There is a little something called pilot skill. Congrats on your kill.

It has actually more maneuverability than an A-Wing... it is in the middle between a Tie Advanced and a Clone ship (JSF, grieveous, heavy starter ships).

The problem about balancing the ARC170 is that it is a 3 person ship.A 3 person ship manned with 3 persons is by design stronger than normal 1 person ships as they represent three players working together, similar to 3 single 1 person ships in a group. So it should be stronger in this area.

However, you can easily use this ship alone too. 125k mass, higher maneuverability than Tie Advanced/Interceptor and even more than an A-Wing.
This is a problem.

How to make a 3 person ship with 3 personsmore powerful than a 1 person ship without making it more powerful as a 3 person ship with 1 person?
Extremely hard

There has been an idea around for heavy ships having armor and shield strength multipliers. While I do not agree with that (the multipliers for ships were too high) the ideaof having x2/3/4 multipliers for the amount of actively people actively piloting/gunning/operating a ship might solve the problem. But still is not ideal.

The ARC is at least a big target. Now take the JSF... that little thing makes a scyk look like a krayt. 90K mass, and double the agility of a TIE Interceptor to it, and 2 weapon slots in that small a package...

Bring it ill take ya in my Oppresser....i already taken a few arc's ...easy targets.. i dont use missiles either

If i was that oppressor pilot, in round 2, id have IR'd your arse

Grats!
