Just to clarify, I know crafters craft them, but its likely that you need Faction Points to unlock using them (just a guess though)

also I said a pinnacle not the, just making that plain

NOOOOOOOOOO

That's rather cruel. I would have thought that the B-wing would have been pinnacle - not my beloved A-wing!

Well, any ideas on how many faction points that means? I really hope it's not in the 10,000 range - that would be crazy for anyone who is casual in their play style and doesn't like grinding Fp.

I don't think that reaching 10,000 Faction points will be all that difficult in JTL. If you are decent at working a flight sim, it shouldn't be to difficult...

I'm slightly better thendecent at working a flight sim - what worries me is that I'm absolutely crappy at finding wingmates/teams.

I'v already got myself around 3.5k Fp, but that all came from endlessly performing "destroy" missions from the Rebel base on Corellia... those were long, tedious days, considering each missions is about 50 Fp if I kill all the NPCs.

The reason that only astromech droids should be able to enhance ships... Think of a protocol droid:
"Oh, we're doomed!"
"I can't say how much I hate space travel!"
"The odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer..."
"This is all your fault!"
"But sir!"

Am I the only one who HATES these things to death? I think the devs should make them have better xp, for the time it takes to kill these buggers. C'mon! 43 FP? 6k xp? That is BS! Make them give atleast 7k xp and 50fp like the rest. Or make them go slower for that matter. Either way, I am sure I am not the only one who feels like avoiding A-Wings because of the speed they go at (I shoot at the hitbox, in the direct center, and I STILL don't hit them!) 6k xp makes them not worth killing them! Whenever I enter combat with an A-Wings (If they are in a group with X-Wings, Y-Wings, B-Wings, etc) I boost away from them!

i do agree interceptors should give more exp, but do NOT slow them down. Tie interceptors have a much smaller hitbox and sheilds, as they should, but tie fighters with a larger hitbox less guns and no sheilds shouldn't give more exp then interceptors, but i repeat, DO NOT slow them down or increase hitbox size.

The A-Wing is an Interceptor, it is suppose to be fast and hard to hit. Believe, I too get annoyed when dealing with A-Wings, but thats what they are built for.

Yeah, but they SHOULD give them more xp, still! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention TIE Interceptors

. 6k xp is just not worth it!

Oh I hate the little things, but I wouldn't support eliminating them or giving more XP or FP though. They're a pain - but they serve a purpose in the bigger scheme of things. They draw fire and hopefully allow their heavy weapon ships (X Wings, B Wings, etc) time to attack you.

I use to love getting A Wing wings during missions which involved multiple wings - because the A Wings gave me a chance to rest - they don't hit for much and have no missles, so if an A Wing wave was launched I'd kill a few, but when the next B Wing wave launched, I'd ignore the A Wings until the heavy ships were taken out.

Yeah, they're a pain - but I'm sure if you could get the Rebel A Wing eliminated, then the Rebels would want the Tie Agressor eliminated because that's a giant pain for them.

All a matter of perspective though I suppose

Umm, Im a rebel, but those Awings flitting around Kashyyk space are easy to kill! In an Xwing, which is nowhere near as manouverable as Imperial fighters.

If your an Imperial, why dont you fly a Interceptor or Advanced, both these ships are more manouverable than my Awing, and a heavily modified Oppressor will be more than a match for any NPC Awings out there.

I wont tell you to go get a BSF/JSF/Heavy starter. But if you want to cheat your way through, be my guest. Its just like a playstation game then, up, down, left, up, left, left, down, start, and hey presto a JSF!

One other thing, dont shoot at the target itself, give it a little lead so your shots and its flight path intersect, this equals a big BOOM!

Personally, I think high tier droid fighters and Aggressors are both a lot more annoying than killing A-Wings, but that's just my opinion...

As for the other NPCs, I'd have to say that the best NPC flying I've seen is consistently TIE Advanced in Deep Space. They seem to be just a tad more on top of it than the Ints, Opps, and Aggressors. Probably no difference in AI though! Probably just me and my perceptions lol.

Its not manuverablity as it is weapons spread. Chin mounted guns dont cover a very large area, so your aiming has to be right on the dot.

An Xwing has a very large weapon spread, and has a much higher hit probability.

I near miss in an Xwing isnt so bad, you got other guns that might catch it and make up for the misplaced shot. But in a Tie, if you miss, you miss wide.
