Whatever they are, they're cute, but don't let that fool ya. They're a roudy, spear wielding lot of little heathens. They keep challenging my balls to fight for the position of "Chief".

If you need Concussion missiles and Ion cannons to defeat your foes, then I am sorry, you do not belong flying MY Imperial ships. You can just hop over to the Rebel scum and use their "shields" and "Hyperdrive" systems on their ships.

Me? While I concur the DeathStar is the ultimate objective for me, I will GLADLY take up my T/I against anyone here.

BTW, I believe the A-wing wasn't fully developed until just before the Battle of Endor. Also, the T/A was only a prototype for Darth Vader, and therefore not in production until Endor. Derfud, correct me if I am wrong. No one else is allowed to correct me. He is the only one besides myself fully versed in the Star Wars universe, at least from the post replies I have seen here.

I don't know but I am surely as hell making a imperial pilot to blast people with a T/I. God I love the agility of that ship! *drools*

And to reinforce Sputty's statement:

Boba Fett's Slave 1 is just a modified Kuat systems engineering firespray-class patrol and attack ship, just heavily modified. Not some secret ship.

Random SW Fact:

There are 3 models of the Skipray blastboat, the 12h, 12i, and 12j. The 12h was developed before the destruction of the first death star.

Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral BEFORE the battle at Endor, he oversaw construction of the Missle Boat and the TIE Defender before the battle of Endor as a way to fight Zarrin's technological capabilities...

And about needing Ion Cannons and Concussion missles... you try taking on a capitol ship with lasers, sure thats what the TIE Bomber is meant for, but the Defender is an assault craft, its supposed to be able to stand up to the bigger targets...

Sputty · 2004-06-16, 04:07 PM

Sentrosi:The A-Wing was developed shortly after Yavin(more like around Empire)
The TIE Defender was developed around Endor, but didn't enter construction until after.

BTW, as much as I dislike this Tie Fighters currently are planned to have hyperdrives(

) for balance and logistics reasons

BTW, it was the 12h version of the Skipray that was developed shortly before the Battle of Yavin.

Vader's X2 supposedly had hyperdrive cpability... as did the TIE Advanced but that is not developed until TESB time...

Yeah...and?....

and therefore... they botched it up... it should just be that a TIE pilot has to either A) dock at a star destroyer in system (at which point he would be prompted to select a warp destination... or B) you have to use a shuttle and your TIE just appears at the destination... I like the first option tho...

I still say an assualt gunboat would be nice... hyper-capable, minimal sheild, high speed... a very nice assault craft...

hyperdrives on Tie Fighters?

This game just lost me.

Everay · 2004-06-16, 06:48 PM

well, you do forget that at one point in Tie Fighter they do get hyperdrives on Tie Fighters, late into the game that ism, 7th Campain i think. or so.

Dharkbayne · 2004-06-16, 07:27 PM

I just remembered you can be a mon calamari. I'm making "Admiiral Acckbar" and I'm going to fly around screaming "IT'S A TRAP! IT'S A TRAP! IT'S A TRAP! IT'S A TRAP! IT'S A TRAP! IT'S A TRAP! IT'S A TRAP! IT'S A TRAP!"

Derfud · 2004-06-16, 07:42 PM

I see nothing wrong with TIE fighters having hyper drives. Since the game is about customization. However, to be completely satisfied, I want to see full, complete customization. Like so:

PS: That image took way to long to make.
