Hi everybody, I have read the book so many times and I still cant understand something:

In a starfighter combat, if I use a one pilot starfighter like a TIE ou a Y-wing, when I make a attack I use "gunnery" or "piloting (space) or (planetary)"?

Because a starfighter have a fixed arc turret, for me the gunnery skill is just for moving turrets like the Millenium Falcon turrets.

Sorry for any gramatical wrong, i'm not american.

Piloting is for flying the ship, gunnery is for operating the weapons of the ship, both fixed and in turrets.

All vehicular weapons, and some personal weapons, use gunnery. Nothing to do with turrets...

Some vehicular weapons use Ranged (Heavy).

Gunnery (unless otherwise stated) it's assumed that the pilot is maneuvering the craft to try and hit his target as part of the gunnery check.

In this system fire arcs aren't really used on one-man fighters. Since the system says a fighter can always shoot at anything in range, the fire arcs of weapons are more about the narrative.

The Fire Arcs matter much more on multi-crew craft, as they allow the players to work within the narrative. A good example being the pilot of a Y-wing shooting the laser cannons at one target, and the gunner being able to shoot the turreted ion cannons at another.

Thank you everybody, now I could understand the rule.

One house rule* i once saw about firing arc and liked is: The ship with Gain the Advantage choose where she is relative to the target ship.

So, if the "GtA" ship choose to be on the left of another ship with only front-facing canons, the second ship cannot return fire until she actually wins a GtA check.

*At last i think this is a house rule and not RAW.

It is. RAW the only time facing is formally tracked is with capital ships.

Your house rule will work fine as long as the slower and less maneuverable craft is also loaded with turrets. If you don't have this match up, the faster manueverable will have an easy time, and be able to stay in a good place to shoot without being shot at themselves.

Gunnery, as others have stated. That way you can have the not great pilot but super gunner characters... like the Red Baron!
