Is there any way for a Rebel on ground and rebel pilot (3333) to get the interceptor (Jedi starfighter?) without having to regrind pilot?



Grinding pilot is a pain in the a$$. I want the ship. No fair that Imperials get the best faction pet (ATST) AND the best fighter.


/sigh


I'm willing to drop ground faction but to regrind pilot? Giving the rebsthe crap 170 ship when the imps get the Interceptor make me


Please, make my day and tell me that if I go imp on the ground I don't have to drop my rebel pilot boxes!

Sorry. Resigning from the Rebel ground forces will automatically strip you of your Rebel pilot skills.

The Jedi Starfighter is the best, I wouldnt drop Imp and go reb for the ARC 170. I would rather have speed over Power.

You need to speak to the Queen of Naboo in Theed Palace.

I've read that you need to be a rebel combatant for her to speak to you, I was when I did the quest.

Just make sure you're not combatant when you travel to the imperial prison on dath, unless you want a fight.

I've taken people up in my nova courier a number of times to man the guns, my job as pilot has always just been to fly the ship in a mostly straight line so my gunners can get their sights. With the huge shields I can place in my nova its never an issue for me to take a few hits while the gunners do their jobs.

But with the ARC-170 its a different matter.

I took 2 guildies up earlier and the best description of the flight for them was afk xp grinding in space. The ARC-170 fly's like my a-wing, I can throw it in tight turns and never let a target out of my sights. Because of the maneuverability of the ship there's never the chance to do a deep banking turn that will let my gunners get their sights, by the time they've realized that there's a target to aim at I'll be on its tail firing my forward guns.

I've ditched the guns from the turrets in my ARC-170 & replaced it with a bigger gun up front. Its basically a souped up a-wing now with a bigger gun

Me being a freelancer pilot, the ARC170 is one of the fastest craft aviable to me.


With a 112 spd engine, /ethrust and boosters it goes 1658, and remains very maneuverable. The only downside it has is the (mis)placement of the forward gun. It takes a little practice to hit something with it, and TIEs and other small craft are very hard to hit.


On the other side, I think the 2 aft turrets could more than make up for that, if I ever get 2 volunteers to gun for me. But that's something plaguing all MP ships.

Thanks Naruto, just the answer I've been looking for. /sigh oh well, stinks that us freelancers don't get an MP ship to use until we're master pilots. Was looking forward to the possibility of having one at 4xxx as a freelancer. It says I'm certified to use one. We should be able to tradeany of the new ships, sell them, buy them, etc.


The funny thing is I have not completed the quest for Vader and can still use my ETA Actis. I just haven't completed the final missions of saving Kashyyyk from the rebel fleet. I totally stink when it comes to killing gunboats so I have to get a group together to help me take out the final rebel gunboats and transports. I have to admit, it is a very cool quest. Just one that I cannot solo.
