nope I never got shot by a B-Wing. Only time I was ever hit by a B-Wing it blew out my forward shields and knocked my forward armor to 20HPs, and I shot him down afterwords.
My pvp ship of choice is a TIE Interceptor, thou some of my kills have been in a A-Wing and Later on TIE Advanced and Oppressor.

We have had a few space events on Ahazi. Vegitaa put on the last one that I know of, it is alot of fun. Problem is as far as I know there are no "pilot guilds" on ahazi.

The large font really isnt neccessary, but i suppose it matches the emotional outburst that is just oozing out between the lines.

The RG T/I now might be fitted with any engine too, which is a giant leap to a very efficient ship that was limited by the mass. On the other hand, the combat box of the T/I was just fine, it was not too big and still quite challenging to hit.
ProCambarus:
You're forgetting that I'm talking about the advanced x-wing and VAKSAI. If you check the hard numbers in the pilot FAQ, the Vaksai is AS FAST as the red TIE and MORE maneuverable. And it still has 150k mass, but it's hitbox is rather large like the advanced x-wing's. All I'm suggesting is that if the hitbox is to be normal on the red TIE, then bring it back into balance by making it more maneuverable than any ship, or faster than any ship, or simply by adding more mass. Or some other option. And it could be balanced between multiple options. If you take the hitbox off and call it "balanced" there are many adv. x-wings and vaksai that will take down the RGI with no problem, flying the RGI will be pointless and many will return to their Jedi Starfighters (in return making it feel less like star wars but that's another issue entirely). The RGI wouldn't be able to equip an engine powerful enough to satisfy the needs of maneuverability with only 80k mass, much less a gun and all its other equipment. Ordnance, well there's no way you could fit that on. Vaksai and Adv. X-wings would have no problem, but the RGI would be out of the picture. It needs compensation for the "fixed" hitbox.
Imps will have absolutly no problem turning an RGI into a PvP monster with or without the bugged hitbox. 80k mass is fine for a single weapon ship with an interceptor's stats. If you are an imp and still having trouble making 80k work... then you need to fly a normal interceptor for a while to get better at mass management.

I agree... if the hitbox were fixed the IG would still be an awesome PvP ship... If one can setup a TI or TAdv (or AW) up for PvP, said person should have no problem whatsoever to make the IG godly.
I will go so as to claim that if you feel that the IG should HAVE the current hitbox to be viable in PvP, then my friend, you should go back to flightschool.
Ive personally made quite good setups on both TI, AW, Duneliz and Adv, and a pretty decent one on the 40k TIE...

If they revamped the RGI to have the same hitbox as a T/I and threw in a 2nd gunmount, id be extremely happy.

Oh no doubt, the RGI would be a dream ship if they would do those 2 things.

There are two holes in the same spot at the bottom of the window as on the TIE that could easily be used for a second gun. Must admit though...I have hard enough time getting what I want in with 1 gun.

QFE. Acutally, it already is a PvP monster. In 90% of my past engagements with this ship, the hitbox being skewed made absolutely no difference on the outcome of the fight. I have to add that any RGI pilot KNOWS when they got hit and the only reason they got out unscathed is because of the hitbox being skewed.
