I was looking at the TIE Aggressor and was wondering if someone ever have this configured as a Heavy Fighter.
With 120K mass, you should be able to cram a level 8 or level 10 RE'd engine. Then have your main weapon a single Level 10 RE'd blaster, and perhaps whatever was left a tiny tail gun.
How will it handle?
Will it be able to dogfight, and will that extra mass allow for beefier shields?
And if you do go up with a tail gunner how would you configure it? I mean conceivably this can really defend itself against A-Wings coming up the back...
I mean NPC TIE Aggressor Gunners are the best shots in the game. I've flown on a rebel friend's Y-Wing, so I know.
Just curious as to people's outfit of the TIE Aggressor. This is one of the rarer ships I see out in space, and most unique.
Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

the aggressor is an odd ship. it handles "better" than the tie oppressor in that itresponds slightly quicker, however it's acc. and dec. are slower, which can be a bit tricky. it's saving grace is it's hitbox size, which i would compare to the regular tie interceptor. certainly it has the smallest hitbox of any ship in the gamewith a mass above 100k, and a speed rating comparable to smaller ships.
saying it doesn't have any good qualities is absurd.
prior to ROTW i would have said the aggressor is a total midrange imperial sleeper, capable of a nasty surprise from a sneaky turret pilot, midrange handling, a deceptively small hitbox and enough mass to slap in some serious protection. it's no difficult feat tocram alevel 8engine, a single level 10 gun and very capable protection in this ship. i personally would take the aggressor to tier 5 PVE (aside from the ghrag duty) over any other imperial ship save the oppressor any day of the week.
with the right setup i bet you could make it work pretty well in group PVP... but it would take some tweaking and practice.
