I know alot of the more avid pilots on the forums abhore them but maybe just maybe we could find a pasing use for them.
My best suggestion for this is a "JSF wars" Idea(some would say we're flying in it already) but basically it'd be a PvP event where everyone was in a JSF/B22 with only the barest of ground rules:
1) no Epulse of any kind
2) no ordanance
3) must be in JSF/B22 to compete
honestly it wouldn't bea level playing field even to those with better components since some pilots live in theirs and others almost never fly one but IMO it'd be one helluva fun furball

I dunno, unless you limited engines it could be somewhat boring if everyone was moving too fast. JSF vs. JSF with good pilots can drag on forever.
But it's a cool idea all the same.

Personally, id prefer to take part in a heavies battle. Y-wings, b-wings, Krayts, Rhix, Firespraysand Oppresors duking it out would be wicked.

kinda but en masse not so much it's when it was thinning out you'd get that but with possibilty of 3 people or more trying to land a bead on you with near equivalent maneuverability it could work

that would be interesting for sure, however you might wanna spec which Y-Wing and if you allow the standard could they bring a gunner.

Yeah, Nes and I caught each other in ROTW ships while farming FP in DS. I in my B-22 and Nes in the JSF. Our duel lasted something like 10 minutes before i got dead.

Give me an 80-85k mass TIE Advanced and I'll stop using the JSF.
Until then, I'll keep using the JSF. Duels only last ten minutes because people spend time circling each other and never working in variation because they're piss-scared any screwup means their ass.

that's a duel I'm thinking like 10-20 Vs10-20 with that densitiy would be nowhere near as long cause if even on dies that increases numbers on one's alive

Or you don't duel good pilots. Most of my dogfights are pretty short, one side or the other bites it quickly. There are a few pilots - Joce above was one, Ayanami who posts here is another - where the fights can drag on forever, because a good pilot will also be evading. Joce and I spent a fair amount of time outside of the circle, no reason to be a jerk and start insulting people.

My favorite fight was a loooong drag on with Ayanami where we finally tagged each other, and both of us lost our weapons at the same time. Kind of a, "well....dang," moment of staring at each other in space.

Actually, I've flown against the best Rebel pilots on Eclipse and handed most of them successive defeats, in a TIE Advanced AND a JSF. Hell, I've even scored two gun kills in an Oppressor, and I wasn't even planning on engaging anyone in that.
The ranks are diminishing everyday though.

That was me and Haro in Deep Space one night...I was in my Actis, he was in a TIE Oppressor...and I knew I couldn't let him tag me or I was dead, so I was concentrating on evading and looking for an opening...and finally took a chance. We both ended up with dead reactors within 100 meters of each other.
At that point, there wasn't much either of us could do.
