There are a lot of facets to being a good pilot. Choosing a chassis and loading it out is only one of them. I'd still be good if I limited myself, but honestly... why? I'd rather be the best that I can, and then test myself against others.


If it makes you feel better to fly a less capable ship, feel free.


If you prefer to PvP in a ship with less mass, fewer hardpoints, and similar maneuverability, in order to impress others with what a superb pilot and ship outfitter you are, more power to you.



I agree that it's unfortunate how there's little trade-off between the various chassis available. That's still no reason todenigrate those who choose not to handicap themselves. I play the game; I don't design it. I enjoy flying my JSF in both PvE and PvP. I also like to give myself every advantage I can (without exploiting, obviously). Or should I restrict myself to only using player-crafted weapons, and let my reverse engineered guns sit in a backpack? Use a crafted engine instead of my L8 RE'd? Only a handful of other serious pilotson Eclipse have an engine as good. Does it make me a lesser pilot if I use it and beat someone without? It might give me bragging rights, but why would anyone feel that they're obligated to use subpar equipment simply because the best is really good? The case for not using a JSF is even weaker, since anyone can get the chassis fairly easily, although it may entail extra work for Rebels.


I can fly a ship. I can manage mass. I may not be a long-term veteran, but I'm one of the best pilots on my server, and I'd be happy to defend that statement 1v1 if anyone cares to question it.You cantake your "space composite" sneers and shove them somewhere. And go read Harrison Bergeron.

JSF is a n00b PvP ship, for those that need the extra advantage to score kills, fly your Interceptor, Advanced or Awing and people will think youre a god once you start taking out JSFs






It is something I don't underestand. You get a very nice ship, that looks cool, has great handling, you can stuff some nice parts int it and then some people keep calling it bad, because it is too good. What's wrong with that? This game is to enjoy it, not to make you suffer, right? I love JSF and it makes me proud that Lord Vader gave me it. I don't care he mass produces them and gives them to everyone who wants it, it's still feels nice.

The guy on top of the hill, I just ran up there and killed him. He did not come down for me when I did the quest. And the JSF is a fine ship, and I use it whenever I can. Although in deep space I use another ship so noone can take away the glory of my kills with their stupid complaints/opinions.



So sad to see this go out the window. Guess it's back to WOW for me.

The point here is that JSF is THE BEST ship in the game hands down (maybe tied with the bugged RGI). There is no reason to use any other ship if all you want to do is win, for Imperials or Rebels since they can use it too.


So why don't we all just use the JSF? Because that looks increadibly stupid. In an Original Trilogy game, both sides are going to fly some out of date piece of junk? Oh yeah, that's just I wanted for my $15 a month.


On Bloodfin, in our weekly PvP events we discourage the use of these ships and our veteran players work hard to help the newer guys outfit chassis that are balanced and fit the time period. We all have a lot more fun in these battles and it looks and feels like Star Wars, imagine that!

The fact of the matter is, the JSF is HORRENDOUSLY overpowered compared to the other chassis... and for that reason, people who truly take pride in their PvP piloting skills won't touch them with a 10-foot pole, and some of the more obnoxious ones will openly sneer at people who use them. Whether or not either of those things bothers you should determine whether or not you use one. Simple as that.


Myself, I think that the JSF deserves a pretty sizeable nerf, and hope it gets one. I can say that because I own one, and I use it frequently to grind parts I need to outfit my Advanced.I'm not holding my breath though, it's more likely that the next expansion will introduce ships that are even worse.

Depends on how you look at it. Better in performance, worse in effect on the actual game.
