X-Wing on the reb side, but then the Y is also damn good....TB is kinda sweet but the TF rocks as a fighter too even if it is pretty weak....oooo its too hard to choose! They all have their own strengths in their given areas that its hard to pinpoint which is best to use as an all rounder or which one I try to get first. TBH, I just get in which one is most useful at the time. I'm not a great jockey but I can usually hold my own in pretty much any ship so just adopt to whatever is needed. Transport to close, grab a bomber, fighters doing a good job of clearing, grab a TF or TI and clear them out of the way.

While I am on it though, a lot of people accuse me of hacking when on a space map, one because I was in an X he was in a TB and I had half hull but still shot him down head to head. Why? Because he flew straigth at me and I flicked a few torps his way which kinda helped. Don't go head to head against ANYONE if you can help it unless you just want to cause damage or are very confident, it aint worth it. Best way is to get behind as close as you can and then open up. If you see a target, dont go swooping straight down on it, if you can see him he can see you, keep him at the corner of the screen and move forward, he might then think you aren't after him and carry on to his target. Then swoop round and come behind him. Fighters, your job is to get rid of bombers, rely on team mates to get rid of others on your back. If you particularly like being cruel and are good at knowing where you are, flicking round in circles to confuse your pursuer usually results in them smashing in to a nearby big metal thing. Likewise, if you have two people chasing you a lot of the time they fly in to each other. If you are chasing and a team mate joins in, break off, you will hit each other!
