« on: September 06, 2007, 01:03:29 AM »yes. lighter, cheaper, and weaker.

Quote
All TIE series starfighters had two or more ion engine outlets, linked to a solar ionization reactor and solar array wings.

« on: September 04, 2007, 01:04:33 AM »yep. It is a hard job for two entirely different fighter designs.

« on: September 03, 2007, 07:02:09 PM »It would take more than good mechanic, more like an uber 1337 mechanic, to take parts of other fighters and put them together to make it better

« on: September 03, 2007, 06:49:36 PM »and a good mechanic can rework it into a suppior ship

« on: September 02, 2007, 03:31:33 AM »pirates can't afford to build or buy top quality fighters, like X-wing and Tie Defender. so they buy cheap and propably broken ships and rebuild them to work.

« on: September 01, 2007, 05:08:33 PM »An original is a tie fighter and i think they are evenly matched except Y-TIE uglies have hyperdrive engines and turrets but are very unmaneuvable so its hyperdrive and ion cannon vs very good maneuverability
