Will SOE please at least give these suckers a miss chance? This is rediculous, not only is crap out running you now. Its also blasting you with every shot from their guns. I know they at least arent shooting as fast as our guns, but their damage more then makes up for the lack of fire rate.

I noticed that too. In fact, I could have sworn I saw some of their shots track at times. It also seems that no matter what ship it is, it always goes as fast or faster than your ship. Especially when you get into the higher tiers, even the slow ships can pass you no matter how fast your engine is. I will accept that the AI is supposed to be a mere training tool until you can PvP, but something has got to give.

What tier? The lower tiers can't hit the broad side of the barn... trust me.

I actually don't have too much problem dodging shots even at teir 4. Being 4/4/3/3 I was out in Kessal shooting at TIEs and weaving their shots rather well. Not fond of the NPC speed though which I think attributes to the added NPC accuracy. They have the extra boost to line up and adjust to hit you now. Thier not shooting better really as much as having more time to aim. I must say I prefer the old bee hive fighting over this new jousting by far

It is really no problem to even dodge the fire of a tier5 decimator in Deep Space while shooting at it in an A-Wing.
They are by no means hitting 100% of the time... It's more like the almost never hit as long as you don't move static and are in a fast and agile ship.
If you have problems with this try to do for example the tier4 duty missions.... the minute the next wave spawns try to use roll while flying into their direction(you must not fly straight to them... try left and right or up and down till you are past them) and they wont hit you a single time when they fly towards you. It is really all about skill when you are flying. Once you have learned this way of dodging enemy fire you can also start picking on tier 3 gunships for example and try to dodge their fire while shooting them down... once you are able to pull this off everytime you should move on to decimators in deep space (try to find single ones) and then after that you can pick on those decimator doublettes or pick a decimator next to a gunship... and the show goes on like this....
Good luck practising!
