Well I was just attacking a rebel space station and all opposition y wings and x wings were sooo weak, i only died once when a missle from god knows what hit me. I'd also like to see them trying to loose you by turning and like trickng me to going into places ect. But its really fun playing JTL (against the good npc) But why are tier 1 so weak, and i'm only 1/1/0/1

Tier 1 are meant to be weak.
Tier 1, 2s and 3s are generally there for new pilots to 'test the water' of space combat.

I personally find NPCs in generaltoo weak after thespeed nerfpatches and it really doesnt matter which Tier or with reward or normal engine.. the npcs fight really totally lame now imo but who cares.. all those crappy pilots whined soo much about the high speeds of tier 4 and tier 5 without realizing they had challangeand now everyone can solo tier 5 ships even with tier 1 ship .. its just LOL

I found the old speeds to be easier - I had a superb engine that could keep up with them, and they would just fly out at a straight line away from me. This made them easy to hit, and kept other NPCs off of my tail by seperating me and the ship i was chasing from the others.

Don't dismiss the AI completely. Tier I's are dirt simple, once you start getting up to higher tiers they get more dificult. Tier IV A-wings try to lead you away from the ship you are escorting, while the y-wings and b-wings attack it. In Endor space there is a group of tier IV b-wings that hang out by the Nebulon B that give me fits! I'm a great pilot (even solo'd the vette for fun the other morning) and spend almost all my time overt in kessel, but these guys gang up and kill me every time! The AI slows down to a speed where it can turn better than you, high speed ships follow you when you attack the slower ones, making yourself an easy target. If this was a single player game I'd think the AI was ok, but when you consider that each server is running hundereds of craft, plus keeping tack of the PCs, then I think it is pretty impressive.

NPC's are weak..... hmm let me suggest that you should Hyperspace to Endor (at least) and play with Death Watch NPC's. If that is weak, please procede to kessel. Still weak, well than you are TIER1 top gun hehe.
