Thread: Krayt Gunship: Thoughts, opinions, experiences, info...
I play in 3rd person mode in space, which means this sucker takes up too much of my field of view for my taste, but it makes a great mining ship.
As stated above, it works great for mining, as well as other applications where lots of firepower is needed (I wouldn't recomend it for dogfighting, but it can still be effective in taking out almost any PvE target easily with practice)

I still call it the best PvE ship in the game. Rebels with their advanced Xwing might disagree, but in my mind it cannot be topped.
i agree with teh bunny. back when i was a rebel, i flew the adv x-wing religiously. but ever since acing freelancer and flying the krayt, i wont go back to teh adv x-wing.
heres why:
Krayt = 3 Guns + 1 Turret. X-wing = 3 Guns. basically, they are the same in this respect, but its nice to have that multiplayer option.
Krayt = 210k mass X-wing = 180k mass more mass is always good to have.
Krayt = .92 top speed, 100 yaw, 100 pitch, 50 roll X-wing = .90 speed wings open, .95 speed wings closed300 yaw, 200 pitch, 150 roll. this is the major difference between the Krayt and the X-wing, that the krayt is slower.
however, you can fit a bigger engine,and bigger reactor, and still keep you best guns fitted on a krayt. this allows you to make up for teh difference in speed by running engine overload 4 instead of 3 (bigger reactor), and more speed (bigger engine). since i started using the Krayt, ive used engine overload 4 because of the bigger reactor i can fit on. the difference really is quite large between it and 3, and in my opinion it gives you the samespeed/manuevering stats as an x-wing on overload 3.
the choice is basically between less power, more speed or more power, less speed. unless you can fit on the proper equipment that is

It´s definatly the best Neutral PvE-Ship. But it sucks in PvP because it is just a far to big target and threfore too easy to down.
But for grinding yourself or a friend (gunner) it is perfect. Also for soloíng ISD/Corvette it´s nice
The best Ship ingame atm IMHO is JSF/B-22 for the small size and Advanced X-Wing (which imho is the abnsolutely best ship ingame atm! 3 Weps, 180k mass and small enough to out manouver even a JSF(With a decent engine that is).
nah... i dont see any adv. x-wing outmanuevering a JSF... and with the extra 30k mass of a Krayt, i can put on a bigger engine/reactor... which means i can use engine overload 4, and a faster engine, making teh krayt move just as well as an x-wing.
of course, its still much larger than the x-wing. but neither of them is a great choice in pvp lol.
personally, id like to fly a Vaksai into pvp. 150k mass, 1 gun, higher top end than a JSF... meh, id like to give it a test drive... but then again, i cant yet :/
ive flown both the krayt and the adv x-wing. from what i seen in both, ill take my krayt anyday.
Like I said on ur other thread:
Come to chimaera and ill proof to you that I can down a JSF in my Advanced X-Wing

if it wouldnt take 2 months for me to grind pilot, cash, and RE parts just to outfit one i would be tempted to
