I used to be like you, my mk4 speeder got me to 1700, but my mk5 speeder failed as the highest I got to was 1900. However I flopped so I tried out all the other ships. I was decent with every ship but to be honest they were all just boring, compared to speeder. But then I tried out a selfish fixer. And I found out that it was very fun, less fun than speeder as the selfish fixer is slower but still a lot of fun. It also has the added bonus of being able to heal yourself up quickly meaning that you are what you would call a speeder on bandage steroids
Select selfish fixer and stick with it. Improve your efficiency with one item and when you get to mk6, u will get a second item which will help a lot as you would be able to put up as much damage as the rest of your team easily. And being selfish can mean having 3 tapes but its up to you, you could use two tapes and have a spare pulse which u should only use in emergencies. In my opinion, three tapes is best as it allows you to not be distracted by your teammates.
Its a team game though, so whenever I see any teammates, I often shield them to stop them getting hit, especially if they are about to die. I even run into torps
but as long as I stop them getting hit its ok. However it is important to keep this a s a second objective so I often just do this at the start or at the end where it might come down to a 2vs2 or so.. The first is to be selfish, or be bait, which is also useful for ur team.
Selfish fixer allows me to be an assasin like a speeder but while the low speed means you get hit more than a speeder, the healing more than makes up for it. Just strap on an excellent turbo and overboost/nitro on your fixer and you would be close enough to a speeder in speed anyway. You have some good tapes and don't worry if they are weak. Currently I use a tier 4 rare but my second one is a tier 1 epic and a tier 1 uncommon
which are really weak compared to the tier 4 epic weapons people have. But I am still at 2000 and its how you use the tapes. Often when you are close to death, you should find cover so you can reheal. That's a lesson I should learn myself , as sometimes I am a bit too arrogant and end up getting myself killed and my team loses the match because of it.
I said more on this than I have ever said on the Selfish Fixer Thread.
