VD is slow as hell!

Sorry, I can't resist in commenting on calling the Vulture Droids VD. There's a joke there somewhere...

With regard to your post, I have found the same to be true, they are slow. With other ships, the advice I've been given is to speed-up the pilots, but that is not an option for these. Is it possible this is the trade-off of not having to gear pilots as well as develop the ships?

Given that speed 177 is faster than more than half the ships in the game, I'm not sure why this is considered "slow". That's kind of like complaining GMY is slow because Dooku has a faster base speed.

You got bad advice. Pilot speed is irrelevant. Mod primary/secondary stats are irrelevant. What will make the ship faster is:
1) Higher gear level on the pilot.
2) Higher relic level on the pilot
3) Higher dot mods (6 > 5 > 4 or less).
4) Higher mod color (gold > purple > blue > green > gray)

Mod colors do absolutely nothing to the ship stats

Not true.

I dunno. I have always heard VD spreads pretty quickly if you don't hit it with a bit of Penicillin.

This is like that moment you know when you are waiting in the VD clinic...and the doors open and the doctor comes out and says "Billy... you're good to go." Or "Billy... you got VD."

That's what Hyena is for. Hyena taunts when Vulture gets below half hp or is target locked.

Also, if a decent Fives is in their opening trio there is a good chance he'll hit Vulturw first. That will push Vulture ahead of Anakin, letting you hit Ani with buzz droids and letting Ani kill himself pretty easily.

I think it is... You can't have ships sans pilot gear grind and expect them to outdo, likely, relic 7 ships (opponents Anakin).

I think thats what he meant by speeding up the pilots, honestly.
