Pilot Archive

Hey there everyone I compiled everything I could find into an .XLS HERE and calculated some averages.

Here are some observations that we can make based on this data.

• MASS: Rebel ships have a much larger average mass than all other factions. Imperials have the least.


• Maneuverability: Imperials have the highest average while Rebels have the lowest.


• Hardpoints: Rebels and Privateers have the same average number of projectile hardpoints while Imperials are much lower. Privateers however have fewer missle and turret placements than all other factions.

Other interesting items to note are as follows

• All three master ships have exactly the same stats


• All three novice ships have exactly the same stats


• The B-Wing is the only ship to have four projectile hardpoints


• The B-Wing is is the heaviest shiphaving 90K more mass than the TIE Bomber and no penalty in terms of maneuverability


• The B-Wing is the only ship to have more than 4 total hardpoints. It has 6


• There are two more Imperial ships (9) than Rebel and Privateer ships (7)


• The X-Wing has 3 projectile weapons and is 3x more maneuverable than the other (Privateer) ships with the same number of projectile hardpoints.


• Imperials are the only faction to not have a ship with more than 2 projectile weapons


• No privateer ship has more than one missle hardpoint except for the YT-1300 at master


• No privateer ship has a turret except for the YT-1300 at master


• The TIE Oppressor is the only non-master ship to have 3 missle hardpoints

We can argue about this forever but there is certainly some imbalance here. None of the privateer ships have turrets or more than one missle? Imperials get 2 extra ships? The X-Wing has 3 projectile weapons and is 3x more maneuverable than any other 3 projectile ship? The B-Wing is the only ship to have 4 projectiles? The Oppressor is the only ship to have 3 missle hardpoints? Imperials don't have a 3 projectile ship?

There needs to be a little more balance...
