Pilot Archive

The planet you start on is pretty much meaningless. It's just a matter of flavor, really.

Crimson Phoenix is a fairly dull squadron. I did it, but it just didn't stick out as anything worth remembering in my mind. It's supposed to be the easiest of them, so if you're into a quick mastery that can work. I just picked it because I was starting a brand new character, and didn't really feel like shelling out for the trip off planet.

Haven't done the other two yet, so I can't comment on those. But Rebel squadrons aren't like Freelance. Who you fly for doesn't have any effect on who you can or can't shoot. If they're Rebel, you can't shoot them, period.

Vortex has the best storyline. Havok has the Black Sun duties but that doesn't really matter since you can take the duties from any trainer within your faction. E.g. your CorSec pilot can take the duties from smugglers alliance and RSF.

No major differences in difficulty.

Im doing Vortex now it was my first choice. (at the time I dident know there was a difference between the 3) Its a challenge but if it wasent it wouldent be all that fun. Some of the missions are long an just when you think your done, bam more Ties!! They say its the hardest Reb tree, but I havent tried any of the others yet.

Hope this helps

If i were to pick a rebel squadron .. one that i was going to be in for a long long time and not drop, i would pick Crimson phoneix.

- Teir4 trainer is the only one that has a factional destroy mission for FP farming. (being in crimson phonix you avoid the BS intro speech, minor astheitic i know)

- Its based out of the only Rebel Outpost with a starport. You have bank, bazar terminal, and mission terminals all RIGHT THERE (along with your teir 4 trainer). Very convienant

- Depending on server congestion, you can put your houses down anywhere from 133 meters to whatever distance to the starship terminal. (i was like one of the first to realize this logistical advantage and had my house 133 meters from the starship terminal, it was NICE. Go back there now, and a whole town as grown up around the rebel outpost there, its halrious. I wish i never uprooted those houses i had down, i could have sold that lot space off for a pretty penny ill wager hehehe)

When I talk to the pilot trainer she doesnt offer me phonix, or vortex just Naboo, Corellia, and Tatooine, which squadron ties to which planet?

Off the top of my head.

I think Crimson Phoniex starts on tatoonie.

Vortex and Havok start in the other two, i forget which is which, i want to say vortex starts in naboo, monia. Check the FAQ sticky, the correct answers are in there.

any rebel pilot can take the blacksun duty missions. the trainer that gives them is at the nym's stronghold hotel.

I did crimson phoenix first. It took me the longest only because i was a new pilto at the time, i lacked skills and droid programs and good ship parts, i have also done havoc and vortex. havoc had funny trainers. I think they were all crazy. Vortex had a good storyline, but the missions were LONG!
