Sucky rates for the KSE, get at least a decent lvl 8 engine with rates in the 70's or even a very good lvl 10 one with rates in the 80's and you can solo anything in PVE.
*Edit* I also do PVP with my Firespray, its very agile with a good engine, the p/y rates of the chassis are 1.7 only roll sucks a bit with the 0.9 but you get used to that.

/agree
PvP outcomes are better determined by maneuverability, not how quickly you can get away. Unless you're flying with a 103 speed engine on engineoverload3 AND burning a booster, you are NOT going to get away before an A-wing scores a hit on your tail (believe me, I've done it, with varied success:smileytongue
It's better to sacrifice top speed a bit to get at least another 5 points higher in YPR.

Whoever told you that.... She lied 
The Firespray is a decent ship. Especially with a good YPR Engine (YPR in the range of 75->80 and more). but comparing it with a TIE Bomber? O_o LOL? The TIE-Bomber and the B-Wing are the worst ships out there when it comes to stearing and acceleration/deceleration!

Would you guys say that a KSE Firespray will make kills quicker than an X-Wing in PvE? Obviously you have more mass to load up better blasters. I'm using the pre-nerf 92.2 spdreward engine with Engine Overload 3, would the Firespray kill faster in PvE than the X-Wing with this combo and better weapons? or is the handling going to make killing slower?

No, the X-Wing is by far the best Fightervessel. 3 Weapons, 1Ordenance...
Yes i know, someone will now say "But i can´t put lvl9 Weapons in there, I dont have the mass"
But: You wont NEED to
2x lvl7 and a 1x lvl5/6/7 Weapon with a Cheap capacitor and Cap over3(4) and Weapon over 3(4) will kill everything and anyone within seconds... (okay, aside from the capital ships like SD or Vette).

You use the xwing to take out the ISD? I thought rebs used the awing to solo the ISD to avoid getting hit by it.

Depends. Usually i take the shields with normal weaponary (easy targets) also the Engine (THE Most easy target) and the rest i usually bomb away... especially the Reactor... most guns hit ya when you fly towards it...

i dont have a firespray yet, but i plan on it.
my biggest concern being how fat it's @$$ is. every time i fight one i just look to pop it in the rear.

If you are a fairly good pilot, you can learn to handle the KSE well.
Other than convergence and sliding reticle issues, I'm pretty happy with mine,
amd have it configured for all around balance between offensive and defensive capabilities.

Ya but I couldnt even follow Tier 5 movements in it, which I can with my Advanced in ~930 speed. In the KSE I got shot all the time, and they hardly missed :/
I wouldnt say Im a bad pilot, but I really didnt like the KSE, so I gonna swopp it for an Oppressor, much cheaper, more agile (i think).
Also the cannons were too far away from each otherto hit an A-Wing
