Pilot Archive

Decided to post this for those pilots having trouble like I was.

I had a cake walk really till I hit Tier 4. Then it got hard and I started dying and needed help for the first mission I tried. I tried the Duty Missions and found them too hard also except for escort mission but that has lowest xp for me. I am not the worst pilot but I am also not the best. I am average and then a pilot friend who is awesome told me to get other faction Droid Programs.

Took me awhile but I got them plus extras for higherTier 5 and 6 droids and flight computers.

Engine Overcharge 3

Weapon Overcharge 3

Reactor Overcharge 3

Capacitor Overcharge 2 (couldn't fit 3 in which I havefor next lvl of droid)

Also got shield shunt 3 and am upset its better than the Rebel shield programs.

Got all of the above and the normalization which I have never used yet. Can't really see why I would need them but have them just in case.

Normally in the Black Sun Pirate Duty Missions I can struggle along going for the disable and then mop up later. But thats time consuming and still I eventually get over whelmed by the number of ships coming at me. Well last night I was able to activate ALL the programs above and shield stunt has like a 10 seconds timer before its ready to go again so your shields become a non issue almost and it does frond and back with no downside. With the above on I was able to fly much faster enabling me to get ona ships tail and stay there and OWN the mobs. With the above and 3 advanced Blasters on my X-wing I was able to keep constant fire and not run cap dry (in fact it was full red)and all the same time annihilate anyships I hit. I would say average time to kill a ship that I got in my sights was 2-3 seconds. I had to leave to go to bed but I did first 3 waves and never even came close to dying at all. In fact the worst I had was 50% shields and in 10 seconds that was repaired thanks to shield shunt and with Capacitor Overcharge it makes little difference to the Capacitor. I was truly amazed at the difference it made. Killed so many ships so fast my inventory is full of loot and got 300K xp in about 30 minutes or so. Best I have ever done.

So for pilots who are struggling....get a full set of programs. It can literally double the power of your ship and thats a conservative estimate. The down side is it takes about 5 minutes to get all these on with a 14.8 droid but then your set for your time in space and at the end total repair bill is 20 credits. I launch and then start them all upand then go on my way.

I hope this helps some people.

Good advice. I got my husband to make me capacitor overcharge/reset chips and it makes a world of difference. I didn't know about shield stunt, so will have to get him to make me one of those. Haven't found an imperial pilot tomake me the ones for weapons/engines yet, though (haven't really tried either hehe).
