VD is slow as hell!

Why are the droid ships so slow? (i know it has no pilot on board) Maxed out VD has only 177 speed... Ani has 189 tho
Just to help you CG... it is 12 speed difference!!! This ship is f..ed up this way.

    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.

    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?


    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


    Anything that increases pilot GP increases ship stats. Now the difference in GP between mod colors is pretty low, so ship stat increases will be fairly neglible.

    that's not true, ship stats remain the same even if you increase pilot GP by assigning different mods (aside from the mod lvl/dots obviously)
