Whats the best ship I can get at pilot 1111?

I've finally decided to try a bit of space content but I'm struggling with my current mission at this level with the Tie fighter I got when I started. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance.

You were doing the Nym Lieutenant mission, right? If my memory is working correctly this morning, that makes you an Imperial Pilot. Storm Squadron, I believe. This correct?

If so, the best you can fly is a Heavy TIE. Not just at 1111, but pretty much until you get to Tier 4. They're kind of expensive, though.

for imperial the heavy tie fighter till 4333 then switch to JSF

hvy tie has 90k mass

good luck getting one though took me 10 days of bugging every SW i could find and then luckily coming across a guy who had a JSF kitted out for mining to get the asteroid rescources needed

SHAMELESS PLUG

If any eclipse imperial pilots are after a heavy tie then mine is my bank willing to let it go for 250k half the price than most SW sell them for when they can actually get the resc to make em

I used to believe that, but not so much anymore. Yes, the learning curve is steep between Tiers 2 and 3. Yes, you'll likely die a lot, and probably get frustrated all to hell. But doing Storm as your first squadron, especially if you have no intentions of doing a second, will make you a muvh better pilot by the end of it than any other squadron in the game.

i fully agree due to the amount of times i was dieing and not just being lame and calling in help at first failiure, i decided to pop along to the pilot boards and the info i found not just on what a good ship should be but on piloting techniques and strategy's got me through it and has made me a better pilot and more aware of what iwant a ship to do.

ie my JSF had crammed a 97 speed engine it but with a awful ypr of 60 after reading certain posts figured for size of craft more manouverablity would be betternow i run it on a 79 72 until can gather more components for re to get some better speed and i find this a lot nicer to use than the previous eng.
