Star Wars: Squadrons/X-wing


 * Ah, the X-wing. Backbone of the Rebel Alliance, and our New Republic! A good all-rounder that'll stand up to any starfighter or capital ship in the Imperial fleet.

Fighters are flexible catch-all craft capable of dealing with any threat, though not to the same extent of interceptors or bombers. If in doubt what to pull, however, fighters are an easy choice. They reward accuracy with their 3-round burst weapons, which cause more damage than the standard, and can attack capital ships at range with torpedoes.

X-wings are unique in that they have shielding, and can thus redirect their shields either forward or aft for extra defences. By redirecting their power to shields, they can also double the effectiveness of the shield. It is strongly advised to do this before going into battle.
