Shipwright Archive

I'm so happy with my TIE that I went ahead and added it to my signature (or the top half anyways )

I have characters in all 3 pilot factions and the ships I love are:

Rebel - A-wing - its fast, manoeverable and can out-whit almost anything (although for heavier weapons and shields load I also have a Firespray - ready for when I finally get around to promoting myself from 4-4-4-4 to master).

Imperial - TIE Advanced - as with the A-wing but with more punch (with good RE'd weapons).

Privateer - its got to be the Krayt, although the Ixiyen is a close 2nd - the Krayt is reasonably fast, manoeverable in the hands of a good pilot, and it has weapons that hurt.

I'm certainly looking forward to trying out the new ships as they come out.

Freelance: Dunelizard. It's the best overall ship in the game in my humble opinion.

Rebel: A-Wing.

Imperial: Have to get back to you on that one. Still running Imperial squadrons.

So far I'm most pleased with the TIE Interceptor. I'm only at 3/3/3/3 Imperial, but I can't imagine myself going to any ship with the slower turn speed than the good old Interceptor. It's a bit difficult to juggle the mass at times, but with good RE'd components it's not too bad.

Hmm, tough question. I enjoy the TIE Intercepter, TIE/in in Deep Space is a blast, TIE bomber is challenging but fun, Firespray has awesome firepower, the Advanced seems to be my work-horse, and the Dunelizard is great for on my alt (haven't hit krayt yet)...

I guess it depends on the situation, in the go-it-alone need some fun its a tie between the Advanced and the Firespray: Advanced can turn on a dime and has a nice payload, while the Firespray - well, nothing beats the feel of baring down on someone with dual 4K+ guns . But my top pick goes to my Decimator, nothing beats the fun of taking a crew in to Deep Space and laying waste to everything.

I've done nearly all of Freelancer with one character, and up to Tier III Rebel with another, and so far I have to say each ship has its own charm. I could make a case for most any of them being excellent ships.I'm reallylooking forward to trying the Imperial fighters with my character from another server. Keeping in mind that I have not flown a Krayt, a B-Wing,an A-Wing or a Firespray...

Most Exciting PvE Ship - Either the Scyk or the Z-95. You can push these craft with a bit of tweaking well beyond their humble newbie origins. The further you climb up the skill ladder with them the more you appreciate them. I've taken both to Tier III with no support on missions from other pilots, and I have about a 50/50 shot at winning any time I take on 3 or so Tier IV enemies at a time. Just thrilling ships to fly, and modded correctly they look great too.

Best All Purpose PvE Ship - Heavy Black Sun Fighter (The Rix). I'm sure if I am this impressed with the Rix that the Krayt is going to blow my mind. Until then, though, this ismore than enough to get by on. It is fast, manuverable, well armed, and tough as nails. Good looking design, too.
