Yep.. its true - examples:
-Jipped on ground-
1) The ace gear.. the helmet is hideous compared to the rebel and privateer helmets
2) We dont get any container bandoilers
Mostly cosmetic stuff but still..
-In space-
1) All our ships lack firepower.. now I know the imperial mindset is "attack with a huge number of crappy fighters and overwhelm them" but we dont even get an option for a heavy fighter.. the TIE Oppressor is a nice bomber due to the 3 ordnance but the highest we get are 2 guns
The rebels have options for high firepower(Xwing) and intercepter class fighters (Awing)
And im not all familar with the privateer things but I know they got some dang awesome ships as well
And im not all familar with the privateer things but I know they got some dang awesome ships as well
2) We get screwed on mining because we cant carry more than 2 weapons at once.. mining laser + blaster works good in low level minng areas but in kessel it takes forever to kill a tier 5 using 1 wep
3) Our tier 4 duty missions suck for grinding FP due to they're all pirates
4) We cant try to farm efficiently for a blacksun ace helmet cause of no blacksun duties (I heard somewhere they dont drop off the duty blacksuns anyway.. someone confirm?)
Soooo.. yeah just had to get that off my head

1.I prefer the imperial helm over the privateer helm
2.Rebels dont get any container bandoliers either
space
1.The imperial guard interceptor, and interceptor are quite decent. more guns <> better
2. I've mined ina n oppressor (mined in x wing before too) and i thought it was just the same
3. I've never used a duty mission to grind fp
4. I didn't get my black sun ace fighter helm off black sun duties.

-lower end imp ships are far easier to handle than the 'buckets' the rebs get
-The tie pilot suit and helmet sure beats the hell out of the bright orange jump suit
-Rebel ace helmet is the best, I agree. But I think the imp one looks better than the privateer
-At 4-3-3-3 rebels get A-wing....Imps get the chance to get JSF....go figure.
-Ever tried doing the Star Ravager? It's infinately harder than chucking a bomber strike at a vette, then finishing it off.
Out of the masters I've done I would say imp was the most enjoyable, and had the better ships available.

"2) We dont get any container bandoilers"
Hmmm i found a double strapped bando on vendor search that acted like a backpack but when i tryeed to equip i got "You must be a imperial pilot to equip"

HELL no. The TIE suit and helmet ROCK. Give me that over the orange crap anyday.

I did. I am an Ithorian. Since I cannot wear the TIE jumpsuit, I got a Double Bandolier.

Any time you wanna try me in my Royal Guard Interceptor or my Eta-2, you give me a tell.

I have my Eta-2 and I can handle 2-3 Tier 5s at once with no problem....probably no more than 7-10 seconds engaged per ship.I use 2 Re'd Kessel Scorchers.

There is no RULE saying you have to grind on the duty missions. I grind in Kashyyyk space. Left over Gunboats and tier 5s everywhere.

Most people just farm them in deep space.

That's what you get for following a wrinkled old man who wants absolute power. The Empire follows the old USSR military style, may not have the best equipment but our numbers will overwhelm our opponets.

Tell me please.. how do you use 2 normal guns and still mine? Last itme i checked the Eta-2 only has 2 weapon slots?

Do Rebels get one of these, too? The backpacks just don't work with flightsuits. I need something more stylish to hold my equipment in.

Just privateers, which means you at least don't have to drop either faction.

I've flown them all. Out of the stock chasses, the Imperial fighters are the "best" for PvP. Maybe you haven't run into a good Oppressor, Tie Advanced or Tie Interceptor pilot. I have.
Plus, the Imperials get the quest for the fabled (blah!) ETA-2 (Jed-eye Starfighter)

I used to be seethingly jealous of the A-Wing, personally. They're so small.
