I believe the xp is divided up between the ppl on the ship.

Bomber, Oppressor, and Decimator our your imp multi-passenger options

Is it the Oppressor or the Aggressor that allows a 2nd gunner?

Also, I am not so worried about xp as I am getting the missions done for these folks. Will them as a passenger trigger the mission? I just want them to get a mission success.

Also, I forgot about the TIE Bomber. That allows a2nd gunner? Anyone recall the MASS on that thing? I know it is a big lumbering beast but I might be able to armor it up enough and bring some missles, etc.... thenbe patient enough to work through all these waves of fighters, etc.. and since it's not timed I am in no rush.

Just trying to figure out the options.

Reason I am asking on the Oppressor, Aggressor and Bomber is I am going to have to purchase one of these to try this (got rid of my old ones after hitting master) and I don't want to purchase the wrong one.

Thanks for additional help/clarification.

Ahhh, thanks for clarifying. That is what I thought. The Aggressor at 120K mass can't really be loaded up with much. Either that or my stuff has WAY more mass than the rest of you.

I see other posts of folks loading uber Leve 10 weapons in pairs, big 2500+ shields, missle packs.....how the heck do you do that without 200+K of mass??

I will give the Aggressor approach a try tonight...see if I can even get one of my guildmates up flying with me. Does he have to be Imp pilot also? He is Freelance.....ugh, that might be another problem!

This is way too complicated!!

The current multiplayer ships are

Rebel Y-wing NOT the Longprobe

Freelance M22-Krayt

Imperial Aggressor NOT the Oppressor or Tie Bomber

then

Freelance YT-1300

Rebel Nova Courier

Imperial Decimator

When I solo a Vette I get 43000 xp/prestige. in a krayt with a buddy I get 26k and change.

Add the ARC 170 to that list.... assuming one has done the quest and can get the deed to generate.....

Get heavy TIE fighters for you low-tire guild members. And have them load them up with good RE components. Should make it easier for them to survive, and then you can do the real work.

Yes the freelancer can man the turret in your Aggressor. Also note a rebel pilot could man your turret and blow up rebs in space. Kinda funny that way. As long as you don't declare it won't ruin his faction either. To make it simple the only restricted positions on multiplayer ships are Pilot and Ops. Any faction can man a turret for any other faction.

Well since he is freelance, get him a heavy scyk.

As for the component uses. Re components have lower mass then crafted ones. A level 9-crafted gun can easily brake 35k. and the same with the others. You have to economic with the mass.

As an Imp Ace I can fly a Krayt? I thought you had to be Freelance to fly it?

I understand the mass concept and dropping mass via RE'ing components. I was a shipwright early on and RE'd enough stuff to make my Firesprays. Problem is I am using RE'd stuff and I still have mass issues! lol, I guess my expectations are too high.

On the point of just getting my friends bigger ships........lol, I understand this. The whole point is they don't like space, don't want to ramp up pilot. They enjoy the ground game and are running ground missions in wookie land...only to be forced into space. Think about the alternative......your an Ace pilot and suddenly on a Space mission you have to land on a large vessel and go hand to hand with Level 80 NPC's. Many Ace's are not uber on the ground. It's the same kind of comparison. I enjoy the variety of having a space mission mixed in with my ground mission....but I am already Ace and enjoy flying. I can see where others who are ground based would be upset/disappointed with this approach.
