wow... those ppl should cancel their accounts, because they have been shamed beyond all reparation.
im sorry, but an a-wing will literally fly circles around a KSE... if you manage to lose with an advantage like that your either a noob or a geek. or both.

Well i finally got the KFC Chickenspray this weekend. Flew it around for abit.
I only saw minor improvments/differiation over the T/O and krayt in handling:
- seems like it has a *slightly* faster cornering speed. (just by feel, can't prove it)
- Accel/decel seems a tinsy bit faster. (again, feel, can't prove it)
- Slides around a little less.
Other than that, i really don't have anything good to say.
Chassis YPR accleration rates are same is T/O and krayt, the only variation seems to be in speeds, and these variations are MINOR.
I don't see how this ship is worth the 7-10 million pricetag.

Now that is something I can definately agree with. Don't get me wrong, I love my FireSpray. But I was lucky enough to have a very nice guildie who hooked me up with a straight trade for some rare loots. Probably came out to costing roughly 2 million in trade at best.
So, is the Firespray a worthy vessle? I think so, I enjoy it and it's one of my favorite ships in-game currently.
Is the FireSpray worth 5-7 imllion? Nah, I don't think anything should cost that much honestly. If it wasn't such a pain in the butt to get the schematic the cost on these things would drop significantly. Why do people charge that much? Because people will pay that much!

Having been an Ace of all 3 factions, I've flown the best, and worst, their is to offer. The Firespray is well, terrible, to say the least. It is horrible to look at in 3rd person(I like flying that way) and is slow and sluggish, even with a decent engine. Its mass is the ONLY redeeming quality, but Freelancers get the Kryat, which is better in every way to the FS. As a Rebel Ace I made do with the X Wing, or if heavy mass was REALLY needed, the B Wing.(Gets too much abuse, its not all that bad.) Imperial was Oppresor all the way, awesome ship, still small enough and good enough to fly with the best, but has some excellent mass. I love my Interceptor though I can't lie. CAN'T wait for the Royal Guard Version. Faster, better at turning, and more mass. My dream

1 question.
Why do you use the interceptor?
The Advanced has exactly the same stats just with 1 extra gun and 15k more mass.

Two reasons (possibly 3 ):
1.) Its slighly harder to get EO4 running on a T/A because of the higher power drain from 2nd gun. and easier the in T/I
2.) The bolt spread in a T/I is advantagous. Any one of them hit you do full damage. A T/A's gun placement demands a high degree of accuracy that is hard to acheive in a fast turning fight when your opponent is little more than a blur. Where as the gunplacment on the T/I doesnt demand as high a degree of accuracy.
3.) Can't prove it but it seems like the T/I is slighly harder to hit than a T/A.

Well 3 is flat out wrong, the Advanced is smaller than the Interceptor.
As for 1, you dont have to put another gun in, you could just put a better engine or shield in there.

The honest reason why I fly an Intercepter over the Advanced... I just like the look of it! It's just so damn Imperial. It feels like Star Wars to me. Always been my favorite ship since as far back as the TIE Fighter game on Win95.
I've done a nice loadout on an advanced, but I'm more proud oif flying an Intercepter with countermeasures, armour, and even a launcher while still being able to mount a 2740 max dam blaster.

2740? hahaha my x-wing has 2 guns that both hit 3500+ on it
when i outfit my a-wing it gets my best gun, my 3900 max. of course it takes up almost half the mass.... so i dont wear armor. in pvp its all but useless anyways when one or two shots kill you.
but then again, your interceptor is way harder to hit than my x-wing....
sorry rag (still cant get the rest of your name right...) i didnt mean to harp your name up like that... i even hit the damned back button to try and remember it. but i failed apparently lol.
as for the accuracy thing... well i prefer the straight nose accuracy over the spread accuracy. give me a nice and easy lineup.
and as for the #3 being wrong (whoever said that)... well i disagree with you 
the T/A may be smaller... but all of its mass is clumped together in one ball. thats easy to hit. the T/I is thin and long, and it requires a more precise shot to hit it. i find that i can massacre the T/A in kessel but it takes me ages to take out a T/I simply because they are harder to hit (and i have a PCI grafix card... /sigh... /pointself... /declare noob...)

Actually the impressive thing is that with a maximum of 50k mass, ican generate 10k from my reactor, 14.7 on my Droid Interface, mount countermeasures, missles, in addition to armour front and back, 81.1 70YPR engine...
True XWing can pack a bigger punch, but XWing has 3 gun slots, Intercepter has 1. XWing has what.. 100k mass? Intercepter is 50k. AWings are jard to get under the reticle too, so I think they're pretty much the same size target as an intercepter. But realize most of our ships have half the mass as yours.
To get a 50k fighter able to perform in a survivabl;e fashion in Deep Space is no small undertaking for certain.
