Pilot Archive

really? well do you have any tips?? im a noob to space pvp, pretty good at pve, but i get killed in pvp with an a wing vs a jsf/bel22, i do good whne im in my own bel22 but i can't handle more than even odds, i get killed, so please, give me tips mabey some loadout tips for an a wing, im getting a lvl 2 reactor, lvl 8 shield, lvl 7 gun and a lvl 8 engine RE'd, tell me, is this too big, or just right or what?

i want to get good at using pre ROTW ships in pvp, i want to get away from my bel22

now for pve i won't stop using my y-8 or advanced x wing, theyre just too cool

Throttle back to 80% speed and turn like crazy. Don't try to be faster, be more agile.

i see......well once my reverse engineering projects are done, i'll see how it goes.......it just sucks getting killed in pvp because i always get attacked when im blowing the ISD in deepspace its a bummer

Pre-RotW, it was TIE/Advanced and TIE/Opressor. After RotW, I was lucky enough to get my RGT without bugging and absolutly loved it. I flew that until I picked up the JSF. That thing is still a dream to fly. I used it until we had a big space PvP event (Kettemoor's Kashyykian Blockade). After the battle I felt like crap having witnessed firsthand what it can do in the hands of a capable pilot, let alone an average one. I deeded it and stashed it somehwre. I couldn't even tell you where the deed is at right now, nor do I care. If they fixed the hit box on the RGT, I would fly it in PvP. It's a beautiful ship. I have gone back to my TIE/A though. It can beat JSFs, and anything else out there, with the exception af Janu's Image Rec II's. Right before our last big PvP battle my Lady RE'd my bolt driver and IPW, and I was able to squeeze them into it. Made a heck of a difference in offensive output, but I miss the two level 7 crafted units I had in it. They were green bolts with identical firing speeds.

Without a doubt, the A-wing.

It is sleek, sexy and an all round great ship to take home to your parents.
On starsider, a lvl 8 or good lvl 7 re'd gun I think is essential if you want to be competitive against everyone you meet since at times you're horribly out-numbered. For one weapon hard point I want the most damage I can get per shot with ultimate effectiveness and refire rate doesn't matter too much to me since I'm pretty accurate when I make my shots.

What I get with an A-wing that I don't get with any other ship, personally (apart from a TIE Advanced if I were Imperial) is...'I know what I'm doing with this ship. I've worked hard on it and have taken one hell of beating to get to the standard I am today and will continue to improve with what I have'

I am partial to my Y-8.

Of course, for dogfighting it ain't so hot... For that, I like the Vaksai.

Well, the X-wing is my favourite ship to 'look' at

Im thinking real hard about making it my favorite ship to 'fly'.

The learning curve is going to be painful, but its something ive always wanted to do. Deep down i think its possible to be good in that ship, despite its size, but i also know its going to take alot of "quick visits" to dant station before i'll get "it" down pat.

for now the duney, i'm still a green little twig, but it pwns in PvE, and i space dueled my friend onec and beat him (he was in a heavy z-95, though, i did sort of cheat, by starting right under him.)

for sheer firepower the x wing , with 3 weapons and a descent mass I have turned my x into a deadly viper, no room for armor mom just 3 lvl 8 weapons firing simultaneously,and its over for you. I use all lvl 4 parts for everything else.

for the big bad muhfufers I use the longprobe. It is great mass for armor and shields plus looks awesome with the right engines.

arc 170 for friends that want to play but are not so great of pilots. this beats out the over complexity of a multi-passenger battle.

grievance ship is my cat. you are my mouse. that ship is incredible manueverability andI would pit it against any other ship in a dogfight.
