>=O i get droid programs second! do not underestimate the power of droid commands (other than rebel ones..they suck ) (couldnt we at least get shield overload? )

I mastered freelancer, and always went for equipment first, since the dunelizard could take the gear. Tier 4 I went for ships first, level 8 gear is not that often around, and crafted level 9 you only get certed for at master.


As Imperial (4333 now), I went gear-ships-droid-special skillsat tier 2, then droid-gear-special skills-ships at tier 3. In my honest opinion, the boost you get from using level three droid programs (engine overload, weapon overload, shunt cap to shield, capacitor overload) outweighs the boost you can get from using level 7 gear first.


As an aside, I'd go for max strength on shields, with cap to shield and capacitor overload you can regen shields fast enough.


Armor, I'd say mount some in pve, but mount at least mark II in pvp.

what about this for an idea, i make a really powerful TIE Bomber and stick 2 powerful lasers and protons in it, then i fly straight at the gunboat targeting the weapons, but just before im in range i set up the hyperspace to send me somewhere else (perhaps near a spacestation) when i get within range i unload a few missiles and lasers to do some dmg (hopefully it wont do much dmg to me) and after a few seconds i hyerpspace out, repair if needed and then repeat until destroyed, is this a possible tactic to use?

nah, you could try staying about 550 from it, alone, the guns wont shoot ya at that range, but you can shoot em


dont use protons!


to be quite honest! image rec missiles are much more effective. (IMO at least)
