Hi all. I'm currently doing the Corsec pilot missions after getting ace in the Imp Storm Squadron. I got the dune lizzard early on in my new profession but was wondering when do people give it up for another ship? This ship is way better then the Tie Advance is and I had to do 4333 to get that. Anyways wondering what ship do you upgrade to after dune lizzard?

Don't know if upgrade is the right word as I still have and use my dunie... the next ship I reccomend using is the Rihkxyrk.

Well I still want a ship that is quick enough and has 2 or more weapons. The lizzard is so nice I'm sure I could get ace with it so I'm kinda wondering if there's any other privateer ship that will wow me in the end like this ship did.

I'm gonna have to second the recommendation of a Rihkxyrk.
It's a very different flight model than the Dune, but with three hardpoints and 190k mass, it can be configured as a flying shredder. Great firepower and room for good shields and other hardware, even if it handles like a bus at high speeds.
It's a nice complement in your datapad to the Dunelizard and will help you on the tier four missions.
Good luck.

Rihkxyrk all the way, best ship in game quite possibly.
the firing pattern of the guns is awesome, very easy to hit targets with all 3 at the same time.

Thanks for your input. I'm like 200k away from 4333 so I'll definetly pick up one of those ships. Getting double the xp per kill really helps get up there quickly. Started this last night hehe.

i use a dunelizard and a kimogilla, not a world of difference but the extra mass let me put a few slightly better componets on. i use a trio of 2300 damage guns with low energy per shot with a nice capacitor (45 regen/900 capacity). i mainly use this for taking down gunships and still use my dunelizard for dog fighting missions. for lower level dog fighting i might usemy kihraxz over my lizard though, turns on a dime but the mass keeps it from being a primary fighter imo.
i know people who have used a dunelizard up to 4/4/4/4, some missions might be a little more then difficult but it's a hard ship to beat on mass vs handling.

Just bought the tier4 ship and all I got to say is wow. This thing blows the Tie Advance out of the water. 3 weapons definetly kicks butt. Anyways off to try to master this in 2 days. =)

sounds/looks like an imp pilot went privateer. heheh.
But ya, rhyxirk all the way. Dunelizard is a NICE ship, hard to imagine its a teir 1 ship. The thing is a nice mix between an xwing and a tie fighter (err i think).
One of these days i'll do imp pilot, but i just don't feel like camping kessel for a week again hoping to catch a vette group.

Eventually I'll do all the imp and privateer ones but at this rate privateer is much easier and quicker to get then the imp ones.

Every piloting profession after your first is easier and quicker, its all about the learning curve. However if we're basing it on missions, then I'd agree, any privateer is easier than Storm Squadron, from what I've heard.

So far I've soloed everything. With the Storm Squadron one it was filled with gunships wasn't very soloable hehe.
