Just got my Tie Aggressor, load her up and take her out. Spot my target, move in for the kill. Almost in my sights BLAMMO! My forward shooting guns are shooting straight down, and my rear guns dont shoot at all. Cant even see their graphics on my ship at the rear turret mount point. So I test around with about 10 blasters I have and the two weakest ones are the only ones that give me the blaster graphic on the rear turrent mount point. So what high damage guns work on this thing?? Has anyone compiled a list?



So sad to see this go out the window. Guess it's back to WOW for me.

The pilot does not see the blaster graphics on the rear-mount turret, only the gunner does. If you don't have a gunner, you can't use the turret at all. I don't know why you're having problems with the front guns, though. They should work like any other pilot-controlled gun.


Honestly, the Agressor is only good for having the gunner mooch XP or missions off of the pilot. I flew as gunner for one of my guild's aces last night and only got 3 kills (though I did get 300k xp total). Because it doesn't have full rotation, it's very difficult to do much in it. Especially if the pilot is juking. Even when there are a bunch of marks chasing you, the pilot's necessary evasive maneuvers make hitting anything nigh impossible.

In 3rd person the pilot can indeed see the turret fire graphics. The OP's problem is common and has been around since JTL launch, and it does royally suck.


If you have a decent pilot, who knows this ship and turret, and have a good gunner, it can be quite effective in PvE...I have been thinking about trying this in PvP...but am having a hard time getting my head around the loadout.

Sorry, Dax... I'm relatively new to trolling on the Pilot boards, so I haven't gotten used to who's a common poster yet


I have my Agressor outfitted with Advanced Blasters on the front and Heavy Blasters on the back. It does well, for a unwieldy boat, but the consiquence is often a seasick gunner lol.

When I pilot anything with a gunner, my first objective is to line up the best shots for him. So when I fly my gunner gets plenty kills, it's me that comes away with 3 kills unfortunately. And assume that i'm not doing anything stupid like trying to shoot the rear guns. Although with one of the buggy guns I have I was able to shoot the rear guns from the front ... let me stop now before I crush what little credibility I may have here... lol. I would still love to see some names oftried and proven high damage rear gunz
