4/4/4/3 Freelance (I fly for CorSec, but that's just for the clearance...I swear!).

Need to just go run the Vette mission and then I can finally pop my YT.

Droid Programs are a must at Tier 4... you will not get far.... I made it that far without, but it was a drag, you will wonder why you didn't use them before....


I recommend the following



Weapon Cap Overload 3 - Freelance Skill

Engine Overload 3 - Imp skill (get your favorite Imp pilot to burn onto driod chips)

Reactor Overload 3 -Freelance Lvl 3 skill

Weapon Overload 3 - Imp skill


Load these into a L4 Flight comp and have fun, you will truely wonder how you got along without them....

I'm a 1/1/X/X SA pilot, got to 3/3/3/3 Imp, but decided, Freelance was more Smugglerish. If anyone on Ahazi needs a Gunner for a MP ship, send me a tell. I'm a BMF when it comes to shootin'

I'm a SA pilot on two servers (4/4/4/4 on Kauri and 3/4/4/4 on Starsider). The thing I love about piloting is that you can actually watch your skills increase and not in an artificial CL sort of way. I remember struggling through the early tiers of SA on Kauri, but when I decided to create a new character on Starsider, I was amazed at how much easier it was the second time around. Now I completely get why some people Ace a squadron and drop it all to do another. Way too much fun!



Hello, I must be going. I cannot stay, I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going.

I ravenously consumed JTL when it came out... And I haven't really gone a day when I connected and didn't blow something up in space since. Heck, I commandeered a guildmate's house for my own use because my stock of high level parts was causing my YT to get too full on a regular basis.


I've been cruising around in a Bel-22 that I picked up and, while I don't generally like to boast, I'm really pleased with its performance andI'm proud enough of it thatI feel I haveto share it with someone. Apologies to those who find this uninteresting.

This is a known bug but can be worked around. Nestle in among the docile Hutt ships and fire off a couple of salvoes at the Rancor Clan to get them moving. After some initial maneuvering they'll start firing at you and since they're such lousy shots they'll hit the Hutts as much as they hit you. This will make them wake up and join the fight. It makes it all a little easier.

Master Pilot for the Smugglers Alliance with my pride and joy, "Crimson Star", my YT. Although my ship of choice is my juicy Krayt Heavy Fighter that's got a bite worse than it's bark. I fly alot. Space just doesn't seem to get old.
