which to be fairI doubt -anyone- short of a lvl 10 engine could really pvp effectively in one of those Heavy TIES vs. an A-wing.
Not true. Ask any Rebel pilots on my server
All valid reasons.
I guess the thing I always felt about the Heavy TIE, since I'm rebel therefore flying against them at times is the large profile. I tend to take advantage of that and often fly a lot more aggressively rather than defensively when faced with a Heavy TIE. There is no denying that the Heavy TIE [along with the Syck and Z-95] are rather large targets. Got to admit though..the time I spent flying my Z-95 in the brief pvp even last night was fun. Real hard to aim with it due to the gun displacement, but fun to fly.
True, there is an awesome r,p,y acc. modifier on the Heavy TIE etc, however I honestly think that that is required just to shift it out of the way of oncoming fire....which in the hands of a good pilot is achievable of course, but none the less, it is one of those ships which require 'real piloting' rather than the likes of the JSF and RG TIE which any new pilot could do rather well in them. And before anyone says anything..I'm not saying only bad pilots fly the JSF and RG TIE...I'm simply stating that put alongside a Heavy TIE, I am fairly certain that practicality wise, a JSF or RG TIE would bethe better choice. Of course, the arguement about that is that a Heavy TIE is much more easily acquirable than a JSF or RG TIE [especially the RG TIE for those poor folk whose quests have bugged 
].
Anyway, thanks for the understanding replyDragon, I am only human and do say stupid things at times, however I'm not arrogantenough to continue along a path if I realise/am shown it was wrong. Glad to see you're mature enough to accept an apology when it's offered too

Nope. The next event I plan will be held in two weeks. Nex saturday night is reserved personally for IRL activities. Plus I want the next one to be way better with everyone knowing what they're in for a week prior to the event so next saturday...fine have an event, in fact I encourage it, but I won't be organising it. Give me a fortnight to get the next 'event a le Leaph' sorted though and you won't be disapointed.
I've taken into account a lot of things which people have suggested to me for next time. ARCs will be allowed too...
