I disagree, now is completely fine to learn how to play starfighter. Sure occasionally there might be organized enemy team but usually they fly in groups and have 1 guy stationed at each satellite. When ppl see this they get completely discouraged to play but since you are in the game already why not make the most of it. The thing about flying in groups is that they leave other sats poorly or even unguarded. What I do here is to go to the sat with the 3 turrets, I will get killed before I take the sat but that doesnt matter because in that way i am forcing the enemy group to fly all over the map and if we are lucky to have other ppl doing the same thing you might get something out of this fight. Now the enemy has two options - chase me as a group or disperse, so you are practicing your evade skills or one on one dogfights.

If you often get 0/0 kills and assists wait couple of seconds when the game starts and see where your teammates are going, then go with them and provide cover by shooting the enemies who are hunting your mates. Shoot only when your aim is in the circle, surprise attack is your best advantage. If someone is hunting you run to your mates or spawn point then turn back and you become the hunter. P.S. I see a lot of guys shooting from over 6k distance, you can't hit anything because your weapon max range is for example 5k. Always be sure to have red colored aim before you shoot.

Gunship - providing cover for strikers and scouts (ranged dps) Striker - front line assault (tank) Sting/ Flashfire - support for strikers (dps) Blackbolt/ NovaDive - hunting gunships and enemies on the sides (counter ranged dps) Your problem is not op ships but no team play. In full 12vs12 the game divides you in 3 squadrons with 4 ships for each satellite. You need to select your ship according to the squadron you are in (that's why some of your teammates are highlighted on the map, that is your squadron). If you don't follow the rules of the game, don't complain about loosing.

I love when enemies are trying to escape my grip using barrel roll and then slam into rocks and stuff

Arcagrian - S-13 Sting - Stroke My Wookie - Tomb of Freedon Nadd - 31 Kills

Combine burst with overcharge and you will be on rampage

Against new guys who can't fly very good both can finish them in 2 sec. With concentrated fire on crit I do 1,400 dmg, they die in 2 hits. Bypass does not add more dmg to the hull it just directs portion of the dmg to the hull, so enemies die with 1/3 of their shields left, but with 1 crit i'm pretty sure i take more than 1/3 of their shields. Anyway my problem is when im in fight 2vs1 or 3vs1. It seems telemetry would be the better choice in that case

As crew skill I am using Concentrated Fire (the 35% crit chance) this is better than bypass for burst cannons in my opinion

I am very conflicted on what to use on my Sting. I am using Burst Laser Cannons and basically it comes down to choosing between 10% more dmg with 35% fire rate and 8% crit or 15% crit, 25% surge and 10% accuracy. Which one do you use on your Sting?

What affects how much requisition you will gain, I checked in google couldn't find solid info on this matter. They only say that medals don't affect requisition and that taking objectives helps and that's it... what are your observations when did you get most requisition and what did you do?

Slivovidze you are right, it's most likely the gunship skill because i was in dogfight with gunship. Well shame scouts cant use that skill Thank you for explaining it was bugging me so much

Servo Jammer suits perfectly for this skill, but I haven't seen this skill in other color. Here are all the options: http://dulfy.net/2013/11/16/swtor-galactic-starfighter/

It couldn't be missile because i didn't hear the lock sound and don't remember taking dmg... I thought it might be servo jammer too but it has blueish icon. The debuff icon was very similar to In Your Sights

As I was casually killing republics someone used active ability i believe where i was moving very very slowly for couple of seconds as if i shut down my engines, the debuff icon was purplish with ship on it. Now i searched all active skills and coudnt find it. The only one close to that is lockdown with 40% decrease speed but it has different icon. Any ideas what that was?

Thank you for the detailed answer, it seems my problems are with the armor and my play style. I am using custom armors and the item modifications were 5-6 lvls behind and for now i combined defense rating and absorb, now my overall armor rating is 2,5k which i think is good for 31 lvl.
