The nice thing about the BS Duty missions are.. they come in crazy, increasing waves.
First set maybe something like 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 Wave over... after a few of those though...
2 - 4 - 6 - 6 - 7
I've seen up to 9 Fighters come in the last section of a wave if you keep doing the mission long enough.
I know, I know... how do you fight 9 at once... easy, the AI is so stupid that 4 or 5 of them usually fly in big sweeping circle around you all bunched up. It's completely possible to kill 3-4 at once just firing into the pack.
I've taken on 14 Tier 4 TIE's at once and lived. Only killed 3 since I was concentrating more on commandsand flying than actual fighting.
I've also done every mission from Novice to 4-4-4-4 solo, including the Advanced X-Wing quest. However I was unaware that I could bring friends on the missions until 3-3-3-3. 
I do use my Advanced X-Wing foreverything,it has...
98 speed Starfighter engine - flown at half speed for dogfighting goodness. ( This brings up another issue, see below )
2443/2443 Shields - NOT tampered with via ANY commands - also not RE'd, this is a straight drop.
Cap goes up to 1888 with Overcharge 2 on the Go-Bot droid.
3 weapons that do Base 7.5k Damage up to 13.5k Damage - rare they ALL hit since they shoot those little, slow, fuzzballs.
Engine Issue
Why is it, that no matter what engine I use it seems like for best results dogfighting I need to shut it down to half speed? Like I said above, I have a 98 Top Speed engine and cut it to half speed for dogfighting. So in theory, I should be able to get a 45 - 50 speed engine and fly at full speed all the time. Doesn't work, still have to cut that one to 50% for best results. Sorry, just something I noticed.

its not the actual speed that matter. Instead it is the optimal turning speed which varies with chassis. no matter what engine or overload you use you will alway get your best turning at about 50% throttle
Edit: ..... in an x-wing.

Dang rebs, I am so jelous of your Adv x-wing. shoot. who needs POB ship with the weight and weapon platform on that monster.
I wish I could back all that life saving "goodness" on my ship. LOL

Trust me, I would have much rather gone Imp Pilot for the Style points... but if I recall, when I looked at the Imp Tier 4 ships, I was looking at 50k Mass?
I almost scratch out my eyes trying to fit in 180k Mass.
50K !?!
That's a big SOE can Blow ME on that one.
I have PARTS that weigh 46k in my toolboxes at the house.
