Pilot Archive

Depends on what you want to fly . If you want to use the JSF and you've gotten the chassis before you hit 4333, than go for it. At 3333, I think most people still bought their parts from Shipwrights. That means that you can use their level 7 crafted parts, most quested Level 8 stuff is too heavy anyways. I didn't get started into REing parts till I was 4444.

If you are happy with your chassis (and it can handle Lvl 8 weight specifications), go 3433. If you want to fly something else, go 4333.

If you have godfathered L8 equipment from a previous pilot grind, x4xx. If this is your first grind take 4xxx for access to the Bel-22, then xx4x (if you're an Imperial), or xxx4 for L5 Astro/FC capability. L8 equipment is only useful if you actually HAVE it to load - otherwise the skill is pretty much useless.

I tottaly agree. I always tell people to take 4XXX first. The increase in 1 level of components can wait in this case. Get the better ship first!

Happy Flying

Ships first only real bonus for crafted lvl 8 equipment is I think Image rec IImissiles and concussion III missiles & they dont hold many missiles better of with Mark III protons.Unless you have a bunch of Level 8 Loot stuff I would pick up equipment last.

Ok, thanks for all that. Still not completely decided - but I'll take a look at what lvl8 loot I have lying around....

(Would you believe, I only found out how RE'ing works a few days ago.... regretting not keeping more /sigh)

I'd go with equipment personally, but that's only because I like the Heavy Syck. Before it came on the scene I would have gone with the ship first. Although if you've done the JSF quest, which is easy or have the Grevious Fighter or just can't wait to pull out an ARC, you should go with the ship first, but I think the heavy syck is a great ship...especially for the tier 4 grind since you can easily buy a new one and the JSF isn't as replaceable.

I'd have to say 4333 for Freelancer, I like the Rihk (3 guns, sky-high mass, and at least manageable maneuverability).

I have problems finding level 8 equipment and for the most part I'm pretty happyusing level 7 and below equipment.

I'd go with 4/3/3/3 if you want a new ship. If you are happy with your ship go 3/3/3/4 and get higher astromech certification.
