Fun Ranking

By Lagomorphia, in X-Wing

Terrible thread title, I know. :P

It's quite simple, rank the ships you've flown in terms of how fun they are to fly (rather than by how good they are).

I'd go

Interceptor
Firespray
Lambda/Boost Y-wing
TIE fighter/X-wing/TIE Advanced
Y-wing/HWK/TIE Bomber
Falcon

but the only ones I'm really confident on are that the Falcon's the dullest and the PTL Interceptor and Firespray take the top spots. I've got B-wings now but haven't had a chance to fly them. A-wing I quite simply can't find at all.

I don't have too many ships yet, but so far I really, really like the Firespray. It's really rewarding to plan each move (plus any boosts/barrel rolls from upgrades) with either the front or rear firing arc in mind.

Also, it doesn't get old saying, "Kath Scarlet is shooting out of her butt at (random Rebel pilot)."

YT-1300

X-Wing

Y-Wing

B-Wing

I play exclusively(almost) Empire and my favorite ship to fly has always been the plain ol' Tie Fighter. I have also had a lot of fun flying Interceptors and lately have really been digging playing Bombers. I am not a fan of the Firespray although I have had fun flying it. The Shuttle is just garbage and not fun at all to fly. It flies like a leg-less centipede on a hot griddle under a pile of pond slime. As far as the Rebel ships go, I liked flying X wings and Y wings, but as I have only played 2 games with Rebels I can't make much of an opinion.

Interceptor

A-Wing

B-Wing with Adv Sensors
Tie Advanced

Tie Fighter

Tie Bomber

YT-1300 with Boost/EH

X-Wing

Y-Wing

Lamda with Adv Sensors & Engine

Firespray

Hawk

Named YT with engine upgrade and expert handling is always good for some fun. Same goes for the Firespray. Barrel roll and boost with a large base is just generally good times, or at least it always has been for me.

Rebels:

Awing
ORS with APL
Ywing (no turret)

Ywing (turret + engine upgrade)
Bwing
Xwing
HWK / Ywing (turret)
Falcon


Imperials:
TIEint PTL
Firespray + expert handling
TIEint no PTL, w/ named abilities
TIE
Firespray
TIEbomber
TIEadv
Shuttle

Firespray has always been the most fun for me, but part of that is the Seismic Charges. TIE bombers have that capability, too, but I have been flooded with so many options that I haven't used TIE bombers much. I really like adding Engine Upgrade to the Firespray, too. Loads of fun!

Firespray
TIE interceptor
X-wing

TIE fighter
Y-wing
TIE advanced
A-wing

Everything else kind of blurs together for me. A lot of it depends on the build, and I haven't played them in enough varied builds to make an informed ranking. They could fall out anywhere on this list after I have more experience with them.

Interceptor

A-wing

TIE, TIE advanced

Y-Wing

X-wing, B-wing

Firespray

Bomber

Shuttle

HWK

YT1300

A-Wing

Interceptor

YT-1300

Of all I've played, most fun to least fun:

A-wing

Interceptor

Bomber

X-wing, TIE Fighter

B-wing

YT-1300

Even though the Falcon is at the bottom, it's still quite fun to fly. However, the sheer strategy involved to play A's, Squints, and Bombers (w/ bombs) is far more rewarding when you can pull it off.

X-Wing

B-Wing

Tie Bomber

Tie Advanced

Tie Interceptor / A-Wing

Hawk

Y-Wing

Firespray

Falcon / Shuttle

My hands down #1 Fun ship to fly is a Tie Interceptor with PTL and Turr as the pilot. His merry dance of destruction through the enemy fleet is so much fun.

The Shuttle even with engine upgrade just makes my head hurt.

Tycho with PTL and Daredevil.

Hands down the most fun available in the game.

YT/Firespray w/Engine Upgrade

A-wing/Squint w/PTL

B-wing w/Advanced Sensors & Engine Upgrade

Anything else seems slow and plodding...
