Weird meta question for RPG

By melminiatures, in X-Wing

So, my friends and I usually play X-Wing as a roleplaying game, where one controls all the imperial ships and designs the missions and the rest control just one rebel fighter. As you kill enemies or do missions you get ecperience points which equal to squad points.

At this point I have enough experience points to go around in my own Corellian Corvette. But I cant do that, it has to be a fighter (no large ships either).

So here is my question and I would love ideas and suggestions. Considering that it will fly next to the rest of the squadron (it doesnt need to survive solo missions) What (rebel or scum) fighter would you make as the best individual fighter? Best combo of upgrades and pilot ability to play in different kinds of scenarios.

Are the missions being designed without respect to what you yourself are flying? If so, I'd go with an E-Wing. It is probably the single best small ship in the Rebel fleet, with lots of nice upgrade options.

The Virago if your DM will allow you. There are sooooo many neat tricks you can do with that.

E-Wing with the right upgrades or B-Wing would be my top choices.

Or...go Hard Mode: HEADHUNTER!!!! :lol: :P

Edit: the Virago is also probably pretty good, but I haven't had personal experience with it.

E-wing is probably the most solid. Starviper could be cool but we don't know the dial yet, right ?

But with that being said, i would play Tycho's pilot ability A-wing

Tycho Celchu (26)
Push the Limit (3)
Proton Rockets (3)
Outmaneuver (3)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Total: 37

Depends on your abilities, but yes.

Assuming points aren't an issue, I would either take:

E-Wing, Advanced Sensors, Engine Upgrade, Push The Limit, R2 Astromech - One of the most manouvreable fighters out there

or

B-wing, Fire Control System, Shield Upgrade, Heavy Laser Cannon, B-Wing/E, Gunner - Head-to head, nothing comes close

We do not know its dial yet, but we will within the next month (most likely). We do know it has S-loop :) .

Awesome. Thanks people. Yes, the ship is for every scenario. If im reluctant with the E-Wing is because I dont want to die... so I feel safer on a B-Wing.

Currently, I use Ibitisam (I like his ability combined with Push the Limit and the pilot skill is not that necesary because we mainly fight generic TIEs) with Sensor Jammer, Heavy Laser Cannon, Push the Limit, Engine Upgrade and also an Advanced Proton Torpedo and a Ion Torpedo (one for main targets and the other one for swarms).
