Here, the choice is yours. If you are NOT coming back to this particular Faction, Redeed the Faction related ships, as the poster above states, you won't have access to them again. Ships such as the JSF, KSE, and Grievous are cross-faction flyers. Once you hit the proper level you'll have access to them again. Up until that point, you won't, so, bear that in mind.


If you Are coming back, say, to Rebel, you might, might, want to get a Heavy Z-95 (Heavy Syck for Neut, Heavy Tie for Imp) and "Pre" load it with some choice parts. You might. You might not. This option, of course, is only available if you ARE this faction, and intend to return. The down side is that it locks up those particular components until you return to that tree, but it's a glide. Some people say it removes the challenge, so, bear that in mind though, if you are looking for more challenge, that is always out there. there's nothing saying you can't also fly a crappy ship.


Though, as a returning pilot, for every Pilot Faction you Master you recieve a 100% XP bonus so, the time you spend grinding xp is that much shorter than a Greenhorn, plus, since you've already been through this at least once before, you shouldn't face the confusion that starts with questions such as... How the heck do I fly this thing! And, "Where's my escortt? I'm lost!"


I'm a fan of Pre-loading, but, that said, whenever you go into a New Faction, you are a pioneer all over again and, that is a great deal of fun as well. I'm about to go into my third faction either tonight or tomorrow morning Just bought a heavy tie and, rounding up my starter parts again. (I redeeded all of my Neutral ships except my Unloaded, UnHeavy Scyk.

Most definately

Do I need to re-deed my ships before hand? Or will it just not allow me to take of in the ships im not certed with?

Yes, but there is an exception,





The heavy varients of the noob ships (tie,skyk?, rebs have 1 too cant remember the exact name y-49?) can be used after dumping your pilot skills,so long as you are switching to a squad within the same faction. These ships can be loaded with your most insain components and you will be able to use the ship starting at tier 1. If you remove components from the ship you will not be able to put them back in untill you earn the right to do so.


Honestly the heavy ships are the only hulls you need for tier 1 - ACE even if you are starting from nothing. 95k mass on highly manuverable ships is pretty ritious. The only thing that separates the heavy noobs from the JSF and B-22 is the heavys only have 1 weapon and 5k more mass, the flight characteristis are exactly the same.
