Pilot Archive

Imperials -

Fighters are low mass but more manueverable than their counterparts in the other factions. only 2 gun mounts max.

Rebels -

Generally mid range mass, and decent handling though nothering terribly exceptional in their array of fighters. up to 3 gun mounts.

Freelance -

Tends to have the highest mass ships though less manueverable(very "floaty"), though they do have the only 4 gun mount ship(1 turret).

The JSF is pretty much irrelevant, it has the exact same stats as a grevious fighter which any faction can use but it's not required that you complete the quest to use it like the JSF is. Meaning if you wanted to buy one you could use it as soon as your certed for it, for the JSF you would have to do the quest yourself in order to be able to use it.

The catch with those differences are that they nicely set the factions apart. I'm not real fond of some of those differences myself, but it would suck if all of the factions were identical.

And the Imperial Ace jacket is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and by far makes up for that helmet! Have you seen the Freelance helmet/jacket combo? Ugh, especially on a female.

The duty situation is dumb. Seems odd too that none of our trainers want us to go after rebels.

Blacksun helmets definately drop off duties, I got mine yesterday from the RSF duty.

A good mining ship would be nice, with three turrets so you can have the mining laser, tractor beam, and a good blaster. I'm not sure the devs ever thought we'd be doing more mining in our fighters than in the Y-8.

I was under the impression the container bandoliers were only given to Wookiee and Ithorian pilots who couldn't wear flight suits otherwise. I've got one for my wookiee Freelancer while my Alliance human only got the flight suit.

I'll double check the Imperial Pilot I use tonight, too, I don't remember him getting a bandolier from Storm Squadron.

the bandoleers are given to all freelance pilots and Wookiee or Ithorian pilots in Rebel or Imperial Squads

Actually I don't think we get it too bad. We get the best droid commands, and BOMBER STRIKE.And our tier 1 uniform flight suit pwns the Rebel Orange Overalls. I would like to see a Rebel destroy duty mission and a 3-gun fighter though.

so if a wookie rebel pilot got to 1111 and gave me the bando, would i be able to equip it as a human rebel ace?

Doesnt have to get 1111, just has to finish the 4 novice missions.

Freelancer ace jacket rocks and the helmet would be cool too if I didn't feel like Dark Helmet when I wore it.

Yes, I am wearing one right now. Human rebel, you don't have to be an ace to wear it.

Rebel Fleet destroyed 2 Deaht Stars, Empire Fleet destroyed... hum..... er oh yeah, a couple of rebel ships.

Now seriously, I fly an X Wing (no the crapy desing Advanced) and i think they must remove the mid wings weapon slot. But please give us some level 8 engines with the movie style art..

an entire planet. Two Death Stars is impressive, but I think destroying an entire planet is supperior.
