awesome! i think i'm getting a B-22 becuase i need all the help i can get to master pilot. so, what the most important ship parts (level 7)u need to make the B-22 a killing machine?
VERY basicguide to outfitting a ship:
fit the engine you want, then teh guns you want, followed by the shield you want, and then work everything else around that.
the engine guns and shield are what determine how much butt your gonna kick, everything else is more or less a "support" item that makes those 3 work.
save mass by using small cap reactor and booster (if any booster at all). dont waste mass on a l7 reactor if you dont need it, ill bet you can use a mkI reactor

i used the Rihks and i loved it. it takes a bit getting used to it but once you do it packs all the firepower you need. by not only cutting your throttle to 50-60% when in a manuever make very slight ajustments either up or down in your throttle as you are in a turn, for me that was all i needed to make the rihk go frombeing a "good" ship to a "superb" ship. i might get flamed for my next comment but thats ok....RESIST the possible urge to use a RoTW ship at 4333 like the Belbullab-22 or the unmentionable fighter, the rihk was originally the 4xxx certification fighter for a reason, it takes skill to fly it but once you get on it you will destroy nearly anything you go against very quickly. do what you think is best but im just saying use the original certification ships and it will help you more than a quest ship while grinding IMHO

Bearing in mind that failing to develop good throttle manipulation skills puts you at a distinct disadvantage in PvP.

when fittign out a ship...RE VENDORS ARE YOU FRIEND.
As said above, choose the guns and shield syou want first (whatever mass). I woudl look for a good RE'd engine first to see if you can cut on mass.
After that, scour the serevr for RE vendors. Always go for a low level reactor! The one i use is an RE'd lvl 2 with 1208 mass and 12k generation. Be sure to shop around OR, if you know any SW, ask them to re you a nice piece. It might takea while but most SW will try to deliver the best product they possibly can for special orders.
As for ship.....i woudl stick with the dunlizard. I made one the other day wth 85k mass which is more than a TIE advanced on my alt. VERY good for the level of ship it is. I fyou are careful and get teh right stuff the Dune will see you through to master very happily. (it is also harder to hit than the bigger ships in PvP)

Thanks for all the info from you guys! I broke down and bought a bell-22 and its awesome. I was able to purchase an engine with 102 speed on it and i fly. The ship is small and flies fast. I was able to put a good level 7 shield 1900/1900 front and back and was ableto put on it two level 7 guns with .26 fire rate. I can usually run in circle around other ships and becuase i have speed...i sometime dodge missles....well his has helped me a lot that i'm4434 nowand can't wait to be a master pilot. So, how does the Ace pilot work? do you need to master pilot then kill off a vette?
