Thread: 3/3/3/3 Vortex Pilot Needs Advice
I suggest either going 4333 for the A-Wing, you use the lower level components in it anyway.
Or going 3334 for more programs.
I DO NOT recommend doing 3433 first, not if you don't already have many good lvl 8 components REed. They would only fit on your Longprobe.
Basicly it is up to your style and what ship you fly. The normal X-Wing will do good with lvl 2 to 7 equipment (lvl 7 blasters(2), shields and engine, the rest as it fits, maybe a REed lvl 6 engine, my old X hadnt much room left and except the 3rd weapon slot I had everything filled).
Wait for the adv. X-Wing when you are Ace... it is much more fun with lvl 9 blasters.
I didn't have any benefit of any of the Tier4 boxes when I did them, so I chose them randomly. Level 8 components (non-RE)were too heavy so I couldn't really use them, and A-wing was way too small in mass for the (still non-RE) components I had.
But now if you're ready to do the advanced X-wing mission, then take the 1st box then the 2nd. You'll do good use of that ship.

thanks for the advice. I dont know how to use droid programs though so that box wont benefit me really.
Read thru the stickied posts, droid programs will save your life more times that you can count.
I've Ace'd Vortex with 3 different pilots, so you can add that into the equation when you consider my advice.
1. Get a L4 Astromech and an L4 Flight computer, find the Capacitor, Engine, Reactor, and Weapon Overload 3, and Capacitor to Shield Shunt 3 program chips and program them both. You'll need the flight comp for the A and B-Wing, and the Astromech for the X, Y, and Z-95 (both normal and Heavy mass varients)
2. Get your L6 reward engine RE'd with other components, and slap it into your Y-Wing Longprobe or your X-Wing.
Get your training in components, because while you're doing your missions one of your reward items is the L8 shield, that RE's to a nice 2555 front and back protection. Then get to 4-4-3-3 and go to Kashyyyk station and get the 2 escort missions from the station, then talk to Emya and do those missions, get some nice reward items (booster and gun) and get sent to the Rebel outpost. Do the escort mission and tell the Outpost you're "looking for a challenge" - do the Corvette mission and get the deed for the Advanced X-Wing.
Where are you suppsed tog et your elvel 6 reward engine?

What droid commands do you mean? Im taking your advice seriously and trying to do exactly as you said.
Are the commands you think i should get Engine Overload 3, Reactor Overload 3, Weapon Overload 3, Capicatator Overload 3, and Shield to Shunt Capicator 3? If so ill pick these up immediately. Thanks
