Pilot Archive

Why are you posting this again? The other, indentical, thread hasn't even left the front page.

To summarize: "There is no best ship. They all play different roles. Fly them yourself and see which one fits your piloting style."

Or, God forbid, do as I've said before.
Fly them and decide on your own or if you're just worried about what's best on paper the stats have been posted here many times and are in the FAQ.

The best ship is that which is flown by a competant pilot. Go figure out which one is best for yourself.

Actually we've just been messing with you.

The BEST ship for ANY Ace Pilot is the Y-8, but ONLY once you unlock the extra engine bay through the quests from Kenobi's house, it's a DAMNED fast ship with handling and turning rates comparable to the JSF.

Unlocking the extra engine bay however isn't enough.

You've ALSO got to find a Shipwright who's got the EXTREMELY rare loot drops to put the extra weapons and ordinance mounts on for you. You have to be prepared on your end however as this requires an extra Y-8 deed to be canibalized by the SW for the RE prior to fitting the new guns.

If you want to go all out you can do the quests located at waypoint -4680, 4330 on Endor. The closest starport is the Smuggler's Outpost. You'll need a group to get to the bottom, two or three non-Jedi of at least CL 25 should be more than sufficient. Go to the location, and in the bottom room you'll find an NPC Shipwright who'll give you a three part quest. Once you finish that trio of quests you'll be awarded a 'Detachable Nacelle' that replaces the bottom of your Y-8 (Again, you'll need to visit your friendly local Shipwright).

At this point you'll be among the most well equipped pilots here.

And this is why you get the "you could have spent less time just giving me the answer" posts. But they're not nearly as much fun as this

I collect those posts actually, like the young'uns and their blasted Pogs.

whats the best imp master ship for deep space, for missionos with guildies, and for pvp, keep these 3 ships in mind

I am kind of wondering what your problem is, this is your third Ship vs. Ship thread. Completly identical to one of the others. You apperently either can't read or enjoy annoying others by asking the same questions over and over again.

I am pretty sure that his problem is that he is either too stupid to grasp what we are telling him or thinks we are hoarding our knowledge like dragons with gold pieces. Either way, he'll find that the best way to learn to fly is to actually go out and fly. We may be able to give tips, but all the tips in the world won't help if you can't put them into practice.

Dude, no way, the "Meatlump King" fighter pwns teh Kenobi Y-8. 3 guns, 2 missiles, 210k mass, same stats as an Interceptor. Looks like one also but it has 4 panels in an X configuration. The color is completly random though. The deed is found inside the 5th locked container inside 4 previous locked containers. The original container is only dropped by the Meatlump King, found in the Meatlump cave on Rori.

Handles like the Gungan Light Fighter without having the benefits of at least dual flight comps.
The KY outperforms your choice if for no other reason than the quad ordinance mounts on each wingtip post-upgrade.

ow.
