I have mass / energy problems on my X-wing as well. I'm using 3 lvl 7 crafted blasters, and RE stuff for everything else. I have not seen any descent RE'd blasters yet on my server, they must sell fast I'm capped at reactor energy and mass, I'm not able to load a launcher, or a droid, but I'm still happy with it, never the less. Lately I've been flying my A-wing with high speed lvl 7 cannons, it seems that alot of my mass problems have gone away with my A-wing, due to the fact that I only need 1 gun, and a low mass reactor.

Okay, here goes:

C: Reactor: 12932 power output, 3311 mass
L: Engine: 2100 energy drain, 13766 mass, 79 speed, 63.2ypr
C: Shield: 1725hp, 11.56 recharge, 3114 energy drain, 16919 mass
L: Front Armor: 1264 hp and armor, 9179 mass
C: Rear Armor: 1343hp, 1723 armor, 13932 mass
L: Capacitor: 1291 energy drain, 12552 mass, 996 energy, 39.9 recharge
L: Booster: 450 energy drain, 3150 mass
C: Droid Interface: 726 energy drain, 6562 mass, 15.9 speed
C: Weapon 1: 1484-2800 dmg, .48 vs both, .35 refire, 2379 energy drain, 14693 mass
C: Weapon 2: 936-1866 dmr, .48 vs both, .35 refire, 2294 drain, 5481 mass

Mass: 99550/100074
Energy: 12356/12932
Chasis: 1635/1635

Before each component I put a "C:" for "crafted" and an "L:" for "looted". Thank you everyone for any input. Really. I'm sure I could get some of these parts with the same stats but with lower mass and/or energy consumption. I just don't know which ones. Also, none of these are RE'd. I need to read the stickies and other posts about RE'ing components and get into that.

I can't stand all the talk about people's capacitors. You don't even need a great capacitor if you learn not to fire all your weapons together all the time (most don't hit the target anyway)! I'm tired of seeing ships "gleek" on enemy ships with all their firepower! In my x-wing, I had three weapons. 2 big blasters and a disruptor. I assigned one blaster to key 3 and my to key 4. As I was flying, I would alternate hitting 3 and 4, which gives one a chance to reset while you fire the other and it also gives your capacitor a chance to recover! Also, it gives you an opportunity to correct your aim and maintain your aim through tracking your target. This trick made me FAR more accurate than many people, and I ended up doing more damage, faster than when I'd open up all 3 guns (and then had to wait for my capacitor to recharge).

Good capacitors are great to have, but good skill is something that carries you through. I fly a B-Wing now and have developed a very similar trick, but instead of 2 at-a-time, I'm firing 4! Yeehaw!
