though i was asking myself about the turrets on the ISD, sometimes they fire, sometimes they dont? can you explain some more details on how its supposed to be???

Not really, it's the Y-Wing Starfighter, it was even the Rebs main fighter before the X-Wing came. Have a look on Wookiepeida (or the essential guide to vehicles and tech)

Also, on the fleet battle map..for the people in the gallowfree or the imperial equivelent...Your ship's purpose is to repair... follow a cruiser or nebulon frigate closely and it will be invincible.

Cause the damn transport pilots go RIGHT NEXT TO THE SD. they should go UNDER where it's safer.

No, wrong, Gallofrees HAVE to go above the ISDs right side to make the jump to light speed. If you go below you are either:
A Camping
B Doomed

You must go above it and go to the jump point which is the rebel objective point.

When you're engaging a capital ship and know which guns are active, try and make your approach from directly above and towards the gun in question. Often-times, it makes it tricky for gunners to shoot you down because you're at the top of their line of sight: depending on which way you break, they will not only need to lower the gun to track you, but also rotate it. More time consumed, more likely that you can escape to dump a few more torps. Does that make sense?

Never fly in a straight line unless you can CONFIRM that no enemy fighters are on your six. This applies when you're trying to shoot somebody down, and is downright essential when you're flying a craft with cardboard armor, such as the A-wing or TIE fighter/interceptor. It sure ruins your day when, immediately after fragging an enemy fighter, that guy waiting opportunistically on your six blows your engines.
And when the worst occurs and you KNOW there's a guy on your six, use every control axis available to juke them, including your throttle. It can be much harder to hit a closer target due to the high chance of overshooting. Conversely, try and hit the afterburners with a guy on your six, and your opponent has a much greater chance of hitting you, since the same motion doesn't move you very far relative to their crosshairs. Only use boost in a lightfight when your opponent overshoots your craft; use the boost to get out of their line of sight quickly, then vector and return to the fight, hopefully able to turn the tide.

Coordinate with other pilots and get wingmen whenever possible. This is a squad oriented game: wingmen offer many things.
-An second early warning system.
-Ability to destroy someone pursuing you, or enable you to eliminate their pursuer.
-Additional firepower when attacking hard targets: cap ships or transports.
-Multiple targets for a gunner to engage at once.
-Ability to challenge much greater odds at once, particular for Rebel wingpairs.
-Bombers go down faster, hereby reducing damage to sensitive targets on your side.
-Protection while reloading/repairing.
-Greater intimidation for enemy lone-wolf pilots.
-Greater chance of KILLING enemy lone-wolf pilots. Use the infamous tactic known as the "Bracket". You can research it online, but the jist of it is that you and your wingman break in opposite directions when encountering an enemy flying toward you, forcing the enemy to choose a target or fly straight. Once the wingpair knows where the foe is committing, it is incredibly easy to get on their tail for either flyer.
-There's always a risk of collision inherent with wingmen, but this is no different from the regular combat scenario. In fact, it's easier to avoid collision in a wingman situation because you guys are in communication. It's much more satisfying to call "Break to port" and break to starboard while they break port. No collision risk, and a single enemy pursuer must pick and choose which guy to go after, and must watch his six at the same time for the other guy. Multitasking makes people less likely to kill you.
-And, of course, the warm fuzzy feeling of teamplay. Better yet, get a third guy. Three's company.

Just one question. What is the utility of the principal gun of transports rebels (Gallofree)? There's munitions, ok, but for what? shield? a tractor-ray? because i don't see light effects...

(Sorry for my bad english, i'm french )

If you mean when you're the pilot, the left mouse button is your top shield, the right mouse your bottom shield

I agree the Y-wing isn't strictly bomber, I can dogfight better with it than with teh X-Wing lol.

ah, so you can engage your shields when you have to. got it.

Gotta gree with Mega-Death.  It's soooo fun to just fly around in space chasing after enemy fighters, but for the Hoth map protecting the transports and capital ships is of the utmost importance.  I'd really like to see the rebs finally get three transports away safely and win a round.  So far I have not seen one make it, though not for lack of trying.  I think in this case squad play would truly benefit.  Some squad members proving fighter escort for your squad's transport would make for good mission play as well as that warm and fuzzy teamwork feeling.  It can be done I tell ya!!    Also, I understand you can repair and re-arm by flying near your transport so collect them airmiles. 

Oh, one last bit on support.  The Y-wing with a gunner can be pretty tough to take out.  A good gunner can keep them pesky fighters off your tail.  Y-wing pilots, when you have a gunner remember that flying in a straight line for a short period of time can afford your gunner the time needed to blast the enemy fighter on your tail.  (KrazyKyle and I were doing this the other day and it definitely helped)

May the force be with you.

"Hey, you there!"    (remembering the fun of GC)
