This is perhaps the most balanced starfighter in space, fortified with quick speed, quad lasers, respectable shielding, and a tough hull. Though it can be outmaneuvered by most TIE craft, its shielding keeps the X-Wing safe through most scuffles. The X-Wing is also flexible, as it can be flown in a number of different ways, depending on the configuration of your lasers and shields. For example, you may wish to keep lasers at maximum charge and shields at minimum, transferring laser energy over to shields as needed, depending on the nimbleness of your piloting skills. However, TIE Fighters can be destroyed with very few shots, so you might want to keep shields at maximum charge and lasers at minimum. No matter how you choose to allocate energy among shields, lasers, and engines, the X-Wing can be flown effectively.

Fire-linking the X-Wing's four guns is recommended against the virtually defenseless TIEs, as a single shot can spell their destruction. The X-Wing packs just eight warheads - sufficient for a dogfight, but generally not enough to deal with anything larger than a starfighter. Rely on its four lasers, reserving the missiles or torpedoes for when you truly need them.
