Thread: some quick q's...
Julak wrote:
ok thanx for your patience in these and yes i did search the faq up and down for these but couldnt findd answers, so please help me out.
1. Why in H#ll does the x-wing have 3 guns? I know that we are about as far from Star Wars as is possible but come on.
Because the devs made it that way, sorry, really no other answer to that one.
2. What are these "quickfire" blasters i hear about?
They are crafted blasters with a quick shot upgrade built into them (ask a shipwright tomake you some custom)and experimentation points put into weapon refire. They have exceptionally quick refire rates.
3. When you use overloads a compnents armor is damaged, when you repair it it loses a little of its armor about 10% of whatever was repaired i belive, so will it stop having armor if i do enough overloads, or will it get down to a certain amount after a while?
It will stop at 10/10 HP
4. In terms of difficulty what is the ISD comparable to?
Probably harder than a vette (never fought it personally, though it appears easy to take down after watching rebels do it in DS)
5. How can i get WO3 for my flight comp if i am a reb?
Ask an Imperial pilot with x-x-x-3 to burn it to an unprogrammed command chip (check bazaar/vendor searchfor these under misc.)
thanx all, ih yea one more
6. which reb squad fights the most gunboats? if any
Not sure, only done Havok squad on another character and don't recall any gunboats.
ok i lied one more
7. is there a static spawn of imp gunboats somewhere? i want to practice on them before i go for the vette'
I believe a corsec gunboat spawns in Dathomir somewhere near the station, it is the same type as the imperial ones, just owned by corsec.

A quick clarification of point #1 before I get flamed for my comment, about giving Rebels even more space advantage.
Rebels get a passenger ship earlier than Privateer or Imperial, the Y wing
Rebels get 3 guns on the X wing, earlier than Privateer can get 3 guns (Rihkxyrk)
Rebel space missions are all pushovers compared to any Imperial or Privateer track. (I've done them all, I know)
Imperials get 1 gun on all ships except for the Tie Bomber, but this is offset by maneuverability...or supposed to be. Their first passenger ship is the Agressor at tier 4. Imperials have the only faction with a single mission that can take 2+ hours of the worst possible type - escorts.
On a side note about Escorts - PLEASE tell me why so many of these extremely boring missions were included in Storm Squadron? SS was the easiest of the Imperial factions to do, if you don't count the extreme boredom factor.
Privateer get 2 guns on most ships, 3 on the rihk. All privateer ships are fairly sluggish in the handling though. First ship with passenger capabilities for a neutral is at Ace, the Krayt and the YT-1300. Privateer missions are neither as boring as the SS, but also nowhere near as easy as the Rebel missions. I actually think neutrals might have the hardest missions overall.

The advanced and opressor have 2 guns as well.

Would be more convincing if your factswere right.
Imps do indeed also have the advanced and oppressor with 2 gunmounts. Imp ships have the smallest hitboxes (important in PvP). Imp ships have the only fighter with 3 ordnance slots (Oppressor, important in pvp, especially todays PvP). Privateer havetwo 1-gun ships, two 2-gun ships, two 3-gun ships and one 4-gun ships. 2 ships out of 7 is not getting 2 guns on most ships.
Imps have the best PvP ships, Privateers have the best PvE ships. In which way was rebel advantaged?

The rebels have the best combination of firepower, mass, and maneuverbility in the X-wing varients. Althougth that is my own personal opinion and you may or may not agree with. Argueing about which is "better" is mostly a mute point because everyone has different tastes, but the way I see it the rebels at master get 2, or three depending on your view, easily-viable fighters that provide a good balence of PvP and PvE (A and X-wing). Neutrals have, in my opinion, one really good fighter, the krayt (which at most is a 3.5 gun ship as it takes an exceptionally skilled gunner to make a significant number of kills). Several others (Rhikx and Dunelizard) are pretty good ships but, again in my opinion, arn't as good and are only good in PvE. They don't have a really good, non-quest, pvp ship. Imperials are the opposite. They have 2 good (Oppressor and Advanced) and 1 good with good parts (Intercperter) ships that are all good at PvP (depedning on style), but they lack a really good PvE ship. Again ship choice comes entirely down to personal preference but, to me, the rebels have the most balenced group of ships of any of the squadrons.

The kimo has 3 guns and is available at 2xxx. The X-Wing is available at 3xxx and has 10K less mass than the Kimo.
And much better maneuverbility.
only way is if you count the Adv X wing for PvE imo better than any other for PvE
