Star fighter/space combat

By Nerhesi, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game

Just a couple of questions for someone getting into this game. Previously my friends and I played traveller and are exploring a more.. Star Wars universe given how we’re fans :)

A) Are the Tie Advanced fighters in any of the books? I don’t see them even in dawn of the rebellion...

B) I’ve heard some not so great things about Starfighter combat. Can you not make hotshot nearly unhittable aces? Are star fighters crappy? Is the system not so great for small craft fighting?

C) Can we run something like the millennium falcon and have several crew members taking part of space combat? Or is it just the pilot and maybe a gunner?

D) what is the most optimized fighter out there given the current books. Both to be wary of/avoid and to use for a “ooh boss fight” scene?

Posted in the wrong forum... will move.
