it takes longer. i always go for the Engine and when its disabled i move to the next Target till all of them are disabled, then i finish them off. Works great.



That too. If you leave craft disabled too long they destroy themselves and you get bupkis, but this is a *very* good way to speed up swarm missions where you're more concerned about surviving/completing the mission than loot.

The A-wing issupposed to be THE most advancedinterceptor so it should be very fast and manouverable, what are you trying to kill it in? Not a bomber I hope.


Tie interceptors are just as hard to hit (infact they are faster so they can be harder at high levels), if they nerf A-wings they should nerf those too. Also dont forget rebels have to deal with the agressor which has a NASTY rear turret.


Anyway, all NPC ships are to fast, its like they have perminant boosters and they do not share the same strengths and weaknesses as player ships, e.g. weaker armor or shields with a fast engine etc (basicly the AI cheats becuase they were unable to get it to work right in beta)

I fly a TIE advanced, with the tier 3 "cygnus" engine and I can chase Awings tier 4 easily, of course I use engine overload (max speed near 1200 before booster, lasts until you land or die, anyone can use it) and know how to fly my ship (throttle).


tier 5 awings give me some problems but won't, as soon as I can use engine overload 4.


I haven't used a single command since crawling into the virtual cockpit. Maybe I should give myself an "edumacation."

couldn't even launch in space without a fully loaded flight computer, u can at lower levels, but from tier 3 to master, it's just like you cut your success chances by half.
