Hi there,
Over the last new days ive been constantly re-arranging the parts in my ship, and its all kinda confusing. I was wondering if some of you could post your ship set ups on here to help a little. For example, do you go for shields with no armor to make space for weapons? or do you think that engine speed is more important?do you have faster droids or slower ones? and do you think that boosters are a necessity?
Also i used a droid chip weapons overload 4, and it disabled 2 of my guns on my Heavy X wing and also I cant get trhe missile launcher to work either. (There is a circle with a cross next to it) Is this because my reactor isnt powerful enough or is it becuase the capacitor is not powerful enough. Ive got the most powerful capacitor I can find (1200 recharge 50) and my reactor power is 16000.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't run weapons overload 4, it'll increase drain on all your weapons (all 3 blasters, your ordinance, and your countermeasures) by 10x. You'll need a pretty large rare-drop reactor power all that, even with reactor overload 4. You'll be able to run WO3 no problem since it's bugged.
Post your entire loadout (mass and energy for each part) and you'll get lots of opinions on it. We pilots love picking apart someone else's loadout, but we're too lazy to post our own for you too look at.
Plus, everyone's loadout is slightly different, it depends on what loot you have collected and REd.

Ok thanks for the reply, I dont know the exact parts in my ship ATM because im not logged on but off the top of my head.
Reactor:MKIV
Mass: 15000
Energy:16000
Engine:MKIV
Mass: 16000
Drain: 2300
Top spd: 101
Yaw: 60
Roll: 60
Pitch: 60
Shield:MKIV
Mass: 43000
Drain: 3000
F/B Hitpoints 2400
Recharge:11 (I think)
Weapons Capacitor
Mass:16000
Drain: No idea
Energy 1200
Recharge: 45
Droid interface:
Mass: 13000
Droid speed: 13.5
Gun 1 : ionic pulse weapon
Damage: 3000 (MAX)
Shields: 0.5
Armor: 0.5
Mass: 13000
Drain: about 2k i think
Gun 2: advanced blaster
Damage : 2800 (Max)
Shields 0.48
Armor: 0.48
Mass: 14000
Drain: about 2k i think
Gun 2: advanced blaster
Damage : 2800 (Max)
Shields 0.48
Armor: 0.48
Mass: 14000
Drain: about 2k i think
I have a MK3 photon launcher which doesnt work (not enough power i think)
I have a tier 1 booster its mass is about 5000 and drain about 500
Armor mass is also really low and only 600 hp front and back
This is just off the top of my head.
Thanks for the reply

Man I don't even know where to start...
16k mass cap is over the top. Weapon speed is a very important stat, you didn't include it. N'stuff. I let some else work over it.

Are you running reactor overload 3 or 4? If power is the issue, that should help you use your proton launcher. Also, make sure it is in a weapon group.
Are you a Master pilot or still tier-4? I recommend a couple level 9 components below that you won't be able to use until master.
A bit on the heavy side. You should be able to get away with a 14.5k energy 8k mass Mark III reactor by running RO3 or RO4.
I would advise you to get a Starmap reward engine (Quantum Ion Drive) and RE it. Don't just RE it with the first 7 L8 engines you loot either. Lots of threads about REing L8 engines around here. Until you do that, while this engine will do, you can do better. I would recommend a Mark V engine, mass 33.4k, drain 2.4k, PYR 71/71/61 Speed 98-100. Sure, you can get a 115-118 speed Mark V, but the PYR is too low. You'll probably have to ask for one of these to be custom crafted, I doubt many Shipwrights stock them.
This is your level 8 Taim & Bak Military-Grade Shield Generator reward. This is a great shield, but try to RE it to 30k mass or lower.
This looks like a Mark IV capacitor. In my opinion, these are too heavy. Try to RE a level 4 capacitor to around the same stats, it'll be much lighter. While you are working on that, get a Mark III capacitor with heavy batter. 1k energy approx 42 recharge. If recharge is important to you, you can get lower energy higher recharge ones.
This is a bit of an odd one, is this a loot droid interface? It could be a Mark V that has been experimented for mass too. It is nice and fast, but way too heavy. I would downgrade to a Mark IV droid interface at 15 (+/- 0.5) speed at 6600 mass or a Mark III droid interface at 18 speed and 2600 mass.
Really, you should be able to fit in 3 Experimental blasters with quickshot upgrades here. Eventually, replace these with REd L8 guns. Start by REing your Incom "Tri-Cannon" down to 25k mass.
Double check that one. A Mark I booster should be around 1k mass. I only go higher than Mark I if there is extra space after applying Mark II or Mark III armor.
