Hello everyone
just curious on which ship i should get, the advanced or aggressor?
I hear that the advanced is pretty agile but has only 64k mass(dont remeber)
Idont know anything about the aggressor, but i believe it has some pretty high mass (112k if i remeber correctly)
Im hoping that the aggressor wont be like the bomber, slow and hard on turning.
So what do you guys think?
Agrressor or Advanced?

There's a few differences to note between the two Tier 4 Chassis types Imperials have available that are really important to note.
Firstly, both have two guns and two missiles, but they are distributed differently. The Aggressor's second gun is actually a tailgun turret, and is totally useless without somebody manning that turret.
Secondly, the Advanced is a small step down from the Interceptor in terms of speed and manueverability, in exchange for 15k more mass and a second beam weapon. The Aggressor is a big step down, although nothing like the Bomber or Oppressor for turning like a garbage scow.
The turret on the back of the Aggressor is a very limited arc, essentially 120 degrees yaw, and 90 degrees pitch, dorsal aft mounting. Unless something is on the dorsal hemisphere of your targeting and is behind your ship, your aft gunner is NOT going to be able to do anything about it.
If you want to bring a lower level friend out and shoot things and have them XP up, the Aggressor is useful. Otherwise, it's rather useless, in my opinion. I've been using my Advanced since 4333 and the only other class I use now is the Oppressor, and that's for missile boat duty.
The Advanced is simply more agile and packs more forward throw. Something you'll need when facing Tier 5 A-wings and the like in Kessel and Deep Space. Not to mention when you run into hostile players, you will definitely need that agility because the kill goes to whomever lands a hit first.
Advanced is undeniably my recommendation.
Hope this helps,
