So let me get this straight,

you guys want something like 150K mass T/A's. Nevermind that its fast, corners really well and is highly manuverable, but because another ship has that mass, you think you should have it too?

Frankly i think imperial pilots should be glad they can use shields AT ALL and hyperdrive. You have any idea how much sony's already strayed from the SW universe in the name of gameplay?

>>Generally true, but this way the guy with the 'advantage' wins every time. That' s what sucks about PVP. It's not about skill, it's all about what numbers you are pulling.

Oh and sorry, PvP in space is not about any numbers. Sure some ships handle differenly than others, but ultimatly its the skill and abilty of the pilot (yea, you the guy with the joystick!) that determines who wins or loses in a dogfight. I should also add, that each ship has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you, the pilot to be able to take advantage of your strengths, and your opponents weaknesses.

Is he slow? Are your fast? Does he have to cut throttle to 1/3rd to turn? DO you only have to cut throttle by only 25% to turn?

It's still about numbers in space. If you are fighting a guy who is GREAT at flight sims and he's only in Tier 2, and you are Tier 4, you will still win, because your numbers are better...

But I guess you can't PVP until later though, right? As in, theoretically, everyone's on the same 'level' right? Never PVP'ed in space, I'm only 3-4-3-3 and progressing VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY slowly...

I fly the lowest massed ship in the game, I love it, and really don't have a problem with it. It was actually a challange to outfit it in order to become useable. Mass is logical, big brick more stuff, tiny little pixie less stuff. Oh I fly the A-wing.
