Once Ace got over the general oh-my-god-awesome reaction to the alien feel of the swept-forward wings, she did better than she expected to. Because she wasn't as distracted by speed as she'd been with the X-wing, she got a better handle on trying to maneuver and shoot at the same time. She wasn't going to come anywhere near Jaina's score, but not bad at all for an Earth kid from 1986.
