Hello and greetings, pilots of the New Republic and the Galactic Empire!
As you might know I fell in love with Star Wars Squadrons last week and after several crash landings and collisions with floating debris in outer space I think I've learnt a bit now how to fly straight on without damaging anything. I even tried multiplayer matches and fleet battles against capital ships like an Imperial Star Destroyer (ISD) or a Mon Calamari Cruiser (MCC). Geez, that was a crazy ride!
What I've also learnt is that it's absolutely critical to unlock certain components for your fighters. You can fly with the default loadout of course, but... let's be honest, this won't work very well. There are a few things to unlock that are "must haves" in my opinion which I'd like to present you here in this mini guide:
