I don't find the maneuverability that bad ... but then, I started with Rebel Pilot and "upgraded" to the Y-Wing ASAP. It's LESS maneuverable and I didn't have a good engine, this isn't too bad in that way and the loadout is great!

Hehe, it seems so far like there is no concensus as to which tier 4 privateer ship is best. WornTraveler's comment hit closest to home...

Personally I have always gone for more guns and higher mass. The Rihk is a great ship for doing your missions, although it can get hairy when you get a lot of fighters on you.




...Today I was trying to complete the mission to get my second tier 4 box (to finish up 4433)--the one where you transfer cargo from Nym's ships in Lok space to Hutt ships in Dantooine space--and finding it damn near impossible to do solo with my Rihkzyrk, with all those Imp ships shooting me simultaneously. It's been reminding me why I gave up on trying tomaster Privateer pilot when JTL first came out, and I may just give up on it again out of frustration. I can grind XP extremely easily with that ship, but I can't survive missions with multiple simultaneousattackers (at least this mission). I don't know if another ship would make it any easier to complete this mission, but am not keen on the idea of running a long ROTW quest just to get a ship that will do no better. Yeah, I could try to gather a group to help me, but I prefer to do this myself if it's possible.


Is there anybody out there who mastered using the Rihkxyrk, out of curiosity, or thinks that I shouldn't be having any trouble using that ship?

If you want to stick with your Rhyk, why don't you post your equipment loadout droid commands used. We might be able to suggest some improvements to make it easier for you to survive.
