Ok, first let me begin my reply by giving an example of what happens when I take a "destroy"duty mission from the Grand Inquisitorin the Emporer's retreat. I launch my Tie Interceptor, hyper into the Dathomir system and engage the tier 4pirate's who fly around in small, hard to hit ships.I apologize for not having their correct ship name, butI am at work at the moment and the name of thetype of ship thatit is,escapes me at the presently. But they remind me of the rebel a-wing.

So once engaged, in a one on one dog fight, I can hold my own. He can't even touch me for the most part. But when he does, it hurts!Once engaged, it takes me about 5+ minutes at best to blow the pirate out of the sky Thats a lot of time my friends for one kill So then a wave of two pirate'scome flying at me and the next dog fight begins! And almost just as fast as it begins, it ends.

Once one of those pirate's gets behind me, in all but four, maybe five shots, he has done tore through my shields and isblasting through my armour! So when I turn to engage him, his buddy makes a 180 turn and engages my six. And again, I have no shields and not much armour left at this point. So, aside from hanging around and gettingshot down, I hyper out. Live to fight another day I say

Now,the gear in my Tie Interceptorare level 5 component parts. I trieddifferent combinations, but perhaps I really don't know how to effectively, with good balance, equip my ships. I've tried placing a better blaster on my Tie, but then I can't seem to equip it with anything else as the mass for my blaster is outrageousAgain, I think it is that I just don't know how to balance everything out. My Tie can turn on a dime and keep up with anything I have come across, it just can't takedamage or dish it out

In regards to myTie Bomber, now there is a ship that can take a pounding and keep flying strong! I even have some really good tier 7 blasters for it as well! But my Bomber is like flying a trailer through space Itovershoots when I make a turn and is slow to bring it back around for a goodshot. Now, if I could only merge the two together, I think I would be all set

Get a bigger ship with more mass, maybe a tie Advanced
