Thread: can some one give me disadvanges and advanges to all star ships in the game presently,....
I am a Rebel I will give you a rough idea of our ships, ignoreing the Rage of the Wookie ships:
Z-95: Your starter ship, once you get the Y-Wing it is useless 
Y-Wing: Just started flying it again. It is great when you first get it but once you get the X-Wing you never need it again. Reason I am using it now? Makes a nice mining ship, in truth the X-Wing is proably better but I only have 1 of each ship and my X-Wing is setup for PvE.
Y-Wing Longprobe: I do not have much experiance with this ship unfortunatly It should be a nice ship as it has nice mass and if it handels like the Y-Wing then you should be ok in it. Whilst it can hold a second person to fire the turrent it is unlikely you will find someone to do this for you which means if you fly it you have the disadvantage of not having 2 forward facing weapons like the Y-Wing does.
X-Wing: Advantage:Best PvE ship in my opinion. Has 3 weaponspoints (I only use 2 of them though)and makes killingNPC ships very fast. Disadvantage: Slower than the A-Wing and easier to hit than the A-Wing, not very usefull for PvP. On a few Tier 4 misions I found the A-Wing was better because of it's speed and because it is harder to hit, this meant that I could do hit and run stikes against target in which if I had been in my X-Wing I would have died. This is probally the best mining ship avalible to the rebels in truth, it can hold the mining laser, the tractor beam and 1 weapon forif you are attacked, also it is fast enough and manouverable enough to keep up with those pesky asteroid chunks.
A-Wing: Advatage: Best Rebel PvP ship, it is very fast and has great manouverability, as stated above this will help in a few PvE missions too. Disadvantages: Lacks firepower, in PvP this is fine cos you can still 1-2 hit kill. In PvE it is a huge disadvantage though as it can take twice aslong to kill NPC ships and in many cases you have to kill them as fast as possible.
B-Wing: Advantages: Has 4 weapons points and 2 missle points, this means the ship packs lots of fire power. Disadvantage: The ship is slow and handels like a brick. You have a lot of firepower but good luck trying to hit anything with it, aslo good luck in trying to power all those weapons without dischargeing all your energy in a few seconds. In truth the ship currently has no advantage and most will find it hard fighting anything with it, this is a shame as I really like the B-Wing, does it have any use? Currently no, some say that it will have a use when we get capitol ships,well all I can say is I will believe that when I see it.
Nova Courier: Our PoB ship... Well all I can say is it makes a nice house and you do not have to pay to maintain it, just make sure you do not get any fight in it if your the only person on the ship 
Quick review: A-Wing for PvP, X-Wing for PvE and Mining, Nova Courier for a nice flying house.
Actually I think the advanced X-wing does just fine for PVP
Its pretty much the perfect ship, especially for people that dont have a million hours to perfectly talior their jedi starfighters/bellawhatever fast fighters with flawless parts.
Advanced X-wing is pretty fast, somewhat manuverable, holds 180K mass andcan hold 3 big guns. In pvp you got to be quick though, as long as your a decent shot youll kill anything with 1 hit, if you miss though, avoid turning wars.

Minor correction
Y-Wing : Two weapons but one is in a turret that can only be used by a second person
Y-Wing Longprobe : Two weapon slots but can be linked so pilot can fire them both
I mixed them up? Ooops XD Shows how much I use them/How long it has been since I used them
This from the guy who knows enough about the game to think he can rewrite it *smirk*

Gah! Would you stop being such an *edit*?!?! Just cos you do not like someones ideas does not mean you have to go and take the *edit* out of them! I seen you do it to other people to. You could be way more helpful and constructive to people, like the person who corected me rather than just flaming a person! Hell when I post my ideas atleast I admit that I am probally gonna make mistakes and thats why I want feed back and help and when I make mistakes I thank the person for helping me.
Yeah you know what, you probally do know more about the game than me, but instead of flaming how about you help me out instead? Atleast my heart was in the right place with my idea! I just wanted to get more people into space and give the game some variety!
I edited my self as I do not like swearing.
yup, same handling characteristics of the regular xwing too.
Enjoy the firepower of a bomber class ship with the handlig of a space superiority fighter.

Now if I could only *find* a Rebel Shipwright to get a Y-Wing, I could park the Z-95 and stop the endless cycle of:
Fly to Dant
attempt to complete mission to land at Rebel base
die, usually painfully.
repair ship back to 75% ( max the guy will allow )
fly to Corellia
repair to 100%
Hunt for better parts for Headhunter
Discover I can't fit anything else on the silly ship
*sigh*
Rinse, repeat.
