On the x-wing, two things, get a better one.
At least a mass over 115k.
And then get stuff re-engineered.

where oh where did you find that? lol.. i want i want.. *thinks about what could be done with that*

we had a rumor on bloodfin a couple months back that someone was making 112k mass xwings.. but trying to find it turned out to be impossible since all it was was a rumor..

i have a 101.3k mass xwing and as far as I can tell that's the highest out there...

Hi again everyone,

I have finally scraped my way up to master pilot :-) .....anyway I have bought a nova courier & x wing...... the basic specs are as follows:

Nova Courier:-

Mass: 5001251

Energy:15566

Chasis:3528

X-Wing:-

Mass:98128

Energy:13710

Chasis:707/707

My first query is in relation to the x wing .....basically now that I have got to master ...I think im not choosing my equipment very well ...... For example ive bought some really high level reactors and capacitors etc and I cant seem to get a good combination that allows me to utilise the x wings 3 weapons without either overloading mass,eneregy or getting to a situation where the 3 weapons drain the capacitor so much that im only able to fire 3 or 4 shots then I need to wait as long for the weapons to re-charge .......and in a case where im fighting good teir 4s and 5s im dead by that time. maybe my mistake is like buying a mark V reactor for the X-wing and being plentiful on energy but taking up lots of mass. The thing is im now certifide for lvl 8 & above equipment but it just seems really difficult to kit my x wing out with top knotch gear without having to sacrafice an essential system. The thing is im newly a master ....love piloting ....but I am wandering if any experienced pilots could maybe give me some suggestions as to where I could be going wrong? ALso what level equipment to all off you use in your X-Wing?? .......Has anyone manged to kit a X-Wing out 100% with level 9 equipment or is the best way to mix equipment e.g lvl 9 ......lvl7 etc? . I basically want my X wing kitted out with equipment that makes it strong enough to handle teir 5s solo. I am a reasnable pilot but my equipment selection is letting me down now. I will provide my current x wing setup to this forum in a day or 2 also I would appreciate if anyone could recommend a shipwright who is a master and is available to send tells to on european chrimera so that I can get him/her to make me custom stuff......Also what are overload chips and what benefits does reversing equipment have?? ....Also how much is it to get ship equipment reversed? Sorry about all the questions but I really need to suss this out so that I can get an optimised ship .....as im born pilot risk taker :-)))

In reference to the nova courier .......welll what can i say :-) ....first immpression is very cool.....I notice that there are like alarms all over the place ......do other players repair the ship if they are onboard also what uses have you all found for the nova courier?? and what pilot missions can I take now that Im a master to get some money?? ..... Do any of you ever get a group in a nova courier and do pvp or just some grinding in it ......utilizing its turrets?

Anyway thats about it ......if you want to see my disfunctional equipment selection hehe for my x wing I will be happy to provide it.

ANy help would be greatly appreciated .....also if anyone fancys piloting my nova courier and destroying some stuff ....give me a shout .....Im on european chrimera server.

Regards

David

Ok, well to answer your question..

on the xwing: first off try to find a chassis over 100k.. or as close to 100k as you can.. my xwing has 101.3k mass. but currently i'm only using 77k of that mass. pretty crazy i know. I've got a lvl 1 droid interface with a 14 speed(don't ask me where I got it from cause i can't remember for the life of me). i have a lvl 2 capacitor, i'm using a RE'd lvl 6 engine, only using 2 guns: 1 RE'd lvl 8 with 26k mass and 1 lvl 7, and a 3800 mass reactor with 12.8k, and mark 4 shields with 17k mass.

what you need to think about is do I need to use 3 weapons? I only run 2, but that's my preference. I used to run 3 and went through the draining of the cap. when looking at your weapons look at the energy per shot, and the refire rate. this will tell you a lot about how fast you're going to go through your cap. I can't even get mine to drain because I have such a low energy per shot on my weps. second thing is on yoru reactor. personally i would try to fit a reactor to your ship last as you won't know how much energy you're using yet. but make sure you have enough mass left for your reactor. shields and armor that's all personal preference.. i have 1700 front and back shields and I use no armor. but that allows me to stick higher end ocmponents on if I want to. its all about watching your mass and energy.. as long as you understand those to aspects then you'll be able to fit a good xwing together.. if you're curious i'll send you the specs of my ship so you can get an idea of what to look at..

on the nova, well as high a stuff as you can get.. lvl 10 is the only way to go lol.. since you have 5 million mass you won't have to worry.. i was lucky enough to loot a 40k gen rate reactor and stuck it on my nova.. so i have no problem with energy. high shields, high armor, high weps, its all good lol..

i hope i made some sense here, i took nyquil not too long ago and its really started to kick in.
