Thread: New Pilot Looking For Advice
moot point, lol. Too bad about the different servers/no pvp part though. Happy grinding!
If you've got the dosh, get a heavy variant. It'll last you till tier 3 at least.
You've gotta do the squadron missions anyway, and the xp you can get fast enough by doing duty missions. Quickest one at low level is the Yavin Station Debris Cult missions. Tier 2 with the occasional Tier 3 enemies, you'll only need a few at tier 1 to progress, and if you're a half decent pilot you should find them no trouble even in the standard starter ship. The loot and rewards are pretty good to (10-15k per mission, 3-6k per wave for the duty mission)
Tbh, you'd probably be faster doing that instead of turret grinding anyway - unless you happen to have a master pilot at your beck and call.
My advice is to NOT sit in a gunner's seat unless you are very confident in your pilot skills. The more you fly, the better you will be. (You don't see real pilots jumping from the right seat of a Cessna 172 directly into the left seat of aF-15) Also, you would be missing out on a lot ofspace loot. If you are serious about being a pilot, you will be collecting various things like weapons and engines for Reverse Engineering. And anything you don't want can be sold to the chassis dealer for $$$$$$$!
Anyway, my last experience of the TIE Aggressor was that it was buggy and as the "gunner" I watched TV while the pilot did all the work.
