I think the better question is why would you want to switch? I get first everyday with mace, and rarely fall below 6th. The other 9 ships in my top 10 run ackbar, doesn't matter if they have scimitar or tie advanced or whatever. Play about 2 rounds and see what their strategy will be, spam target locks and debuff if I need to, then let auto do the rest. Rarely do I lose this way.
