To spare myself some trouble when I get into Tier 3 what would you recommend the type of ship I get, weapons, shields, etc. (I always hear bad things about Tier 3 and Tier 4 so I want to be prepared.)
Also how powerful of a weapon should I have and shields?
Note I'm an Imperial Black Epsilon Pilot.
I just want to know what it is the "norm" for outfitting a ship.
I do understand grouping and droid commands are neccessary or somewhat at least.
But how much?
Will I need to group a lot? Will I need to use droid commands a lot?
I'm also not sure how droid commands work.
I get that you buy an interface and whatever chips your certified for and use them in your ship, but how exactly do they work? Are they one time use things and you have to buy new chips all the time. Or once you put in chip you'll be able to use whatever ability it is whenever you want? How many can you use at a time too?
Any answer is greatly appreciated and you have my thanks.
I'm still a bit of a newb when it comes to JTL.

ok my 2 cents
what are ya it makes a big difference i have learned
2 what i did was i went after compents upgraded to 6 and 7 then i went with commands but i wish i went after epluse and iff scramble after the teir3 mission 3 problems i had lol oh this is a tatooine freelancer i am doing
i did tier 3 ship last because everyone says its a joke well atleast most of them wait for teir4 ship.
my weapons i am useing on a kimo atm and dunelizard the have 1500 to 2500 atk on them with 16 to 23 energy useage sheilds i am useing are around 1000 to 1200 now i am also in a kimo now to use most of my stuff so i can get away with mass problems right now i am at 10476mass lol when i use my dunelizard its maxed out on mass lol
i have also learned commands are very nice the higher up you go but everyone is different
all i can say its look at the boards and read them and take that and decide whats best for you.

as an imp ur stuck with two extremes for tier 3 ships. the interceptor which is quick and agile but is undergunned (only 1 gunport and 1 missileport)and has very low mass (40k?). the tie bomber on the other hand gives ya plenty of space (190k mass) and has good firepower (2 gun, 2 missile) but handles like a brick and is slow as christmas. the interceptor is fun to fly but u wont be able to solo tier 3 in it. u can solo tier 3 in a bomber but it will make u punch the monitor out of frustration. (cause itsa b***hto fly). if u choose the interceptor u will have to group with other players-u may need to group with the tie bomber too. tier 3 mission can get very hard. u will need the droid comands, but the only one that really matters in my opinion is Weapons Overload 3.i cant much help ya on the chip questions, i havent installed new chips since the devs overhauled it. im not sure sure how they work now.
