I think that the amount of massmight be the reason for you liking the Ixy more. The mass on my Dunelizard is at 86k (post mass increase patch) which means you can add more fun stuff like bigger blasters and shields. I would have kept that Rhxxyxxyxxyxxkkk if it wasn't for that 3 ship maximum and the Firespray

And that may be a factor. See, I don't care about PVP. I'm not a PVP person. If I was, I'd have gone to one of the two factioned pilotting Trees and also gone faction on the ground.
My thing is PVE. Some people don't see PVE as fun, and that's their call. I'm of the camp that doesn't see PVP as fun though, and that's my call. Maybe that's why I like my Ix better.
Incindentally, my Dune only had about 68K Mass, and that may have been one of the reasons why I like the Ix soooo much better with it's 96K Mass. I'm running 95K on it right now and want to upgrade to better armor, hence the Rihx that I'm hoping will be waiting for me when I get home, lol.

Yeah, the Firespray replaced the Rihk for me as well, thus she took her name with a "II" added.

I love my dunelizard! I never flew anything else during missions since I was able to fly a duney. I tried a Rhix, but it was too slow and bulky for my tastes. I like speed, and lots of it. Everything in my duney is RE'd for the best possible performance, except a disruptor and shields. I will never get rid of this ship.

I have to confess, I've upgraded to my Rihx and I love it. =)
I dunno, it doesn't handle *quite* as well as my Ix, but it can take a better beating, and with 3 scorchers it can dish it out too.
Tier 4 Ships usually blow in 2 shots, Tier 5's take may 4 shots.

I am a big Mandal Motors fan,..I am the happy owner of a Krayt and my project ship Dunelizard which I have renamed "XF-4 Dragonet" to reflect its modification to the interceptor role. Nothing but sheilds, engine, and gun. I was unfortunate to miss out on the 92 reward engine so I bounce between a 101 speed that was created with only mid-level PYR and a 88 speed with PYR in the 70's. Still gathering parts for a reengineer, but with 1 lvl 8 gun with a nice 3.7k max damage it still punches holes through a lot of things.
I redeeded my yacht so I could pull my Dune back out after I made master. I painted in "Jungle Camo" same as my gunship.
If any ship actually looks like a ship its the style 1 dune. It screams fighter plane,...and thats what I love about it most.

Yes, I got very lucky to get a 108.4 speed, 75 PYR, 26k mass engine that now has its home in my Dunelizard. I run with no armor, just shields and guns.
Awings and Interceptors are no threat to me.

I notice a lot of the fast interceptor type ships in game run with no armor. I mean, in pvp it really doesn't matter cause once your shields are down your space debris. I have only started to put things into my Dune and haven't taken it out for a spin. Does the excess speed (and I do plan to Engine Overload 3) prevent you from being as easy to hit i n PVE?

Actually, yes it does. The Tier 5 Aggressor's rear turret actually missed about half the time.
I would roll and spiral away from it, and it couldn't hit me. So, it missed about 75% actually.

I guess I better start lurking in kessel some more. Although I seem to loot more frequently around endor..the quality leaves much to be desired.

For a long time until I hit master my ship combo was my Kihraxz and my Dunelizard. Right before master I found that I needed something heavier than the Dune for the Vette so I added a Rihkyrk and made it a trio. I finally got master and replace my Rihkyrk with my YT. That became my combo for a while. It worked well. I'd fly my Kihraxz unless I needed the extra firepower from my Dune and would fly my YT with friends. Then patch 11.5 came and I was introduced to the Krayt. A ship with 220k mass, 3 weapon mounts for the pilot, and moves with unbelievable agility for a ship it's size, it won me over quite quickly. Sadly, this made the Dune the odd man out. I have my Kihraxz for speed, my YT for flying with friends and finally my Krayt for when I simply have to waste every piece of scum in space. If only I had 4 ship spots
