A bridge? Ooo sounds cool... If any Imperials wanna take me prisoner for a minute or two so I could see that, I would love to go up. I am on Sunrunner.

Me too i wanna ride on a decimator and a yt1300, i own a Nova that i dont fly because no one wants to fly with me, a Bwing, Gunboat killer, awesome firepower, just handles like a cap ship, awing, ewwww, the lack of fire power is terrible, taking on level 4 aggies was almost deadly for me. and then there is the xwing, the perfect balance, 3 guns, 1 ml, nice speed, very manuverable, im in love, I have a nice xwing with 101k mass on it, and its awesome,but its also the same xwing i used to master, so it has only 100 chasis hp left. lol.

I really enjoy the Decimator in terms of interior. Very cool ship. In terms of Star Warsy feel the YT-1300 wins the day.

Right now I enjoy my Kimogila due to the decent mass (110k) and the 3 gun mounts. I've got it set up nicely currently, but with 903 condition left I think I'll be replacing it soon.

In terms of agility I think the Tie Advanced wins. The A-Wing is great but the Tie Advanced has the mass needed to get the job done.

Maybe he meant the 2nd weapon mount. T/A is one up on that over the A wing and it shows.

Ah but the A-wing is slightly harder to hit. So I would say that they are pretty balanced overall.

That's basically what I meant, the mass helps get that second hardpoint on there

Oh, and I don't PVP so the ship profile realllly doesn't matter much to me. NPCs end up hitting you no matter what.

• Rebel: X-wing an A-wing. X-wing for its great offence and the A-wing because its just a blast to fly and so small (smallest profile to-hit)


• Privateer:Krayt. Krayt about the best balaced ship and can take a gunner.


• Imperial: Advanced and Opressor. The Advanced is about the best PvP and PvE ship out there IMHO

The advanced is probably one of the most unrecognized/unappreciated ships in the game.

Sure the A wing has a small profiler and is harder to hit. But the advanced isn't exactly all that large of a target either. Manuverablity wise, the advanced is either on par or greater than the A wing (according to the stats listed in the pilot FAQ, one would beleive its acutally slightly more manuverable then the Awing)

But the advanced has two gunmounts. This goes a LONG way. Sure both have 65K mass, and highly manueverable, but that 2nd gunmount is what makes all the difference. With the proper REing of equipment you can squeeze in a 3600 damage L8 blaster and a 2900 to 3000 L7 blaster in this ship, and not have to sacrafice much if anything at all. The T/A arguably has the best speed to manueverablity to firepower ratio in the game.

I think most rebel pilots kind of scoff at 65K mass in either the A wing or the T/A. Frankly most are probably not used to dealing with low mass - and as a rebel pilot, neither was i. But mass isnt a great of a limiter as most people think, and with the proper equipment selection, youd be amazed what you can do with 2 gunmounts on a 65K mass chassis.

Now if i had a 100K mass chassis with 3 gunmounts.. i could make miracles happen *evil grin*
Which leads me to the other "great ship" of the game. THe xwing arguably has the best firepower to mass to manuverablity ratio in the game, i miss that ship dearly.
