Pilot Archive

Krayt - PVE and roid mining in kessel (2 cert10 RE'd guns and a cert9 crafted on the wings or turret when I have a passenger)

Belbullab-22 - Asteroid Mining, stick in a tractor and a single mk3 mininglaser and I can fill the cargo hold in a little under 15 minutes.

Vaksai - PVP, cert10 gun, cert8 shields and engine, tons of armor, big capacitor.

YT-1300 - fun factor, showing off to guildmates

ARC-170 - Bragging Rights, mainly. Got it while I was working on my rebel pilot badges

JSF - Same as the ARC, but got when I was working on my Imp badges.


Also have my Sorusuub and a Y-8 in mothballs, will probably swap the Y-8 for the YT if the devs follow through the idea of 2 extra turrets (I have the guns and mining lasers ready for just such an occurence)

A-Wing - Fast, reliable, manueverable, and small.

I fly...

My krayt- for pve and for helping people with there vette missions gunboats and so on.....its basically a flying tank with good speed

my jsf- for pvp and only for pvp

myyt-1300- to help new pilots get xp and like many said before just to chill out on

heavy x - for all around blow the snot out of stuff quick and move on to the next target purposes
a-wing - for when i'm flying with others and don't want to get all the loot
regular x - for mining
nova - for fun
i also have an arc-170 and y-8 but they just sit around gathering dust

atm i fly me belbullab, yes im an imp, but im waiting for my SW to finish my oppressor order, i like it cos its disposable simple, i dont get killed very often, but checked my jsf chasssis and its sub 1000 so i dont like using it anymore, RGI i fly for its looks, dont really fight in it, and of course i have a deci kicking about to help grinders, might go reb etc to get arc still, havent decided, after all, it does look nice

I'm flying my RGI atm, I love it to bits. Theres something about those interceptors I just love - the sheer speed of the thing is awesome. Oh, and I finally managed to cram all my best components into it last night so that helps tremendously.

PVP or Missions, Jedi fighter, 90k mass and handles like a dream

End Game missions for other Pilots. Oppressor. Good fire pattern. Spacebombs with 2.5k shields adn 1.1k armor. The Firesprays fire pattern misses way too much.

PVP RP. TIEADV. Handles well and is fast. Awings,ect no problem at all.

Main carry over comps to each ship

4300 mass 14120 looted reactor

Pre nerf Gift engine. light weight wtih a 92.8 speed

RE'ed t1 Computer 300 mass 12.3 speed

Two 27 speed adv blasters

And if needed one 24k space bomb launcher.

The Tiberium Sun is my pride and joy. I fly that prodominently.

It is a highly modified YT-1300 Transport with top of the line armor and shields. It is fast for a ship of its size, its cannons are powerful, and despite what people say, has pretty decent turning.

People say they are a walking death trap and require a crew. I agree that they are ideal with a crew, but one skilled and fast player can handle everything himself... if you want to risk it. There were times where I was standin' in the cockpit handeling droid commands, piloting the ship, and making repairs myself.

It is my pride and joy. The only other ship that comes close to that would be the "Templar's Sword". Fast and agile, powerful and deadly.

One of the most enjoyable things I've ever done in this game is to help my wife get through her Defeat 30 mission. We were both still fairly new to JtL, so Kessel was kind of daunting at the time. So she went out in her (I forget what it was, exactly. One of those Black Sun ships with a freaky spelling), and I got a friend of mine to bring out his YT-1300. We shouted for a crew in Mos Eisley, and eventually rounded some people up.

We failed that mission twice before we got it right. After the second failure, I demanded that my friend drop me off in Bestine. A few minutes later, I had resigned from the Imperial Navy (not a big loss, as I was only 2222 with Inquisition, having given up on Storm Squadron only a couple of days before) and had become a Smuggler's Alliance pilot. The reasoning for this was that the guy we had recruited to co-pilot for the YT was, to be perfectly honest, a complete idiot. So I took over co-piloting.

As the mission went on, the people we recruited became more and more disinterested in seeing it out. Eventually, it was down to just myself and my friend inside that YT. I was co-piloting, he was flying the ship, and be both ran to the gun turrets as needed. After a little adjusting, we found that we were amazingly effective at this. Moreso than we had been with a full crew, to be sure. It was absolutely great to hop from one turret to the other to follow a ship I had been chasing, or make a mad dash for the operations chair to revive our shields. It was a day I'll remember for a long time.

What: Vaksai

Why: cause I look so damn cool...plus I can totally load it up w/the best equipment.

My advanced X-Wing, the SSC Nightflyer II (the Nightflyer 1 was my standard one). I have it very nicely loaded out, with a RE'd level 8 Nym's Starmap quest engine (97.3 top speed, YPR all over 72), three RE'd level 8 reward cannons (each at 2509-3678 damage, 13.4 EPS, I fire all day and don't drain cap), a RE'd 1910 mass reactor with 13905 output, a Mark III concussion launcher, a RE'd level 8 reward shield, a prenerf 14.7 speed DI, a 47 recharge, 1105 storage capacitor (plenty of juice to shunt to shields). It handles well and can really dish out the pain. I also have a Grievous fighter handy for when I need a smaller ship, but the Nightflyer II is good for most situations, including space mining when I swap out the wing guns for Mark III mining lasers and the center gun for a tractor beam.

My KSE, why?
Makes me smile.

Fly my YT quite a bit too, same reason, it's my 'toon's home. (Or the Deci for my Imp pilot)

Very VERY rarely I'll launch the B-22, just if there's a ton of people in DS, but that rarely happens on Sunrunner.

My rebel uses Heavy X (Hate B/Y/A wings)

My privateer uses a Ryhkyxk (whatever its called)

I dont really like the light fast ships its like going on a rollercoaster not flying.
