Just wondering what everyone thinks the best tier 4 grind is. So far I'm 4333 rebel pilot. I've done about half my grind on the Black sun duty mission and the other half on random spawns in Kessel. I can kill the black suns slightly faster but the TIEs in Kessel are worth way more xp. So far it seems pretty even.
I just put my A-Wing together but I haven't tried it yet. With only one gun I'm a bit skeptical on how it's going to perform against the tier 5's but I'll hold my judgment until I've tried it.
Also, does grouping affect xp in space? If so, do the other group members need to be in space?
Thanks,

Are the two that spawn with the Corvette the only two I would have access to, or do they also spawn somewhere else?

I prefer the Black Sun duty mission because there's not enough spawn to kill in Kessel sometimes. When you finish the Black Sun duty mission, you get 900K+ xp, 100K+ credit chip, and alot of loots.

which black sun duty mission is this? The Dathomir one or perhaps one I've missed?

I"ve been doing the whole thing with Lokian Black Sun duty missions, but mostly because I want a helmet. No luck on that front.

The one you get from the Warvog Arkon, the Tier 4 trainer (Nym's Hotel), for Havoc Squadron. He sends you to Dantooine.

the BS duties are nice, kessel is nice and another nice spot is dathomir (emp hand) several tier5 freelancers around, tier4s and sometimes hidden dagger gunboats.
when you get boredin one area, move to another.
when you hunt in kessel - dont forget to declare to get some FP as well
you might get the opportunity to fight some players as well, what spices the whole thing up a bit.
*edit* - the A-Wing works fine with Tier5s

That's a good idea, I didn't think of declaring.I tried the a-wing and I didn't like it, I'll have to get some better equipment and try it again. Probably just my play style preference.

Even if im a tier 4 pilot and have access to other ships , i still use my old Y-wing longprobe for almost any mission...do to his high mass capacity u can fit some good equipment on it ..even if its slow i can still keep up with tier 5 fighters....
by the way if you want fast xp Kessel System is the only thing you should think of..anything else is too slow....

The A-wing can be an awsome piece of kit if you have the right stuff. I have one but I use Imp and Freelance chips too. This means I can have capovercharge 4, weps overload 3, shunt to shields 3, engine overload 3 and reactor overload 4, plus the usuall rebel shield programs. This means you are as fast as poo off a shovel, and hit like a bucking donkey. Plus if you do get hit you can use shunt to shield to recharge your shields especially with Cap overload 3 your cap is recharged in no time and you can keep recharging your shields every 20 sec with a decent droid interface. With all that Kit, Tier5 ties are no match for any of the Rebel fighters, even the X-wing packs an awsome punch. I have yet to drain my Cap with these programs
