Pilot Archive

Doing the same thing. I want to take part in the big RP battles, but err... will have to do it in my step down Bel fighter, as I really cannot bring myself to decay my Heavy X for the purposes of taking part in a 10 minute roleplay event over Endor.

Now, if I could get something to drop other than boosters and armor in DS, I'll be really happy.

I think I only have one or two RE'd parts on my vaksai. The 150k mass give you enough room that they aren't critcal but still help alot.

As for the droid programs... good luck getting past tier 4 unless you have lots of help, and don't even think about PvP without them. it is possible to solo to ace without droid programs if you are an exceptional pilot, but PvP is full of exceptional pilots and all of them use programs.

I made it to the master missions before discovering I could use more than just the Rebel droid commands (which suck). I'm sure you COULD pull it off to become Ace without any, but... man that would be tedious.

Once you are up in Deep Space and fighting against 12 Tier 5 fighters at a time (frequently happens where I aggro 2 gunboat flight groups that spawn within 1k meters of each other) you'll appreciate the droid commands a lot more.

Using droid commands is NOT a crutch, any more than using a booster or shields or armor. It doesn't make you a better pilot, just a pilot who doesn't use all his tools.

It's the equivalent of fighting with one arm behind your back - sure, you might do well, but all othet things being equal, the guy who isn't handicapping himself will win.

If you think there's nothing left for you to learn, then you're not the best pilot you can be.

Malus said that really well. Very good advice on how to think of it.

And in response to: ". I have fought waves of tier 4-5 aces and not used them"

So have I, but I've fought up to 16 (yes 16 at once, there was someone here who claimed 24 in an Awing.. yikes!) tier 5 TIEs as multiple flight groups got stuck at or were spawning out of the ISD and managed to pull it off, heavily thanks to my capacitor overload and shield shunting. (12 is usually my limit for feeling safe though, hehe, I usually take some armor damage against 12 if I'm not really on the ball that flight. 12 is typically 2 flight groups escorting gunboats.The time I fought 16, I limped away trailing smoke from every hole in my ship).
