As a Standard Action, the Pilot of an Airspeeder or Starfighter can initiate a Dogfight against an enemy Airspeeder or Starfighter in an adjacent square (Starship Scale).

Make a Pilot check at a -5 penalty, opposed by the target's own Pilot check.

If an enemy Starfighter tries to move through your square, or an adjacent square, you may attempt to initiate a Dogfight as an Attack of Opportunity. If successful, the enemy Starfighter must stop moving.

Consequences of Dogfighting[]

A Vehicle engaged in a Dogfight must select the Dogfight Action on every turn, and it cannot move out of its current square until it Disengages (see below).

While engaged in a Dogfight, you cannot attack any target outside the Dogfight.

Attacking in a Dogfight[]

Make an opposed Pilot check as a Standard Action, if you succeed on the opposed check, you may make a single attack with a Vehicle Weapon as a Swift Action.

If you fail, you cannot attack the target, and any Gunners in your Vehicle take a -5 penalty on any attack rolls they make until your next turn.

Disengaging from a Dogfight[]

Make an opposed Pilot check as a Move Action, if you succeed on the opposed check, you successfully Disengage from the Dogfight, and may move a number of squares equal to your Vehicle's Speed.

If you fail, you remain in the Dogfight, and any Gunners in your Vehicle take a -5 penalty on any attack rolls they make until your next turn.

Firing into a Dogfight[]

If another Vehicle fires into a Dogfight, it takes a -5 penalty on its attack roll, unless the Gunner has the Precise Shot feat.
