Mine favorit craft is tie - heavy version.

Good mix of speed, armor and maneuverability - with re'd c.10 engine i can keep pace with jsf of bel with no problems and am using rockets a lot,

which these guys in 2gun slots ships often forget to load (sometimes even countermeasure) :-)

And one re'd c.7 sienar boltdriver - with mark II img. rec it's really enough punch to blow out of the sky anything worth blowing :-))

Only drawback is that rocket are costly ...

Used to be my RGI, but ever since I slapped a lvl 10 engine in my TIE advanced and put some of those shiny winglets onnit, I haven't felt the same about my crimson speedster.


Don't get me wrong I still love my RGI and I can't wait for them to fix the hitbox issues with it but theres something purely evil about sliding around an opponent while facing them that just makes me happy on the inside*...


*Same goes for my Vaksai, however my alt gets all the secondhand parts so his setup is nowhere near as good.

I'm gonna be a jerk and say the Eta-2.

Do I think it's the fairest thing to fly? No. But it is my favorite ship to fly, both in PVP, where it almost feels dirty (unless I'm up against other Eta-2s or B-22s) but is still like a living extension of my brainstem, and in PVE, where it actually feels like a decently-balanced ship--sacrifice half the mass for quicker reaction time and a smaller profile.

I used to be an all-out Interceptor fan, though. They're just vicious looking, and knowing I could knock out A-Wings with it gave me a certain cockiness that may have helped overcome its mass-related disadvantages. It's certainly my favorite of the JTL ships.

I use my int in most of our pvp events. I really enjoy the canonical ships, and the way they look. I think the tie int is a neat looking ship, and i enjoy the light, fast paced handling. I can manage with the low mass; just have to sacrifice in a few areas. I have been very succesful in my int against numerous styles of ships.


Im interested to hear others' input






Luckily I've got an alt so I get to fly my two favorite ships. For the Imp in me I've got to stick with my RGI. I don't activly PVP in her anymore but I do fly her for missions and farming. I am a long time Interceptor pilot so having a tricked out Interceptor with a nice paint job and extra mass is any Interceptor pilots wet dream.


For the Freelance pilot I go with the Vaksai. She is my beauty and beast rolled up in one. RE'd 10 engine and weapon, 2500 f/b shields, 1400+ armor, pre nerf DI, and a M2 IR launcher thrown in there just in case. She hits like a train and moves like she's on ice. Who need EP3?

for PvE..the Rhykzerk, when I fly it, I feel like I am flying a pimp'd out 78 Caddy..just need to go pick up some hos on the west sii-eede!! What can I say, enough mass for a smooth engine, all the sheilding and armor you could want and 3 BIG @$$ guns


PvP, the vaksai rocks, I have it set up 2 ways, 1as a hit and run fighter, with a 118.x speed engine, YPR all around 70 or as a slidy **edit**, with a 98 speed engine and YPR all around 81, EO3 of course...I cant seem to squeeze the energy for EO4 yet. I only fly this in PvP because the weapon spread is a bit rough.


Just kitted out my Heavy Scyk too, and i gotta say I am loving this in PvE, cant wait to take her to the next PvP event!

Believe it or not the Tier four Rihkxyrk Attack Ship.


It does two jobs perfectly. One it is my miner. (till teh Y8 bug is fixed). WIth two II mining lasers for quick rock breaking, and a cannon in the nose for them pesky claim jumpers (Protons also).


Tis a good very fast, armor plated, miner.....


Then I pull out the number two laser and replace it with a cannon. Heck I leave the number three gun a miner.


Now I can run rack up the kills on top end mobs, and Im one gun change away from going back to mining.


When the Y8 comes, I'll put two guns in those mining laser slots, and bash what ever I wish.


Tis a big boat with a 50 foot hood. Also has a huge mass, so you can pack it full of high end goodies

I know exactly how u feel pace.


the jsf just doesnt feel right after flying my interceptor for so long. And boy do i love beating jsf's in my int. I think my int vs jsf win % is 100.


as for the heavy tie: The bigger hitbox and chin mounted guns repelled my instantly. Especially after flying my int. Even with my lvl 10 re eng in it, i still got my ars kicked.


as for the advanced: I love it for pve. Its all i use for pve, but for pvp i stick to my int.

I notice noone mentions the Krayt... I like my Krayt and Kimogila for fun "event" PvP. I have a heavy scyk set up for blasting JSF/B22 pilots... btw like some guys in their B-wings, I LOVE it when a JSF/B22 tries to joust my Krayt...

For Imp, love the jsf/rgi, but oppressor just looks cold and, well, oppressive, so thats my choice.


For freelance, I gotta go with my krayt. It's my loot machine. 3 L10 guns, L10 shield, L10 engine. Love it, but Vaksai comes a close second. Crafted engine and booster for raw speed, but RE'd L10 engine at 102.3 spd and nothing less than 86 in ypr. I just don't like losing 200 speed
