Thread: Whats Your Fav Ship to Fly?
Hard to answer - Love to fly:
Imp - Oppressor for most PvE; and have to admit I love the RGI.
Freelance - Krayt for most PvE; JSF for the remainder PvE and Heavy Scyck is gonna be my future love (got the shell built and painted waiting for the right parts).
Ippo/Ippowok
PvP - A-Wing
Engine: 22.8k mass, 1440 drain76/76/75 PYR, 103 TS
Shield: 12.7k mass, 2150 f/b 1770 drain 14.5 recharge protect-o
Gun: 13.5k mass, 17xx drain, .3 refire L7 RE job with damage stats I won't report because, god save me from myself, I failed to put the right guns in the analysis tool, despite double checking myself. It still blows things up, thankfully.
Cap: L2 40.2 regen 1040 energy, 1500 mass
Booster: L2..don't remember, but I get about 12 seconds of burn out of it
Reactor: custom crafted Mk1 with precisely the right balance of mass and gen
DI: Pre-nerf L1 14.5 spd, 480 mass
Front armor: L8 fibertech RE - 2020 HP, 9500 mass
Rear armor: L4 RE...don't remember the stats but it's a good RE job
EO4, WO3, CO4, RO4, CTSS 4

PvE - Heavy X
Not terribly different from above, actually. I swap a lot of comps back and forth. I leave a pair of RE-six reward armor plates on the X just to save some hassle.
The guns are different, of course. Two RE-tens (4950 and 5130 max dam respectively), both very competent RE jobs. And an RE-eight borstel based gun. Things go boom.
Standard X-Wing. Nothing says classic Star Wars quite like it! 
(mine's outfitted with film-style engines and weaponry too).
With the right blend of integrating yaw pitch and roll into every manuever you make, you can be extremely deadly in the thing - even to interceptors. Overall, it's simply the epitome of my style. Multi-role fighters, yay!

I love the JSF - as soon as it came out, I dropped Reb Master Pilot and my Reb Colonel status (and all faction perks), went Imperial, got it and ground back to Freelance Master Pilot - Just HAD to fly it 
I don't really PvP, tho I haven't done badly when I have, but in PvE I love the speed of combat and the star warsy feel to flying at a vette between laser bolts Plus, I'm a ground Jedi.
However, I've recently been loot collecting, and the Krayt is MUCH better for that. My JSF has some very good kit in it, whilst the Krayt is all crafted parts, but the kill rate is much much higher. 3 pilot controlled guns with 210k mass means I can filll my hold with loot in less thanan hour (though it takes me 2 hours to sort through it afterwards!). The added bonus is the gunner slot, which means I can grind guildies or an alt at the same time. Very efficient
When my alt reaches Rebel Master Pilot again, I think I will kit out a BWing for loot collecting - 4 player controlled guns I believe *drools*
I still mostly fly the JSF in missions, just cos its more fun. Just gotta figure out how to fit another lvl8 gun into it (missiles are for girls!)
I also like my YT-1300 and I haven't gotten back in-game for a few days but I won an Auction for a KSE Firespray which I am REALLY excited to check out
I am having trouble with the Vaksai mission tho...
I was doing all the missions just fine and then got to this point where the toon was asking me/telling me I wasn't a soldier or didn't know or some DAM thing and wouldn't give me the next leg of the mission...
Do I need to be Combatant or something?... which Faction (REB/IMP)?
Any help please?!
