It varies alot, depending on chassis, and even to some degree level of engine installed.

Off the top of my head, ive lumped them together as thusly:


40% throttle: (although 65% works too, just not as quick)
-Rhyxirk
-Krayt
-KSE
-Y wings
-Tie oppresor


65% throttle:
Xwing
Dunelizard
Tie aggressor (i think, didnt get alot of stick time on it)

80% throttle:
A wing
Tie Interceptor (and RGI)
Tie advanced


Not exact, but its in the ballpark.

I'm the nut who still claims speed has an important factor in all this too, I'm constantly working my throttle in PvP depending on the needs of the situation, even to the point of sometimes running full throttle to beat someone else's turn. Or dropping speed to make them overturn me.

PvE is honestly more a matter of dropping throttle for a quick spin around, then just cruising on the tail of the NPC until it blows up. Yawn!

Don't you guys constantly adjust your throttle? I found it workd best to constantly be on the ball with the throttle, adjusting it to the craft you are fighting not to your craft. I could be way off, but just setting your throttle seems limiting to me.

Yes, but in the heat of pvp battle. If you spend your time looking at the throttle you will die. I try to use the best turn possible when fighting. Just in case I need to turn really really hard. Now if I were going to fast, or too slow then My turn radius would be larger and The other guy might be able to catch me.......

However, I do have a throttle macro which I use sometimes to constantly change my speed. But you have to use that sparingly because if the other player relizes it, he will quickly gain the rythem of the macro pauses. Also, I have mapped /throttle .1 - /throttle .9, onto my keyboard keypad keys. Mapped under control +keypad #1 - Control + Keypad #9, so all I have to do is hit 2 buttons and slow down/speed upto right where I want to be.
