The X-wing is a solid starship that excels at a variety of roles. The ship is available to Alliance Starfighter Pilots at Starfighters III. The X-wing is slower and less maneuverable than its A-wing cousin, which puts it at a disadvantage in combat against TIE Advanced and faster targets. However, the fighter performs admirably, able to bring large amounts of firepower to bear without the slow-moving vulnerability of a Y-wing or B-wing. The X-wing is the backbone of the Alliance starfleet.
Pilot's Notes[]
Mid-tier pilots might welcome the X-wing when it becomes available to them. It has greater maneuvearbility than a Y-Wing and is tougher than a Z-95. Additional droid commands become available to pilots around the time they graduate to an X-wing - learn and incorporate these quickly in order to maximise this fighter's effectivess.
It's three laser slots shouldn't be overlooked: a canny pilot could fill these with light or medium-grade blasters and a good capacitor, which will allow them to make short work of unshielded TIE craft they're likely to engage.
Tier3 alliance pilots have access to level 7 equipment. This allows the addition of strong, economical shielding systems; and heavier weapon systems, on all Xwing fighters. It might be wise to limit weapon loadout to two blasters if using higher-level ones: this will provide greater damage output without draining capacitor reserves too rapidly.
A proton launcher is recommended.
