okay so my problem is that i really, really like the light fighters but im starting to not be able to even put one decent gun on my ship without it going over the ship weight limit. right now im a privateer pilot 3-3-2-2 and was wondering if there are any other fast and nimble fighters with a weight limit higher than the sad 40k kihraxz. i love my kihrax but i can find any light components that are any good. ive tried getting a heavy scyk on tempest but ive yet to find a SW that has the recources necessary to make one also ive read the FAQ about the vaksai but i dont think i'd live through the series of missions necessary to get it.....

Go with the Dunelizard. It's the perfect multi-function ship to, at least, tier 4. Some folks even use it as thier primary after that (although there are much better ships.)


Dunelizards are great!

If you love the Khirakz, you'll love the Vaksai when you hit 4/4/3/3.

If you want a heavy scyk, either buy mining equipment or do the mining quest and get yourself 1k iron and 1k petrochemical asteroid resources and thake them to a SW.

You will probably do better to fly a Dunelizard. I mastered Freelance before ROTW and few a Dunie all the way to master.

Yeah, as said above, if you can get the mining resources, you can probably get a SW to make you the heavy Scyk at a reduced rate. I did the mining on my radiant alt in a NEWBIE Tie fighter with 1211 skill so I could use the mining laser (taking out 3 tier 3 pirates for the mining quest sucked but I did it ) so that I could make the heavy TIE. I have to say, the asteroid resources were boring to mine and the worst part of building it. That's why you don't see heavy variants around much.


I highly suggest doing this and getting the heavy version if you like light fighters. There's bound to be a SW to accomodate you if you bring the asteroids.

I will add a third support for that. Once I certed for the lizzie, I flew itexclusively untilI certed for the Krayt.The lizzie is one of the best all around servicable ships you can have, imo. Until very recently I kept if fully loaded out and readyto fly on my data pad and would take it out for joy rides. Now Ifly my Krayt and my newly gained Vaksai which is whatfinally replaced my Dunlizard.

If you can't get hold of the asteroid resources, try talking to a SW on your sever. Chances are, they know someone that can get them. May cost a bit more but since the mining quest is bugged (from what I hear) this may be your only option.

You don't need a mining ship to mine though, just to do the first level of the quest series (patrol Corellia space and kill 3 tier 3's), should be doable at your level... its doable at 1111. Then you get the laser and cargo hold from the contact on Talus and you can go mine yourself, loading the equipment onto whatever fighter you have.Will take a couple hours, but worth the end result. The problem is if you buy the resources, you will likely pay out the nose. Asteroid resources sell for obnoxious amounts, due to how lame they are to get.

I'd also say to go with the Dunlizard.

Remember, bringing your own asteroid resource will probably make the difference between an easy inexpensive job and a pricey little ship. If it were me, I'd spend the hour or so to get my own stuff and bring it to the SW.
