Without givingtoo manyof your secrets away, can you give me a rough example of what components you use, their level and mass?


I'm having trouble just deciding what to put into my xwing and that has 100k. I noticed that alot of the level 8 components are as much as 30k in mass. So are you flying with lower level components?


So far I have gone for fire power and have taken out my front armor and booster and I've done just fine on my first tier 4 mission, and have no problems on the tier 4 black sun duty missions.


Do you really need armor? After your shields are gone , you're pretty much dead anyway?


Also, I'm using more power than my reactor actually has.I haven't noticed this being a problem so far. what effect does this have on me?


One last question, can you give me an example of what weapons you use? It takes me a minutes per tier 4 kill. is that about right?

I use a level 6 engine re, two level 7 re weapons, a mark3 shield (it hink) mark one reactor, mark 1 cap, and those are the basic, a couple peice of armor to buy me one or two shots if I get in trouble. But mostly use the bobmber if I am using that level ship, is a flying fortress, may not trun the best but the weapons more then make up for it.

An Xwing could pretty easily fit crafted engine, shield, and 3 weapons for your cert level (7 is the closest SW lvl to the tier4 Xwing). This should be your baseline for performance.Saving your reward gear until it can be reverse engineered to lower its mass is the most prudent thing to do.


Some other mass saving tips:


A low lvl reactor, and running the reactor overload program. A lvl1 crafted reactor saves significant mass, but if you cant get enough power from one, then try to find good level 3 loots and get it RE'd


Looking for Level6 loot guns and getting them REd is one of the first things you can do to shave mass for heavier reward items. These are probably the most efficient weapons in the game, when it comes to a mass/effect ratio. Not hard to find for RE purposes either.


Your Level6 reward engine can become up to 4500 lighter with a good low mass engine in the RE mix. take some extra time to hunt for one 10k or lower pre RE.


As with your reactor, your other support systems should be where you look to shave mass. Booster, DI,and capacitor can often be much smaller than what you would think, without losing much ground.


Put armor in last, fitted to what mass you have remaining.

listen to his advise, this is how you do it. fit the engine you want, the guns you want, and the shield you want, and thenwork everything else around that.

lvl6s guns when re'd can hit around 2600 max dmg .68 to shields .37 refire rate and 10k mass if you look hard for the right parts.



my xwing loadout was as follows.


re'd reward engine 9k mass 1300 reactor drain (VERY important if you want to run eo4) 95.9 speed

re'd reward shield 25k mass(i got really lucky with a low mass lvl8 to re with)

dual re'dl7 imperial "boltdriver"reward cannons about 15k mass each

re'd l8 "tri-cannon" reward gun

mkII crafted reactor 13k output 3k mass

l2 loot capacitor 1.3k mass 38 recharge 900 storage

mkII booster, 2.5k mass 35 speed

mkII armor

chaff launcher

l1 14 speed droid interface



this is a good loadout to shoot for, start collecting the right loot for it and get some reversed engineered parts.


my awing loadout was the exact same parts minus the boltdrivers and the armor. both ships were made obsolete when i got my JSF though, so i dont even have them in the datapad anymore. my JSF laodout is classified.




really though i dont see a point in equiping an xwing for max effect when you can just do the missions for a heavy xwing and get the same ship but with 180k mass.
