Looks more like jealousy to me, I never grind cash and dont have a crafter. I earn all my cash in space right now. After doing about 2 tier4 duties a day for a while I managed to save enough money to buy a Firespray. It costed me 6m.
Why, when he can do SW and gain the thing for resources?
You know how much I spent on my decimator, NOTHING.
Oppressor NOTHING.
FIRESPRAY NOTHING.
And to be honest they really need to nurf space money grinding.

My opinion on the matter is more on in favor of convergence only since i know the B-wing is just as bad...
Ship profile does matter....larger ships are easier to hit than small ones....i have a very hard time hitting ties, and an easy time hitting the decimator..heh
And the Firespray is NOT the rich man's ship by any means..don't blame the players for thier buying the 20 mil ships...its the economies fault...those of us who played since launch remember the good days where credits were hard to come by....

Enemies will hit you as easily in an interceptor as they would in a firespray, and in PvP, the game comes down to who tracks who on their radar first, basically. Then it's a head-on chicken fight.
I easily own A-Wing Players in my firespray, so I believe the whole large target things is out of the window.
Oh, and killing ships FULL of players is fun! Look out YT-1300's!
you obviously don't know what you're talking about. having a larger ship profile does make you a easiertarget to hit. yes a intercepter is harder to hit then a firespray, yes a awing is harder to hit then a firespray, yes shooting at the broadside of a barn is easier to hit then shooting at an egg. but by being a good pilot you learn how to not get hit then and can compensate for the larger ship profile.
if you're beating awings in your firespray its because a) you can take more damage b) you have a lot more firepower c) the pilots of the awings must really be bad pilots to be dead on a head to head pass...

the problem described her is nothing to do with the fire spray and how it it it the lack of gun convergence thatsa problem on several ship thet have guns on the outbord wings . the dunlizards have but not quite as bad as others due to shorter wings the xwing is badcan be hind a reg tie fighter at 150m fire and have all guns mis him dispite hes in the middle of the reticle the shots just go around him, the bwing also has athe convegence prob to with its out board guns too. and believe it or not this is why the ywings are slow but one of the best ship its guns fire down the middle if anything i can see if they converge 200m out then you can adjust his with skill and hit things but as it is now aiming with ships that have gun on outbord wings is hard to do when combating smaller vessels. this is a fundemental prob with mutiple ships and really nothing to do with the firespray alone and alot of posts her are irelevant to the prob that really needs to be addresed

Of course I do that. At close range I can manage to have one of my two guns hitting the target, just can't have both of them hitting it the same time.

Just curious, Those of you having problems hitting small ships where your guns are spread wide. Are you twisting your ship (rudder controls) or using basic controls to get the best angle on your target?
I know I was having a hard time hitting anything untill I learned to twist.

If you have problems with the "accuracy" of the Firespray (which I do not; I love it, personally), try firing both your weapons at the same time, assuming your capacitor can handle it.
I find it difficult to *miss* in my firespray even from distances exceeding the cursor render.

Yeah, the Firespray is difficult to get used to at first. But once you do, it's awesome.
Remember to rotate the ship to get both weapons firing along the plane of where your enemy is going. It's not as easy to get used to as the ships that have 1 hard point for multiple guns (ie, TIE Adv or Bomber), but once you do, it can pack quite the wallop.
Benefits: More mass than a TIE bomber, handles as well as a TIE Interceptor.
Downside: Convergance issue, large target profile.
Remedies: Get used to it, and get a BIG shield.
