Pilot Archive

Black Epsilon, 4-4-4-4 with a mission to kill a pilot in Dathomir space. So far so good. Grab the TIE bomber just in case there's heavy escorts with a minor concern that I'm out of ordnance to reload my Mk III Proton missles. *shrugs* Not that big of a concern.

Launch, load OC 3 programs. Jump into Dathomir space, catch my target wp and off I go. It's an A-wing target, get to 800m and sic Bomber Strike 2 on him while I take out the escorts. Short work of the escorts, disable the A-wing's engine and make a final pass.

Next phase is disable/escort a YT-1300. Hardest parts of this mission are staying awake and getting used to the fact that the YT doesn't turn white so my "target closest enemy" hotkey is hosed.

The YT jumps out and I get a message to defeat an ambush or something. I really don't have a lot of time to read because my missle warning light goes to permanent "On", and I'm ducking missles like a madman, trying to maintain shields (and not doing too well). Enough time has passed that Ilaunch a second Bomber Strike on a target, hoping some of the flashing red dots will aggro on something besides me. Nothing works, a shot hits my reactor and I'm asking for repairs at Dathomir station.

So the whole mission is pretty routine right up to the end there. My question is should I take my Interceptor next time, or should I drop some more components (like oh, I dunno... chaff launchers maybe?) into my bomber and go again, or should I consider upgrading to a TIE Advanced or Aggressor?

Interceptor, the agility makes me weep.

Yeah, the little darlin' does know how to dance doesn't she?

Hrm. One L8 gun, one countermeasure launcher, shields and a zippy engine vs. 2 L7's, heavy armor and dual missle launchers with a plod-along manuverability. Sort of like asking do I want Sugar Ray Leonard or Mike Tyson (both in their primes not now)?
