I love my X-wing...

[Ekade]

(Taken from a PM I sent to Keer.. thought you all might like to share in my joy..)

When we were flying together, my X-wing was only sporting 2 guns.

Now that I have completed tier 3... I have the equiptment necessary to sport 3 guns.

The X-wing is nothing short of pure sexual energy right now. With 3 guns, I will do 3200-4800 if I hit with all of them.

While I was once sporting a Y-wing carring a mass of 30k... The seX-wing is nearly maxed at 98k worth of pure whoopass.

Plus, the Goddess smiled upon me as I looted a 95 base speed engine.

I was doing well against tier 4's.. with my recent upgrades, I truly have a ship worthy of the name "Goddess' Fury".

The XWing has 95k Mass? Why is my TIE stuck at 60k?

[Ekade]

The A-wing is 60k also.

Remember the X-wing is built to be the tank of the rebellion. The A-Wing and TIE fighters were designed with manuverability in mind. The mass reduction is for that purpose would be my guess.

The XWing has 95k Mass? Why is my TIE stuck at 60k?

Just for scale:

TIE Fighter = MIG 15, 17, or 21

X-Wing = F-14

X-Wing minus Astromech Droid, 2 lasers, cockpit life support (TIE pilots wear spacesuits), S-Foil mecha, and all the luggage Luke pulled out on Dagobah = TIE Fighter
