Pilot Archive

Sorry, I meant I am also looking for a guide that tells me when I can consider a component a good/average one for my ship.

Anyhow, here are the "general" guides explaining how the many parts work.

The Emporer's retreat is on the planet naboo under the poi tab if thats any help to you (im not sure if you can land there as an imperial pilot - ask at naboo space station... as for the freelance trainer, it depends which squadran you are, ie smugglers alliance, rsf or corsec (started on either tatooine / naboo/ coriella) as to where your next trainer is.

At the first tier you should have collected enough loot is space to not really have to visit the bazaar much to outfit your ship, remember to have a look through the parts you loot in space before you sell them to the chassis dealer.

While I realize this may not be the place for product endorsements .......

I picked up the Primastrategy guide this afternoon and gave it a good once-over. EVERY weapon, NPC, mount, droid, and -- here's my point -- ship component in the game is listed in the book (not to mention a TON of other useful information which I still need to read). Any newbie pilotwho is running into similar issues, or even non-pilots who are overwhelmed by the complexity of this game, will benefit from this book.

prima guides are a ripoff....nothing in there is going to be anything you cant find easily in the pilot forums. Read through the Pilot FAQ first, before you blow money on a guide that gets outdated very rapidly.

and yeah, at 1111 its not going to really matter what you get, the missions will be easy enough that whatever you can find on the bazaar will do just fine. Youll level up to tier 2 and 3 very quickly, and that will let you use much better stuff. There was a friday feature a while back explaining what stats are good to have higher number and which are better lower on space components, just do a little shopping on the bazaar/GWVS and your ship should be up to par in no time.

I have the exact same problem, but I am a freelancer. So I bough a dunelizard, created the chassis, now I need to put the pieces together to create a better ship than the starting one... from where should I start?

I read the guide about upgrading your ship, with all the various parts' stats explained. What I am missing is some reference- I need to know which are the stats for an average component. So, is there a way to know which are the average components stats for an average ship the level of the dunelizard?

I believe we are looking for the same answer?
